With Sanju, Bollywood got its seventh member in the Rs 3 billion net (after tax) box office collection club. While the highest Hindi language grosser continues to be the Hindi version of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) at Rs 5.11 billion, the Rs 3 billion club has been growing rapidly over the past few years.

The first film to cross the Rs 3 billion mark was Aamir Khan’s PK in 2014
Since then, Bollywood has seen at least one Rs 3 billion grosser every year
Of the seven films to have crossed the mark, five have come in the past 2.5 years
While Shah Rukh Khan continues to be called The King of Bollywood, he is yet to mark his presence in the club. The same goes for Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar
Aamir and Salman Khan dominate the Rs 3 billion collection list with five of the seven films featuring either as the lead. Aamir has two films on the list – Dangal and PK, while Salman has three – Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai
