Bollywood 300 Crore Club: 12 Hindi Movies have crossed Rs 300 Crore mark in India. Here is everything about 300 crore movies, actors, actresses, release dates and other details.

Records are meant to be broken and the same holds true in Bollywood. There was a time when earning Rs 50 Crore was a dream for Bollywood movies. The economics have changed in the last fifteen years and now the standards are high. After 100 and 200 Crore, the 300 Crore club is now the new benchmark in Bollywood. While other Bollywood actors are still dreaming of it, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are reigning kings of Bollywood’s 300 Crore club. Shah Rukh Khan remained quiet for almost a decade but made a smashing comeback with Pathaan which now becomes the fastest Bollywood movie to enter the 300 Crore club.
