Mumbai: With Indian cinema celebrating its 100 years in 2013, Bollywood found newcomers challenging the reign of superstars in the 100 crore club even as small-budget but content driven films found acceptance at the box office.
Shah Rukh Khan and his star power led the march to the 100 crore club with his ‘Chennai Express' which became the first film of the year to surpass the old standard by earning more than 200 crores at the box office.
The 100 crore club found new members in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Farhan Akhtar-starrer biopic ‘ Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', Hrithik Roshan's ‘Krrish 3', Ranbir Kapoor's ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani', Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone starrer Sanjay Leela Bhansali film ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela' and the over-performing adult comedy ‘Grand Masti', whose success surprised even its makers.
