The year 2023 will be known for the resurgence of Bollywood. From biggest money spinners to sleeper hits, this year has seen it all. Recently, Abhishek Bachchan commented on the comeback of Bollywood and named the biggest hit film of the year. Interestingly, Abhishek's choice of the biggest hit is neither Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, Jawan, Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 nor Ranbir Kapoor's latest blockbuster, Animal. 

For Abhishek Bachchan, the biggest hit of 2023 is...

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's directorial, Vikrant Massey-starrer 12th Fail. Recently, Abhishek attended a Galatta Plus roundtable discussion with Bhumi Pednekar, Konkana Sen Sharma and Vikrant. Sharing his thoughts on the year 2023, Abhishek explained how 12th Fail is the biggest hit of the year. "Being a keen observer of, and a student of the industry, you also have to understand something known as a quantum. Vikrant has given a great example of a small film with a big heart working, but with all due respect, I’m not sure what his budget would’ve been. But it can’t have been more than single digits, or Rs 10-12 crore. A movie that is made on that budget is going to have the possibility of only a certain kind of marketing. It’s going to grow, as it should because it’s a good film. And that’s a prerequisite.”

Abhishek further compared 12th Fail business with Jawan, and said, "It’s not possible for a film like (12th Fail) that, because of the system, to do Rs 500 crore. He doesn’t have those kinds of theatres. The amount of people he’s managed to show the film too is because he has a particular number of theatres, so its occupancy percentage will be very high. You can’t expect him to compete with a Jawan, which is made on a budget of possibly 20x of what his budget was. And, it’s Mr Shah Rukh Khan, who’s one of the biggest stars that the nation has ever seen. Every film has its own quantum, but if you see the percentage ROI (Return on investment), I’m sure (Vikrant) has got the biggest hit of the year." Released on October 27, 12th Fail has crossed the benchmark of 50 days in cinemas and grossed Rs 65.98 crores worldwide.
