Bollywood Actors with 100 crore hits

Salman Khan 100 crore movies

Dabangg 2

Dabangg (2010): It was the first Salman Khan starrer and only the 3rd Hindi film to cross the 100 crore mark. Chulbul Pandey charmed the audience with his on-screen charisma, as Dabangg proved to be a landmark film in Salman’s career. He has never looked back since!

Ready (2011): A non-holiday release that did 100 crore business in less than 14 days. Directed by Anees Bazmee, Ready released soon after the IPL and was one of the biggest hits of the year.

Bodyguard (2011): Salman + EID + Action = 100 crores before the trade could blink. The film joined the coveted ‘club’ in less than a week, which is a record that only Salman has managed to better.

Ek Tha Tiger (2012): Same old story, Salman – EID – Action – first release in a year – 100 crores in 6 days. ETT also starring Katrina Kaif fell just a few crores short of the 200 crore mark.

Dabangg 2 (2012): The sequel to the superstar’s most loved film, Salman made a grand return as Chulbul Pandey with Arbaaz Khan replacing Abhinav Kashyap as director. The film wasn’t ‘record-breaking’ as expected, but way ahead of other films in 2012 (except ETT of course)

Total 100 crore hits for Salman: 5 (one non-holiday)

Shahrukh Khan 100 crore movies

Shahrukh Khan

Ra One (2011): SRK was late to join ‘club’, but his much-hyped superhero outing in Ra One ensured that the ‘global superstar’ had a 100 crore hit in just 11 days after the film’s release.

Don 2 (2011): A Farhan Akhtar film that was only targeted at the multiplex audience and yet managed 100 crores in 16 days. It remains the second biggest multiplex hit after Barfi. Apart from SRK, Don 2 also featured Priyanka Chopra.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012): Yash Chopra’s last film as director was received with a mixed response from both critics and audiences. The film was outstanding in the overseas market, and even with stiff competition from Son Of Sardar, the eternal YRF romance starring SRK, Katrina and Anushka took 20 days to cross 100 crores. Some say Shahrukh Khan is going through a lean patch, but all his 3 release in the last couple of years have done business of 200 crores+ worldwide.

Total 100 crore hits for SRK: 3

Ajay Devgn 100 crore movies

Ajay Devgn

Golmaal 3 (2010) – A multi-starrer directed by Rohit Shetty that released during the festive season of Diwali. The comedy film opened well and did good business at both single-screens and multiplexes.

Bol Bachchan (2012) – Yet another Rohit Shetty film that took more than 45 days to cross 100 crores at the box office. The critics thrashed the film, but Rohit and Ajay were laughing all the way to the bank. The film also won Abhishek Bachchan several awards for Best Actor in a comic role.

Son Of Sardar (2012): If the official figures are to be believed, Son Of Sardar was a 100 crore hit. Amidst controversy and negativity both within and outside the industry, SOS released against Jab Tak Hai Jaan during Diwali. Despite being a smaller film, with a lesser starcast, it did reasonably well at the box office.

Total 100 crore hits for Ajay: 3 (one non-holiday). Please note, Rohit Shetty has confirmed that Singham did not do 100 crores of business.

Aamir Khan 100 crores movies

Aamir Khan

Ghajini (2008) – He did what looked ‘impossible’ back then – Ghajini was the first 100 crore hit in Bollywood. Aamir was single-handedly responsible for bringing back the single-screen audience, who we now call the ‘masses’, back to theatres when they were on the verge of shutting down. For good or for bad, Aamir was also responsible for introducing the trend of south remakes.

3 Idiots (2009) – One of the biggest hits in the history of Indian cinema, 3 Idiots was the first and only film that did 200 crores at the domestic box office. It’s a record that hasn’t been broken in the last 3 years.

Total 100 crore hits for Aamir: 2

Akshay Kumar 100 crore movies

Akshay Kumar

Housefull 2 (2012): Was Akshay’s first film into the 100 crore club. The Sajid Khan film was a multi-starrer with 12 actors sharing screen-space, Akshay, quite obviously, was the only ‘superstar’.

Rowdy Rathore (2012): An action masala film, directed by Prabhu Deva, Rowdy Rathore was a remake of a Telugu hit with the same title. The film is the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar’s career.

Total 100 crore hits for Akshay: 2 (both non-holiday)

Hrithik Roshan 100 crore movies

Hrithik Roshan

Agneepath (2012) – Like SRK, Hrithik too was a late entrant into the 100 crore club. Agneepath opened to a record-breaking response on republic day and crossed 100 crores in just 11 days.

