6 Movies Which Don't Deserve To Be In The 200 Crore Club in Bollywood

Ever since Aamir Khan's Ghajini broke the 100 Crore barrier in 2008, the criteria for a film becoming a hit at the box-office automatically translates to whether it has collected 100 Crores at the box-office or not. A decade later, in 2018, a number of films have achieved the feat since then and some of them have even crossed the 200 Crore and 300 Crore barrier. Baahubali 2 (the Hindi version) broke all the records in 2017 when it collected more than 500 Crore at the box-office.

No prizes for guessing that almost all of these films have been delivered by the Khans and every new release of theirs is expected to earn in record numbers. Still, if we look closely at these films, some of them don't deserve to be in the coveted 200 Crore club. They reached that barrier only because of the star power and the hype surrounding them. They are not necessarily bad, but they are not that good either, here are 6 films which don't deserve to be in the 200 Crore club:

Dhoom 3: The Vijay Krishna Acharya directorial at the time of its release, became the most successful Bollywood film of all time despite being lambasted by the critics and the fans of Hollywood films. The film ripped off scenes from a number of popular Hollywood films but it still didn't affect its box-office performance. It ended up earning 280 Crores which is a tad too much. 

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo: The Salman Khan starrer had the highest opening weekend thanks to Diwali Holidays but the film received poor reviews from critics as well as the audiences. The major plot holes, bad CGI along with hammy acting from supporting characters didn't affect the film's box-office though. It earned 207 Crores domestically.

Happy New Year: The SRK starrer ensemble film still holds the record for the highest opening day for any Bollywood film. The film received mixed to negative reviews and only worked because of its star-power as its story and acting don't make it a 200 Crore candidate.

Kick: The Salman Khan starrer was criticised for copying scenes from popular Hollywood films as well as for Nawazuddin Siddiqui's over the top acting. The film earned 233 Crores in its entire run and it seems like Salman's star power managed to bring a number of people to the theatres.

Krrish 3: The Hrithik Roshan starrer seemed like a mixture of all the Hollywood superhero, sci-fi and action films and while the film received negative reviews from the critics, it laughed its way to the bank by raking in 240 Crores in India.

Golmaal Again: The Rohit Shetty directorial is the most surprising member of this club as nobody expected it to gross 200 Crores but this is exactly what the film did and even the cast & crew members of the film were surprised. Ajay Devgn also famously claimed that they (Golmaal team) still don't know why Golmaal works. The film earned 205.7 Crores in India.
