Hindi Movies that made Rs 100 crores
A look at Hindi movies that have crossed the Rs 100 crore benchmark in their box office earnings in the recent times.
Karan Johar's Agneepath is the latest film to join the Rs 100 crore club, as it has done phenominal business at the box office since its release on Republic Day. In fact, it saw the biggest opening ever at Rs 25 crores on the day that it released.
We look at the other movies that are a part of this elite club. Media professional and industry observer Abhijit Mhamunkar lists them for us.

3 Idiots
Aamir Khan repeated the feat the next year as well, with 3 Idiots.
