Movies earing 100 crores plus doesn’t guarantee a Hit or Super Hit verdict based on our parameters. The cost of the movie and distributor/ exhibitor share plays important role in giving a Hit Status. A movie until it collects double the cost in the Indian Box Office will not be a Hit in Koimoi Box Office Verdict Page.
