Obsession’s Indian Box Office Journey Nears ₹50 Crore Landmark
Hollywood psychological horror thriller Obsession, with Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette in the lead, is on the verge of crossing the coveted ₹50 crore mark at the Indian box office. The Curry Barker directorial, made with a budget of less than ₹100 crore, has already achieved global acclaim, pulling in an astonishing ₹1,800 crore worldwide.
Director Curry Barker, who has steadily built a reputation for intense storytelling, brings a fresh sensibility to the genre. Both Johnston and Navarrette, though not household names in India, have managed to captivate audiences with their riveting performances. The film's compelling narrative and atmospheric tension have driven significant theatre occupancies across urban and regional centres alike.
Obsession’s success is particularly notable given its cast of relatively lesser-known faces and modest production scale. The sustained response in Indian theatres has led to widespread buzz on social media, reflecting strong engagement from horror enthusiasts. As per reports, the film’s phenomenal run has prompted the makers to delay its VOD release to July 2026, underlining the demand for theatrical experience.
With Obsession maintaining its momentum, fans can look forward to further box office milestones and eventual digital availability next year.
