For more than a decade Yami Gautam has built a reputation not through noise but through consistency. She isn’t the kind of actor who depends on aggressive PR or controversies; her work has quietly done the talking. And when you look closely at her box-office report card it paints an interesting picture of an actor who has balanced mainstream appeal with performance-driven choices.
From high-octane action dramas to socially rooted stories and sharp political thrillers Yami’s filmography covers a surprisingly wide spectrum. Here’s a closer look at how her biggest releases have fared.

Which Yami Gautam film earned the most?
Uri: The Surgical Strike
The clear leader on Yami’s list is the 2019 blockbuster Uri: The Surgical Strike. Directed by Aditya Dhar the film was a cultural moment by itself fuelled by strong word of mouth packed theatres and nationalism-driven sentiment. With a whopping Rs 342.06 crore it remains her highest-grossing film and one of Bollywood’s biggest successes of the decade.

Which films strengthened her position after Uri?
OMG 2
Released in 2024 OMG 2 brought another major win for Yami. Directed by Amit Rai the film opened to strong reviews and maintained momentum steadily ending its run at Rs 221.08 crore. It reinforced Yami’s ability to shine even in multi-starrer narratives.

Kaabil
The 2017 action-thriller Kaabil directed by Sanjay Gupta also crossed the 200-crore milestone. The film collected Rs 208.14 crore marking one of Yami’s early box-office triumphs.

Which mid-range hits added to her success?
Bala
Released in 2019 Amar Kaushik’s social comedy Bala emerged as a major hit of its year. With a box-office collection of Rs 172 crore it showcased Yami’s comic timing and versatility.

Article 370
In 2024 Yami headlined the political action thriller Article 370. Directed by Aditya Suhas the film made Rs 110.57 crore proving she can carry a film entirely on her shoulders.

Badlapur
The 2015 thriller Badlapur directed by Sriram Raghavan collected Rs 103 crore. Even in a limited role Yami made her presence felt in a film admired for its dark layered storytelling.

Which films didn’t perform as expected?
Action Jackson
Despite being a major commercial venture directed by Prabhu Deva Action Jackson failed to deliver. It earned Rs 88.87 crore and despite the big names attached the film was widely considered a disaster.

Batti Gul Meter Chalu
Directed by Shree Narayan Singh the 2018 drama Batti Gul Meter Chalu struggled at the box office and ended with Rs 56 crore—one of the weaker performers in Yami’s career.

Highlights:

Yami’s highest-grossing film remains Uri with over Rs 342 crore.
She has three films crossing the 200-crore mark.
Despite a few misses Yami’s overall box-office graph remains strongly positive.
