The following is a list of highest-grossing Bengali (Indian) films based on gross. There is no official tracking of sales and online sources publishing data are frequently unreliable.
The Indian Bengali film industry is centered in the Tollygunge neighborhood of the city of Kolkata, West Bengal, and has been known by the nickname Tollywood, a portmanteau of the words Tollygunge and Hollywood, since 1932. West Bengal was the center of Indian cinema in the 1930s, with Bengali cinema accounting for a quarter of India's film output in the 1950s. A 2014 industry report stated that while there were about 100 films created in Bengali every year, no more than ten percent were breaking even financially. The Bengali film industry which valued around 120-150 crores in terms of revenue in 2014, has diminished over the years to 66 crores in 2023.
