The 100 crore club has become the standard in Bollywood these days, but not every filmmaker is a member. The term “100 Crore Club” was coined shortly after Ghajini (2008), starring Asin Thottumkal and Aamir Khan which became the first Indian film to gross over $100 crore domestically. In this post, we’ll explore some of the directors whose first movie entered the 100 crore club.

The Indian cinema trade and media have used the term “100 Crore Club” to refer to the films that have grossed at least Rs. 100 crore (1 billion Indian rupees) in India after deducting the entertainment tax. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994), starring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, was the first Indian film to make over $100 crore domestically, and it was also the first to gross over $200 crore internationally.
