Bollywood Hundred Crore Club

100 Crore Club is an unofficial designation by the Indian film trade and the media, related to Indian language films that have net ₹100 crore (1 billion Indian rupees) or more in India after deducting the entertainment tax. By 2012, the ₹100 crore (US$16 million) box office target had become "a new benchmark for a film to be declared a hit", and those affiliated with the 100 Crore Club were considered part of the "elite strata" within the Bollywood film community. It was succeeded by the Bollywood 1000 Crore Club in 2017.

The first Indian film to cross ₹100 crore worldwide was the 1982 Bollywood film Disco Dancer, directed by Babbar Subhash written by Rahi Masoom Raza, and starring Mithun Chakraborty, with over ₹90 crore grossed at the Soviet box office. The first Indian film to gross over ₹100 crore domestically in India was the 1994 Salman Khan starrer Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. The 100 Crore Club emerged more than a decade later, when the 2008 Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini became the first Indian film to net over ₹100 crore. The later Aamir Khan films 3 Idiots (2009), Dhoom 3 (2013), PK (2014) and Dangal (2016) expanded the club to 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 crore. Overseas, the first Indian film to gross ₹100 crore in international markets was 3 Idiots.
