Kollywood 100 crore club

Kollywood 100 crore club


The term Kollywood 100 Crore Club refers to the highest-grossing films in Tamil cinema, specifically Kollywood films grossing at least 100 crore (INR1 billion (US$17 million)) worldwide. The term is derived from the Bollywood Hundred Crore Club. The rise of multiplex business model and digital film making in the late 2000s helped creating this elite club.[1] As of October 2013, two Tamil films are members of this club.
