Bahubali 2 ends Aamir Khan’s club founding spree

S.S. Rajamouli’s ‘Bahubali 2: The Conclusion’ will become the first film (Hindi version only) to cross the 400 crore mark on Saturday. It’ll be for the first time that a non-Aamir Khan film will be crossing a ‘multiple of 100’ milestone.

Ghajini created history back in 2008 when it became the first film of all-time to cross 100 crore. 3 Idiots exceeded every expectation and raced into 200 crore territory in 2009 and PK founded the 300 crore club in 2014.

Dhoom 3 and Dangal were the first films to cross 250 crore and 350 crore respectively.

Now, Bahubali 2, after several years of Aamir Khan’s dominance, will finally end his ‘club founding spree’. The Hindi version of the magnum-opus will break open the ‘400 crore club’ for the very first time and is certain to race past 450 crore. Even a 500 crore total is well within reach for arguably the greatest cinematic experience the country has ever seen.
