The 100 Crore Club is a colloquial term used in the Indian film industry to denote films that achieve significant box office success. In Hindi cinema, it refers to films that have a net domestic box office collection of ₹100 crore (1 billion Indian rupees) or more after deducting entertainment tax.{{cite news |last=Nahta |first=Komal |date=31 May 2012 |title=Bollywood's 100 crore club |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/brunch/bollywood-s-100-crore-club/story-QfLp7zFAqDgXNKaJKo1KNP.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120603054117/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Brunch/Brunch-Stories/Bollywood-s-100-crore-club/Article1-864033.aspx |archive-date=3 June 2012 |access-date=1 June 2016 |work=Hindustan Times}} In contrast, in South Indian cinema, the term applies to films that gross ₹100 crore or more worldwide, without deductions for taxes. The key differences are that Hindi cinema tracks net earnings after tax deductions, while South Indian cinema considers gross earnings, and Hindi cinema focuses on domestic collections, whereas South Indian films account for worldwide collections.
By 2012, crossing ₹100 crore had become a benchmark for commercial success in Hindi cinema, with films reaching this milestone considered major hits.{{Cite news |date=18 June 2012 |title=100 crore club is just a fad: Shahid Kapoor |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/100-crore-club-is-just-a-fad-shahid-kapoor/story-0PcKJAKa3jAiaiezagvOWJ.html |access-date=29 December 2013 |work=Hindustan Times |agency=PTI}}{{cite book |last=Ganti |first=Tejaswini |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2GAdCp1VAf0C&pg=PA66 |title=Bollywood: A Guidebook to Popular Hindi Cinema |publisher=Routledge |year=2013 |isbn=9781136849299 |page=66}} Actors Salman Khan (17) and Akshay Kumar (16) hold the most entries in the club.

The 100 Crore Club emerged more than a decade later, when the Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini (2008) was released and became the first Hindi film to earn {{INR|100 crore}} net at the box office, soon after which the term "100 Crore Club" was coined.{{cite news|title=The 100-crore Club|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/The-100-crore-Club/articleshow/3993923.cms|work=The Times of India|date=18 January 2009}} Overseas, the first Indian film to gross {{INR}}100 crore in international markets was the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-starrer My Name is Khan (2010),{{cite news |last=Hooli |first=Shekhar |title=Baahubali 2 overseas box office collection: Rajamouli's film beats Chennai Express, Kabali's lifetime record in 1st weekend |url=http://www.ibtimes.co.in/baahubali-2-overseas-box-office-collection-rajamoulis-film-beats-chennai-express-kabalis-725036 |work=International Business Times |date=1 May 2017 |language=en}} followed by 3 Idiots in 2011.{{cite news |last=Chumbhale |first=Ameya |title=3 Idiots wins over Chinese, collects Rs 11 crore in two weeks |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/media/entertainment/3-idiots-wins-over-chinese-collects-rs-11-crore-in-two-weeks/articleshow/11286751.cms |work=The Economic Times |date=29 December 2011}}{{cite web |title=Three Idiots Creates History in China |url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/boxnewsdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=3866&nCat= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107201817/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/boxnewsdetail.php?page=shownews&articleid=3866&nCat= |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 January 2012 |work=30 December 2011 |publisher=BoxOfficeIndia.Com |access-date=30 December 2011}}

The concentration on reaching the club has been criticised, with actor and producer Arshad Warsi stating, "I find this whole Rs.100 crore club very stupid.

But if we run only to achieve those figures then we will restrict ourselves as actors." On the other hand, Dibakar Banerjee, while agreeing with Kapoor about the impact on content stated, "I hope the club stays and grows to many more crores.
