Twitter has been abuzz with reports that Akshay Kumar's "Gabbar Is Back" is the highest grosser of 2015 and has also shattered the records of "Baby".
But trade website Bollywood Hungama tweeted that "Gabbar Is Back" is the second highest grosser, while Akshay's "Baby" is the highest grosser of 2015.
"@akshaykumar holds the record for the Highest [#BABY] and the Second Highest [#GABBARISBACK] grossing film of 2015," trade website Bollywood Hungama tweeted.

Nevertheless, "Gabbar Is Back" has touched the coveted ₹100 crore club at the worldwide box office. After Akshay's "Baby", it's "Gabbar Is Back" that has taken its net worldwide box office total to more than ₹100 crore.
The overseas box office collection of "Gabbar Is Back" is $2.8 million (₹17.81 crore).
"@akshaykumar 's #GABBARISBACK's total overseas gross stands at 2.8 mil USD [₹17.81 cr] at the end of third weekend," Bollywood Hungama added.
