The term Kollywood 100 Crore Club refers to select films in Tamil cinema that grossed at least 100 crore (US$12 million) worldwide unadjusted for inflation. The term is derived from the Bollywood Hundred Crore Club. The rise of multiplex business model, digital film making and doubling of average ticket prices in single screens during 2007-13 helped creating this elite club.[1] As of November 2013, one Tamil film is a member of this elite club.
