Once upon a time in Bollywood, joining the ₹100 crore club meant a film was a massive blockbuster. But today, with higher ticket prices and huge fan expectations, ₹100 crore has become more of a bare minimum for big stars. Still, consistency is rare — and that’s where Akshay Kumar stands out. He has just delivered his 18th film to enter the ₹100 crore club with Housefull 5, equalling Bhaijaan’s record and setting a new benchmark in Hindi cinema.

Akshay Kumar’s 100 Crore Club Films (18)

Unlike others who release 1 film every year or two, Akshay Kumar is known for his pace—sometimes doing 3–4 films in a year. Not all of them work, but his ability to consistently push films into the ₹100 crore club makes him a unique figure in Bollywood.

He mixes action, comedy, patriotism, and family drama—all while keeping audiences entertained. Despite a rough patch in 2022–2023, his 2025 comeback with Sky Force, Kesari 2, and Housefull 5 has been strong.

📌 Note: Latest earnings for 2025 films are based on early reports and trade estimates.

Salman Khan’s 100 Crore Club Films (18)

The Sultan of Bollywood has delivered 18 films in the elite ₹100 crore club. Known for his massive fan base and festive releases (especially around Eid), Salman Khan has a reputation for delivering box office blockbusters—even when the films receive mixed reviews. He has been a dominant force in Hindi cinema for over two decades, and the numbers speak for themselves.

Let’s take a look at his 18 films that crossed ₹100 crore in India.

Compared to Akshay, Salman delivers fewer films per year, but with higher average earnings per film. His mass appeal, emotional connect, and on-screen swagger are hard to match, even when the story is average.

Ajay Devgan’s 100 Crore Club Films (16)

While he may not have the same flashy fanfare as Salman or Akshay, Ajay Devgn has quietly built an impressive box office record. Known for his serious roles, strong screen presence, and versatility, he has delivered 15 films that have entered the ₹100 crore club in India.

Ajay balances mass entertainers, intense dramas, and comedy franchises (like Golmaal), and that variety has helped him stay relevant for more than two decades.

He doesn’t match Akshay’s speed or Salman’s stardom, but Ajay has found a solid formula between action, emotion, and storytelling. His 2020s have been especially successful, proving that content-rich films can still rule the box office.

Shah Rukh Khan’s 100 Crore Club Films (10)

Known globally as the “King of Bollywood,” Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) has had a career full of iconic films, romance, and stardom. While he was late to join the ₹100 crore club compared to his peers, SRK made a massive comeback in 2023, delivering two of the biggest box office hits in Bollywood history: Pathaan and Jawan.

Currently, 10 of his films have entered the ₹100 crore club in India, and he’s quickly closing the gap with others.

📌 All numbers are based on trade reports and domestic (India net) collections.

While he has fewer ₹100 crore films than Akshay (18), Salman (18), or Ajay (16), his average per film is among the highest due to mega-hits like Jawan and Pathaan.

Vijay’s 100 Crore Club Films (8)

Thalapathy Vijay is one of the biggest names in Indian cinema, especially in Tamil Nadu. Over the past decade, he has consistently delivered blockbusters that have not only performed well in the South but also made significant collections across India.

Vijay has 8 films that have entered the ₹100 crore India net club (excluding worldwide numbers). His mass appeal, dance skills, and action roles keep pulling crowds to theatres.

Vijay’s popularity continues to rise, and he’s considered the face of Tamil commercial cinema. With more pan-India projects planned, he could soon challenge Bollywood stars in terms of overall box office presence.

Hrithik Roshan’s ₹100 Crore Club Films (7)

Hrithik Roshan is often called Bollywood’s “Greek God”, not just for his looks but for his powerful performances and top-notch dancing. Though he does fewer films than most A-listers, Hrithik has managed to score big at the box office, with 7 of his films entering the ₹100 crore club in India.

He focuses on quality over quantity, and that strategy has paid off. Most of his films are event releases with high anticipation and strong collections.

Hrithik’s upcoming films, including War 2 under the YRF Spy Universe, are expected to add more ₹100 crore titles to his name soon.

Ranbir Kapoor’s ₹100 Crore Club Films (7)

Ranbir Kapoor, known for his intense performances and emotional depth, is often seen as a mix of mass and class. He may not be the most frequent ₹100 crore club member, but when he delivers a hit, it makes a big impact.

With 7 films in the ₹100 crore club, Ranbir has shown he can do it all—from romantic dramas to action spectacles and fantasy adventures.

With Animal Park (sequel to Animal) and Brahmāstra Part Two in the pipeline, Ranbir is expected to keep adding to this list in the coming years.

Prabhas’s ₹100 Crore Club Films (7)

Prabhas went from being a Telugu superstar to a nationwide icon after the massive success of Baahubali. Today, he’s one of the few actors whose films are released across India in multiple languages. His strong presence, action image, and fan base have made him a guaranteed ₹100 crore machine, especially after 2015.

With 7 films crossing ₹100 crore in India (Hindi + Telugu combined net collections), Prabhas has carved a niche in pan-India blockbusters.

📌 Kalki earnings as of June 2025 are still growing.

Even when his movies like Radhe Shyam or Adipurush received criticism, they still crossed ₹100 crore based on star power alone.

Ranveer Singh’s ₹100 Crore Club Films (7)

Ranveer Singh is known for his unmatched energy, bold fashion, and versatile acting. Whether it’s intense historical dramas or wild comedies, Ranveer brings his all to the screen. Over the years, he’s built a strong filmography with 7 films entering the ₹100 crore club in India.

His collaborations with top directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rohit Shetty, along with his bold role choices, have helped him balance both critical acclaim and commercial success.

Ranveer has become a regular box office force and is slowly building a legacy with big-brand franchises and performance-heavy roles.

Aamir Khan’s ₹100 Crore Club Films (5)

Aamir Khan, the Perfectionist is known for choosing quality over quantity. He may not have the highest number of ₹100 crore films, but his box office impact is massive. When Aamir delivers a hit, it often sets new records, changes industry trends, or gains international fame.

Despite doing very few films (sometimes with gaps of 2–3 years), Aamir has 5 Indian films that have crossed ₹100 crore net collections—many of them far beyond that mark.

Even if Aamir doesn’t appear often, his box office contribution per film is arguably the highest average among Indian actors. And now, Aamir Khan is set to return to the big screen this month with Sitaare Zameen Par, a film that is already generating buzz and could break all records.

Conclusion

In today’s Bollywood, entering the ₹100 crore club is often seen as a symbol of success. But the truth is, great cinema isn’t always measured by numbers. There are many films that didn’t cross ₹100 crore, yet went on to become cultural icons and are still loved by millions of Indians.

Take classics like Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, and Bhagam Bhag—they may not have been ₹100 crore hits, but they continue to be watched and quoted even decades later. Films like Andhadhun, Queen, Masaan, and The Lunchbox proved that strong storytelling, powerful performances, and emotional connection matter far more than just ticket sales.

In the end, box office milestones are temporary, but a film’s emotional impact lasts forever. Numbers can fade—but memories don’t.
