The USA box office went berserk with the arrival of Rajamouli, Ram Charan, and Jr NTR's RRR which opened in theaters on the 25th of March, 2022. But what about the other Indian films that hit the theaters across the USA through the course of 2022?

Here's a brief report on the highest grossing Indian films in the USA market. The list is complied by data sourced from reliable box office tracking portals. 

1 - RRR - $14.5M
2 - Brahmastra - $7.6M
3 - KGF Chapter 2 - $7.4M
4 - Ponniyin Selvan 1 - $6.7M
5 - The Kashmir Files - $4.05M
6 - Laal Singh Chadda - $3.37M
7 - Gangubai Kathiawadi - $3.32M
8 - Drishyam 2 - $3.18M
9 - Vikram - $2.85M
10 - Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 - $2.56M

While RRR is obviously the biggest grosser of 2022, it still couldn't come even remotely close to the epic Baahubali 2 which did over $20 million(all languages) in the USA. RRR is followed by Bramhastra which did surprisingly well in the USA and then there's KGF 2 and Ponniyin Selvan.

What will be the case with Indian biggies which are lined up for release in 2023? Can any film even come close to RRR, let alone breaking its record? We shall wait and see.
