Much has been talked about 100
crores films in India and the list is ever growing with one or two films
joining the list after every alternate months. Some films like Dhoom 3, Chennai Express, Krrish 3, Kick, Singham Returns have
achieved this feat in 3-5 days. So is it really the barometer which has to be
set to determine a historic box office success? Absolutely not! 100 crores
business is passe now and one need to look at something higher like 200 crores
film in India which has been achieved by only 4 film till date (3 Idiots,Chennai
Express, Dhoom 3 and Kick).
It
will take two or three years more for a film to cross the landmark figure of
200 crores as easily as 100 crores are doing these days. So why not for
instance look at the comprehensive business of Bollywood film worldwide?
Collection coming from overseas are most often sidelined and people are hardly
aware of its significance in determining a film’s business. There was a time
when only Shah Rukh Khan film or the film being promoted on a very high scale
used to open well in overseas market, 17 SRK films in top 30 highest grossing
films in overseas market depicts the monopoly he has been enjoying in this
market for long but now many films are doing excellent business overseas adding
to the box office success of a Bollywood film.
Bollywood
saw a rapid increase in the business of films in past 5 years. Industry which
was growing at 20-30% suddenly took a leap of 50% and has further grown by 100%
in past years. This increase has also made Bollywood films do very well in
overseas market due to the tie up with foreign studios, corporate marketing and
promotions.
My Name Is Khan became the first Bollywood film to collect 100 crores at
Overseas box-office and share the elite list with Lunchbox of
being only films whose business in overseas has been more than that of in
India. Films like 3 Idiots, Chennai Express and Dhoom
3 has also crossed $20 millions at overseas market.
So
which actor rules the worldwide box office? Which actor’s performance has been
most consistent in past few years? This list will clear answer all your
questions.
According
to the box office collections of last 10 movies worldwide, the three Khans who
dominated in 90s still hold the maximum box office potential with Shah Rukh
Khan topping the list followed by Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.
Shah Rukh Khan
Much was talked about Shah Rukh Khan
and his movies not able to break records in past few years but when we look
