Hrithik Roshan Enters 100 Crore Club After Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan & Aamir
- Hrithik Roshan is the fifth Bollywood hero to enter the 100 crore club.
One has heard of mass hysteria. But what one saw in the case of Karan Johar’s Agneepath on the opening day – Thursday, January 26 – was mass and class hysteria. The public, belonging to any and every social strata, seemed to have gone mad over the remake of Agneepath of 1990. In spite of multiplexes screening the new Agneepath in upto 15 and 20 shows a day, it recorded full houses throughout the day or almost so! The opening day record held by Bodyguard so far was broken, that too, by a fair margin. As against the first day’s collection of Rs. 21.5 crore in the case of Salman Khan’s Bodyguard, Agneepath collected Rs. 23 crore nett from all-India!
With this, it is a foregone conclusion that Hrithik Roshan will become the fifth hero to join the Rs. 100-crore club because it shouldn’t be long before Agneepath touches the magical figure of Rs. 100 crore. So far, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan are the only heroes whose films have crossed the century mark. Aamir has two 100-crore films to his credit – Ghajini and the all-time blockbuster, 3 Idiots. Salman made it to the club with Dabangg and fortified his position with two more 100-crore films last year, viz. Ready and his and last year’s biggest, Bodyguard. Shah Rukh gained entry into the club with Ra.One and quickly followed it up with Don 2. Ajay Devgan’s solo blockbuster, Singham, made it to the 100-crore club last year but before that, his multi-starrer, Golmaal 3, had also crossed the coveted figure.
No doubt, Sanjay Dutt would also have to be given credit for Agneepath reaching the 100-crore mark in the days to come, but the fact remains that he plays a villain in it and the film is, after all, a solo-hero film and so, cheers to Hrithik Roshan for that! While on Dutt, it must be mentioned that his get-up and performance are winning the highest praise for him from classes and masses alike. Probably, Sanjay Dutt mustn’t have got so much adulation for his villainy even in Khal-nayak, another landmark film in which he played the evil man for the first time.

best example of paid journalism.even Tees maar khan & Blue got gr8 openng,ev 1 knows wat happnd later..
agree but agneepath is not mindless…it had a clear story..bit bloody..but by watching trailers u must hv guessed it…direction was very good..climax eve better
Hi u r truly mistaken with hrithik , as due to Sanjay dutt presense the film is entering 100 crore club, as sanjay well associated with Salman Khan.
LOL you idiot.. you think it was because of sanjay this movie was a hit? haha! only reason sallu and sanju are associated is in underworld
The first thing u need to do is go and take the shock treatment that you missed yesterday
Aisa tha toh rascal bhi Hit hoti, which had both sanjay and Ajay… So think before u speak
Totally Bakwas Movie i want my money back
ha ha,u fckind kid.it`s nt 4 hrithik,its all bcoz sanju,his scary looks made this happen,hrithik is lolz n abnormal kid
Ek dam bakwaas movie hai yaar sara republic day ka maza kharab kar diya
awesome. can’t wait to see
only deserving movies in 1oo crore list are 3 idiots and don 2 ……. it si shame to see dull movie like ready and bodyguard in this list though i admire dabangg …….
Cant understand how can you tell the fate of a movie just on its first day.. 100 crores ..Cant you be modest to say it is Expected to make 100 crores. It would have not touched 100% even 20 crores on first day had the review by Taran Adarsh, which was suprisingly published before friday…as majority of the bollywood junta are dumb ass for whom movie watching is review driven and the other set of dumb ass who enjoy desi mindless movies. I prefered his ZNMD which was for me the movie of 2011…but this was not meant to be for the dumb mass
wil agnt vinod , and rowdy rathore enter d 100 club mark
NO way……………
impossible.
i can bet both not touch 100 cr. club
dono ka mila ke bhi 100 crore nhi banega
I don’t know how these kind of films crossed 100 crore. These all movies are total Bakwas…
