What is Koimoi Directors’ Ranking?
For those who aren’t aware, in Koimoi Directors’ Power Index, aka Directors’ Ranking, we rank directors on the basis of their films in coveted box office clubs. For example, 100 points for a film in a 100-crore club, 200 points for a film in a 200-crore club, and so on. For each film in the top 10 grossers overseas, 50 points are given.
Vikas Bahl’s current status in Directors’ Ranking
Earlier, Vikas Bahl only had one 100-crore net grosser in the form of Hrithik Roshan‘s Super 30 and was placed in the 43rd position, below Aanand L. Rai. Now, with Shaitaan crossing the 100 crore mark, the filmmaker has been credited with 100 points, thus pushing his overall tally to 200.
With a total of 200 points, Vikas has witnessed a big jump of 10 places, and he has moved from 43rd position to 33rd position, getting placed below Prabhu Deva. In the meantime, he surpassed filmmakers like AR Murugadoss, Shankar, and Amar Kaushik. The Shaitaan director has been placed higher than Luv Ranjan because his highest-grossing film, Super 30 (146.10 crores), is ahead of Luv’s highest-grossing film, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (146 crores), in terms of collection.
On the other side, Prabhu Deva is placed higher than Vikas Bahl because his higher-grossing film, Dabangg 3, has a net collection of 150 crores. Let’s see if Shaitaan crosses 150 crores at the Indian box office, as it will take Vikas ahead in the Directors’ Ranking.
