Just like the much celebrated 50 crore club in
Tollywood's trade circles, Bollywood goes crazy about
the 100 crore club. So far in 2015, no film has managed
to enter the 100 crore club. In January, Akshay Kumar
and Rana starrer Baby released to great reviews and
stormed the box-office and ended up with a share of 95
crores.
Then came the Fast & Furious 7, the Hollywood's action
spectacle that ruled the box-office and became the first
film to enter the 100 crore club in 2015. The film was
released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, apart from the
English version. Even Avengers: Age of Ultron did solid
business and earned upto 73 crores.
And then came Krish's Tagore remake, Gabbar Is Back.
The film is still running in the theatres across the
country and so far, it has collected close to 80 crores
but the slackened pace at the box-office indicates that
it's impossible for the film to reach 100 crores. Here
comes Baahubali into the picture. The film is releasing
big in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi on 10th July.
Being made on a budget of nearly 150 crores, Baahubali
is turning everyone's head and is sure to open big this
summer, thanks to the heavy expectations. If the film
manages to get thumping reviews, 100 crores in Telugu
alone is a cakewalk and with Tamil and Hindi versions,
the collections might even touch 150 plus crores.
With no notable releases until July and Salman Khan's
Bajrangi Bhaijaan releasing only on the 16th July, looks
like there is no stopping for Baahubali to become the
first Indian film to enter the 100 crore club this year. If
the magnum opus indeed makes this feat happen, it will
be a proud moment for all Telugu film lovers.
