5 Superstars who managed to earn 1000cr at box office

The Indian film industry has seen a rise in audience feedback as well as critical acclaim in the last 5 years. A decade ago, it was difficult to imagine a number like Rs 500cr at the box office but now our films have gone past the mark of Rs 1000 cr.

All these movies were of different genres but were able to gather a diverse audience in the market due to the excellence of craftsmanship. The beginning of the Pan-Indian film era has also been a reason for these movies to have a large audience and gain huge profit margins at the box office. Also, thanks to some iconic superstars who have left an indelible impact on the film industry, captivating audiences worldwide with their unparalleled charisma and talent.

Here are 5 Indian films featuring 6 of India’s biggest superstars who are a part of the RS 1000 cr club:
