Every year the trade sites run a version of this page, the one that turns raw box office numbers into a verdict everyone can argue over. Koimoi's 2026 edition for Marathi cinema is up now, and it's less a scoreboard than a rulebook, laying out exactly what separates a Super Duper Hit from a plain old Flop.

The thresholds are specific. A film needs to clear 100 crore in collections and return 200 percent on its budget to earn the Super Duper Hit tag, the top of the ladder. Drop a notch and you get Super Hit, which asks for 150 percent returns, still comfortably more than double the money spent. Below that sits Plus, the category for films that recover their budget and turn some profit on top, nothing spectacular, nothing embarrassing either.

Then it gets less forgiving. Average means a film simply breaks even, no profit, no loss, the box office equivalent of a shrug. Losing is the tier nobody wants, where a film comes up short but keeps its losses under 50 percent of budget. And Flop is Flop, more than half the investment gone, no ambiguity left.

Worth noting, and Koimoi says this plainly, these verdicts run purely on theatrical numbers. OTT deals, TV rights, music licensing, none of that factors into whether a film gets called a hit or a flop on this page. A movie could lose money in cinemas and still come out ahead once the satellite and streaming cheques land, but that's a different ledger entirely.

The other caveat, and it's an important one for anyone quoting these figures elsewhere: the numbers are estimates. Koimoi says as much in its own disclaimer, that the collections aren't independently verified and are drawn from various sources circulating in the trade. That's fairly standard practice across Indian box office reporting, where distributor figures, exhibitor claims and trade tracker estimates rarely line up exactly, but it's worth keeping in mind before anyone treats a number on this page as gospel.

What the page doesn't have yet, at least in what's been published so far, is a name. No specific 2026 Marathi release has been confirmed against these tiers in the material available, which means the actual scoreboard, the one with titles and rupee figures attached, is still filling in. Koimoi says the page updates regularly through the year.

So the real story here isn't which film has hit Super Duper Hit status. It's that the industry now has a fairly rigid, publicly stated bar for what counts as one, a 100 crore floor with a 200 percent return attached. Whichever Marathi release gets there first in 2026 will have a very clear number to beat, and an equally clear one to avoid.
