Bollywood 100 Crore Films

Ghajini was the first film to cross 100 crores at the Indian box office. Couple of years later, Aamir Khan returned with 3 Idiots and not only crossed 100, but hit a double century, a record that still stands.

Today, 100 crores is no longer a big deal. With Ek Tha Tiger, Salman Khan smashed a century in 5-6 days and his 2011 EID release Bodyguard crossed 100 crores in just 7 days.

Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan hold the record for the most films in the 100 crore club – both have 4 films each. Shahrukh Khan has three (Ra One, Don 2, Jab Tak Hai Jaan).

In 2012, there were 3 new entrants into the coveted club – Hrithik Roshan was the first this year as Agneepath did 120 crore of business in India. Akshay Kumar followed it up with two films (Rowdy Rathore, Housefull 2) and Ranbir Kapoor also hit a century with the critically acclaimed Barfi!

    Gadar had sold about 3.5 crore tickets, and HAHK had sold around 4 crore ticket. you can check that.
    you can see yourself that HAHK would have grossed more if released today. adjusted for inflation means multiplying the amount of ticket sold with todays ticket prices so if sholay had grossed so less than HAHK then it would mean that it sold very less tickets than HAHK.

    don’t be so sure about SHOLAY cause many reports say that it would be the highest grossing film if adjusted for inflation but nobody can say for sure, movies released before 1994 had less screens and many re releases and how much they grossed in the releases is near impossible to tell really. re releases in different years would mean change in ticket prices.

    and though I appreciate your list, I really think we should not compare old and new films. Sholay would not even have released in 500 screens and today films are releasing in more than 3500 screens and today films don’t run for 10, 20 or 25 weeks. mostly the first weekend tells all about it. there are pirated dvd’s on internet and everywhere. People value a big star much more than a good film. when sholay had released Amitabh Bachchan was not so popular. dharminder and all other were popular but not that much but still it was a good film and became such a success.

    We should not compare them so if they have grossed less, their real value don’t come down. We should let them be known as the start of the success of Bollywood. DEEWAR and many other good films do not make to the list so many would think that they weren’t good enough and that’s far from the truth.

    Come on! Ajay did have many success but he was never the only reason for them. Golmaal 3 had many other actors and the franchise was already so popular. rajneeti had ranbir kapoor, katrina dn many other so you can’t say it his ajay’s success only.
    even once upon a time in mumbai had other actors but still it was the story that became a hit. songs were a good and then but the plot was the very main deal and Presh rawal and his comedy led to the succes of Athithi tum kab jaoge and other then that No other film went a hit.
    2011 was a better year for ajay really cause at least Singham can be said Ajay’s film all the way.

    khans act sensibly and release 1 or 2 films a year so even if their films are not that good and watchers don’t like them, their next film would be a hit as nobody would remember how bad their films were. and sensibly speaking who in the hell tells ajay to do so many films in a year. I mean it’s not like the audience is dieing to see him.

  • if ajay had 15 flops from 2007 then what about salman khan movies Salaam-e-Ishq, Marigold: An Adventure in India,God Tussi Great Ho,Heroes,Yuvvraaj,Main Aurr Mrs Khanna,London Dreams,Veer

  • Salman and Ajay are box office Grossers. Both are in contract with Star India worth 400+ crore which no other stars have ever got. So kal ka sab boolgaya aaj sab yadh rakengey aur bavishyu ki aur badaha hain hindustan ki Cenima. Hip Hip Hurry to Sallu and Ajay. Hum dil de chuke sanam aur London Dreams dhono achha cenima tha par London Dreams chala nehien. Phir se dhono ek cinema karo yaro. Bollywood badsha Sallu aur Ajay.

  • Except 3 idiots none of the movies deserve a 100 crore. Speaks a lot about our audience standards and what we like to watch.
    Ajay D did a lot of good work earlier, then he felt he just wanted to make some money, he paired with Rohit S and made a few very down right shit; and we audience made those movies into 100 crore hits.

  • I don ‘t think that rowdy rathore is one of the best mirchi action film but in the south it was took well and better than the hindi remake.
