October 2018 has been a month that taught Bollywood a lesson that it should stick to by now - unless you have Salman Khan or Tiger Shroff on action mode, your film needs to have a good script. Two Bollywood movies, among the multiple releases that came out last month, that earned the hit status were backed by a good script and was well- received by the critics too. It is another matter that both starred Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead, making him the king of October box office, earning hits in Badhaai Ho and AndhaDhun. Ayushman Khurrana's Badhaai Ho, Arjun Kapoor's Namaste England, Sohum Shah's Tumbbad - Ranking all October 2018 Bollywood Releases From WORST to BEST!

October may not have a Rs 100 crore hit, but Badhaai Ho is slowly creeping into that club, which would make it Ayushmann's first movie to do so. Another critically acclaimed film, Tumbbad, may have earned not great due to limited promotions and lack of commercial stars. However, the movie is getting a steady traction thanks to positive word of mouth publicity. Sadly, the rest of the releases tanked big time, save for Hollywood film Venom. After Tom Hardy's Venom, Sony Pictures To Focus on Another Spider-Man Spinoff, Morbius, Starring Jared Leto
