1000 Crore Club
1000 Crore Club is an unofficial designation by the Indian film trade and the media, related to Indian language films that have grossed ₹1000 crore (10 billion Indian rupees) or more worldwide. It emerged in May 2017, when two Indian films crossed the ₹1,000 crore (US$140 million) milestone.[1] The Telugu-Tamil film Baahubali 2: The Conclusion became the first Indian film to gross over 1000 crore worldwide.[2] It was followed by the Aamir Khan starring Bollywood film Dangal, which is the highest grossing Indian film, expanding the club to 1700 crore,[3] 1800 crore[4] and 1900 crore,[5] before creating the ₹2,000 crore (US$280 million) club,[6] and becoming the fifth highest-grossing non-English language film of all time. The 1000 crore club was preceded by the 100 crore club.
History
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), which released on 28 April 2017,[7] became the first Indian film to cross the ₹1,000 crore (US$140 million) and ₹1,500 crore (US$210 million) marks, in May 2017, and briefly became the highest-grossing Indian film worldwide, before being overtaken by Dangal. Baahubali 2 is the highest-grossing film in India, where it has grossed ₹1,417 crore (US$200 million).[8] Overseas, it is the highest-grossing Indian film in the United States ($21 million), where it became the first Indian film to cross $20 million, as well as becoming the first Indian film to gross over $10 million in the United Arab Emirates.[9] Baahubali 2 sold an estimated 105 million tickets (10.5 crore) during its box office run, the highest footfalls for any film in India.[10][11]
Dangal (2016), following its Chinese release on 5 May 2017,[12] became the highest-grossing Indian film and fifth highest-grossing non-English language film of all time, crossing ₹2,000 crore (US$280 million) worldwide, making it the first Indian film to gross $300 million worldwide and one of the top 30 highest-grossing 2016 films (surpassing the $299.5 million gross of Alice Through the Looking Glass, starring Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska).[13] Dangal is also the highest-grossing sports film of 2017, and Disney's fourth highest-grossing film of 2017.[14]
Dangal is the first Indian film to exceed $100 million[15] and ₹1,000 crore overseas,[16] crossing ₹1,400 crore (US$190 million) in international markets, including ¥1.29 billion (US$191 million) in China[17][18] and ₹41 crore (US$5.7 million) in Taiwan.[19] Its overseas gross in China more than doubled its domestic gross of $84.4 million in India. In China, Dangal became the 16th highest-grossing film of all time, the 8th highest-grossing foreign film,[20][21] the highest-grossing non-Hollywood foreign film (surpassing Japanese anime film Your Name),[22] the leggiest box office release (cumulative gross 83 times its opening day haul,[21][23] surpassing Zootopia),[24] had the most consecutive days with a ¥10 million (US$1 million) gross (surpassing the 30 days of Transformers: Age of Extinction)[25] and $1 million gross[21] (38 days),[26] was the highest-grossing film in May 2017 (ahead of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales[27] and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2),[15] and is the year's second highest-grossing foreign film (after The Fate of the Furious).[28] In 47 days, the film had 44,445,270 admissions at the Chinese box office.[29] Aamir Khan's earnings from Dangal is estimated to be ₹300 crore (US$42 million),[30] the highest payday for a non-Hollywood actor.[31]
When adjusted for inflation, the first Indian film to gross an adjusted ₹1,000 crore was the 1960 Dilip Kumar starrer Mughal-e-Azam, which earned an estimated ₹2,000 crore in 2016 value.[n 1] Mughal-e-Azam's adjusted gross was the highest in Indian cinema for more than five decades,[32] up until Dangal surpassed it in 2017. The first Indian film to gross an adjusted ₹1,000 crore overseas was the 1982 Mithun Chakraborty starrer Disco Dancer at the Soviet box office,[n 2] which made it the highest-grossing Indian film overseas up until it was surpassed by Dangal in 2017.
