Most Number of 1000 Crore Films: Which Superstar Leads?

The mark of Rs. 500 crores used to be normal for the Bollywood box office. However, the trend has changed with the arrival of larger-than-life films and big-scale entertainment. Amid all this, a few titles have easily managed to touch the level of Rs. 1000 crores.

As of now, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Prabhas are leading this list. SRK had a fantastic start in 2023 with Pathaan, followed by Jawan in the same year, and both films created records in terms of opening-day collections and ended their theatrical runs with numbers of more than Rs. 1000 crores.

People lost interest in Ranveer Singh after the failures of three films. While Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani brought him into the spotlight, Dhurandhar 1 and 2 proved that he can be a perfect fit for spy thrillers with a dark theme. Apart from collecting Rs. 1000 crores, both films changed the choices of the audience in terms of watching movies on the big screen.

Prabhas managed to touch this mark years ago with Baahubali 2. The cliffhanger ending of the first part specifically contributed to attracting the masses in 2017. Seven years later, he created the record once again with Kalki 2898 AD.

Apart from these three superstars, Allu Arjun is also on the list with Pushpa 2. Then there is Yash, who delivered the same numbers with KGF Chapter 2, followed by Ram Charan, who created records with RRR. Ranbir Kapoor did the same with Ramayana now, alongside Aamir Khan with Dangal.

The industry now eagerly awaits to see who will be the next to take a spot on this list. Considering the current situation, Ramayana is expected to collect Rs. 1000 crores by the end of the second Friday.

Shah Rukh Khan’s King also has the potential, as the superstar is returning to the big screen after a gap of three years, though competition from Avengers: Doomsday will be challenging. The promotional materials have already created a lot of buzz. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War can also achieve this, as the director is using the stardom of three popular actors to the best extent. The delays have already helped the film stay in the headlines.

Trade experts reacted by saying that the teaser and trailer decide the fate of a film at the box office. In case the three movies are aiming for the Rs. 1000-crore mark, they have to fulfil the expectations of the audience and deliver entertainment from the beginning until the end.

All three are arriving within a small gap, and after them, there are other films like Raaka, Dragon, Salaar 2, and more that might create bigger records. Nothing can be predicted for now until the glimpses are released and advance bookings are opened. Let’s wait and see what happens.
