When it comes to the coveted “Rs 100 Crore Club,” superstar Salman Khan has the largest number of Rs1bn films.
It’s no surprise that the “Dabangg” Khan has a huge fan following and his typically Bollywood masala flicks are loved by the masses who gather in huge numbers to watch the superstar do what he does best on screen - entertain.
Salman Khaan’s contemporaries Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have also made it to the “Rs 100 Crore Club.” Aamir Khan has had three films that have reached Rs1bn – “Ghajini,” “3 Idiots” and his last release “Dhoom 3.” Shah Rukh Khan on the other hand has had four Rs1bn films – “Don 2,” “RA One,” “Jab Tak Hain Jaan” and “Chennai Express.”
But Salman Khan remains untouchable at the top of the list with seven Rs1bn films under his belt – “Dabangg,” “Dabangg 2,” “Ready,” “Bodyguard,” “Ek Tha Tiger,” “Jai Ho” and now Sajid Nadiadwala’s directorial debut “Kick.”
Salman Khan chooses to release his films on the festival of Eid, which has always proved to be not just lucky for Salman, but extremely lucrative.
“Kick,” also starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui minted a whopping Rs500m in two days of its release. It opened to mixed response from critics but earned nearly Rs270m on the opening day. The first collection beat all of Salman’s previous records except “Ek Tha Tiger” (Rs329m). “Kick” collected a whopping Rs830m in its opening weekend. However, it was unable to break the record of – “Ek Tha Tiger” and “Bodyguard.”
