Bollywood's 200 Crore Club
In August this year, we saw Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone going all guns blazing with Chennai Express.
While the film went on to become one of the biggest hits crossing the
200 crore barrier, it was soon followed by Krrish 3 becoming the next
entrant into the club.
In this edition of Box Office Report Card, we take a look at the films that have managed to break the barrier of Rs. 200 crore. In a comparative analysis we pit the cast, director and of course the three films to break this mark against each other.
Interestingly, while Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots that released in Christmas in 2009 took 70 days to cross the mark, SRK's film did the same in just 15 days. Krrish 3, on the other hand, took just 10 days to make it into the 200 crore club. And now, Aamir Khan starrer Dhoom 3 managed the same in under 10 days, establishing a new record of becoming the fastest film to reach the Rs. 200 crore mark.
Apart from this, below we list a few unknown factoids about the Rs. 200 cr Club members:
• Chennai Express managed to break 3 Idiots record (of entering the 200 crore club) after approximately 1267 days/181 weeks. However, Krrish 3 managed to break Chennai Express's record of entering the 200 cr club after 80 days. Aamir's Dhoom 3 followed right after breaking Krrish 3's record within 50 days.
• Aamir Khan achieved this milestone when he was 45 years old, while SRK achieved it near to his 48th birthday. However, Hrithik is the youngest actor to enter the club achieving this milestone closer to his 40th birthday. Aamir however is the only star to have two 200 crore blockbusters to his name, as of now.
• Deepika achieved this milestone at the age of 27.5 years, as compared to Kareena who achieved the milestone when she was nearly 29.5 years old. On the other hand, Priyanka, who is currently 31.34 years, becomes the oldest actress to be the part of the 200 crore club, while Katrina achieved this milestone after 30.5 years.
• Rajkumar Hirani achieved this milestone when he was 47.5 years old, while Rohit Shetty achieved it at the age of 40.5 years, while Rakesh Roshan at the of age 64 was the oldest director/producer in 200 crore club. Vijay Krishna Acharya gets this record at the age of 45.
• 3 Idiots was released in 1700+ screens, Chennai Express was released in 3500+ screens, Krrish 3 was released in 4400 screens whereas Dhoom 3 was released in 4500 screens in India.
