2016 Bollywood Report Card: 7 Movies That Entered The 100 crore Club This Year

Let's face it: 2016 was a pretty mediocre year for Bollywood. Firstly, there weren't many outstanding films to begin with. And if a truly good movie released, it didn't find an audience, or it was pummelled by Hollywood releases at the box office. 

This resulted in more disappointment for true Bollywood fans who expected more from their favourite medium of entertainment. Also, it was disappointing for the filmmakers whose films didn't find an audience and had to incur heavy losses. (For some things were even worse as some studios shut down due to the consistent losses.)