Total 100 crore hits for Hrithik: 1

Ranbir Kapoor 100 crores movies

Barfi

Barfi (2012) – Not many expected a 100 crore hit out of Barfi. In fact, even after the film collected Rs 58 crores in it’s first week, there were quite a few exhibitors and trade analysts who ridiculed the article (read) that we published. But the Anurag Basu directed film was carrying fantastic word-of-mouth publicity which helped the film join the club 17 days after release.

Total 100 crore hit for Ranbir: 1 (non-holiday)

  • well 100 crs is no longer a benchmark for bollywood films. almost every other film with an A-list star is doing 100 crs.
    Frankly a film with an A-lister, if liked has the potential to collect 170-180 crs & even more. So, judging a film by this 100 crore tag is not fair. A film like Kahaani or Vicky Donor may not have done 100 crs, but the box-office trending shows they were much more liked.
    so its high time people stop judging the films by this 100 cr tag.

  • one thing i noticed in the article that one “super-star” has crossed 100 crs only in the festive season.

    well true starpower is proved when a movie becomes a big hit in a normal release (non-festive) and if ur film releases in festive season it should do huge business & not struggle to cross 100 crs.

  • Amir has highest stardom amng all..1st movie ghajini…wel his movie 3 idiots nt only got money,but is fav movie of many peple

  • Of all the 100 crore films only rowdy rathore, ek tha tiger, dabangg, ghajini, agneepath, don 2, barfi & 3 idiots are worthy of the 100 crore club! All the others are just crap! ETT & RR though mindless masala films deserves entry into the club for roaring business.

  • I want Salman to do an entirely different kind of movie be a suspence thriller or romantic or a negative role or any other genre other than action- comedy.And then if his film grosses 100 cr,i will salute him.

  • Akshay is the only superstar with both 100 cr hit in non-holiday period.. Ajay will make it 4 with Himmatwala.

    Akshay will make it 3 or 4 with Boss and OUATIM2

    Aamir 3 with Dhoom 3

    Hrithik 2 with Krrish 3

    Salman 6 with Mental

    Shahrukh 4 with Chennai Express

    Noone else this year, Besharam has a chance.

  • May be this year Emraan Hashmi can enter this club with Ek Thi Daayan,looks a very interesting movie.
    And also John Abraham(dont underestimate him) can join with Shootout at wadala if the film gets good opening with positive word of mouth,the trailer is exciting!!

  • Well said Manya Surve! Ek Thi Daayan may not have a great chance, but Shootout At Wadala is looking great. It has a good chance of doing well at both single screens and multiplexes. Could be a surprise hit and push John into the top league.

    John can be a action hero, he is only 40.. so next 2 or 3 years will be crucial for him. If one or two films do well, he could even go on to be a superstar.

  • Only salman and shahrukh are maintaning 100 crores in every movie even Aamir khan failed to do, every1 always talked about 3 idiots Aamir bla bla bla bla, 3 idiots was master piece so did it not only salman and shahrukh are crowed puller

  • For those who are saying collections does not matter? Then i would like to ask if audience are paying to watch n makes a movie Blockbuster doesn’t it mean the movie is fulfulling in some aspects if not all?

  • indicine you forgot to include – DDLJ and KKHH

    Gadar, HAHK, Sholay etc.. these were the first to enter 100 crore club

  • Some say 100 crore is no big deal.. but only 3 non-holiday releases have crossed 100 crores. That says it all, doesn’t it? Just because Salman can cross 100 in 5-6 days, doesn’t mean it’s easy for everyone.

    I am not a fan of his films, but he is in a league of his own currently.

  • The only actor to have 2 non-holiday 100 crore club. Sallu has 1 non-holiday. Srk has one non-holiday 100 cr.

  • Salman, Aamir and akkshay, my favrt heroes and only heroes with 130+ cr grossers. Sallu’s movies are perfect entertainers, aamirs movies have great storyline. And akshay’s acting is good and also his actions.

  • Beta Sajid itne overconfident mat ho,3filmein Akshay hi vajah se hit ho gyi to tum great director nahi ban gye ho.
    Mark my words:
    Himmatwala will not gross 100 crs and i will believe in BOI figures not in your false official figures which you declare for getting place in 100cr club.
    And you have said in an event that it will be in top 3 grossers of the year,do you remember it.

  • rr is non holiday highest grosser
    can anyone cross this releasing their movie on normal day
    even ranbir has nonholiday 100cr grosser
    akki will break all the records this august

  • corrections
    ek tha tiger was a independence day release not eid release
    rowdy rathore name telugu is vikramarkudu,not with same title

  • 100 crore list is a thing of past now bcoz it started way back in 2008 and its 2013 now and even the latecomers like Srk and Ranbir are in this list now so this year everyone should concentrate on their 1st 150 crore+ movie except Aamir khan and Salman khan bcoz these 2 will concentrate on their 2nd 150 crore+ movie respectively.
