Year Ender 2022: Bollywood witnessed many ups and downs in the year 2022. From the after-effects of Covid-19 to the 'Boycott Bollywood' trend, the Indian cinema industry rode over its worst phase this year. Even when theatres opened after Covid hiatus, several films flopped at the box office as cinemagoers refused to step into the theatres to watch Bollywood movies. However, movies from Southern film industries and international films did brisk business at the domestic box office.
