A still from Raja Harishchandra

The Hindi film industry, popularly christened as Bollywood, is one of the largest film production centers in the world. The first feature film produced in India was the Dadasaheb Phalke directed silent black-and-white film Raja Harishchandra, which was released in 1913.[1] With time, the industry expanded and the number of films produced kept increasing throughout the 1920s and 1930s. With expansion, newer technologies were introduced including the use of sound and later color. Alam Ara was India's first sound film, while Kisan Kanya was India's first color film (incidentally, both are directed by the same person).[2] Introduction of these technologies significantly shaped the style of Indian film-making, as the advent of sound popularized musicals and song-and-dance sequences, making them an integral part of Indian films. The industry did face problems during the 1930s because of independence movements and international wars.[3] The 1940s, 1950s and 1960s are often called the "golden years" of Bollywood. Films received much critical appreciation all over the world. Several notable cinematic figures such as Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor and Bimal Roy were active during these years and were instrumental in developing the industry. Mehboob Khan's Mother India received universal acclaim and became India's first feature film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film; till date, it is one of only three Bollywood films (Salaam Bombay! and Lagaan) to share that honor. Other Bollywood films from the era were screened in major film festivals across the world, and some of them won major prizes as well. Parallel cinema also emerged during this time, and gained momentum later on after a "hibernation" phase.

Beginning with the 1940s, Bollywood films also saw major commercial success, and several box office milestones were breached. As the popularity of cinema spread, theatrical revenue kept increasing. The 1943 Gyan Mukherjee-directed Kismet became the first Bollywood film to cross the ₹1 crore mark. Subsequently, more films breached the ₹1 crore mark until Shree 420 breached the ₹2 crore mark for the first time. Beginning with the 1960s and particularly 1970s, Bollywood films achieved major commercial success more regularly, and the revenue earned multiplied manifold throughout this period (a trend that continued into the 1990s); Sholay (1975) earned triple the amount that the previous record-holder Mughal-e-Azam (1960) earned, while Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) more than quadrupled Sholay's record. Post the "dark phase" of the 1980s, business increased tremendously as is visible from the major success of films like Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.

Initially, the success of a film was determined by box office longevity than revenue. However, due to increasing competition from television and the threat of piracy, and later the advent of alternative media, longevity of films decreased drastically and revenue became the focus of success. The revenue-earning pattern has become increasingly front-loaded over the years, and now most films depend only on first weekend/first week revenue to decide the fate of a film, a trend that has received widespread criticism from industry experts. This trend was further intensified after the multiplex boom in India following liberalization, which caused ticket prices and theatrical screening scope to increase. Since 2008, Bollywood films have started breaching the ₹100 crore mark consistently; Ghajini was the first Bollywood film to cross the mark. Considered a turning point in Bollywood, multiple films have breached that mark since then. Beginning with the 2000s (decade) and particularly 2010s, the release size and marketing efforts have increased rapidly to the extent that films can achieve the ₹100 crore mark in a single week, and the single-day full-capacity revenue can be ₹30 crore. Franchises have witnessed increasing popularity and several highly popular franchises such as Dhoom and Golmaal saw great success at the box office; additionally, each sequel has earned more than the previous film, making franchises a lucrative business proposal.

Below is a set of lists which track the records for highest-grossing films in India (by net figures, i.e. after tax reduction), highest opening days, highest opening weeks and also other specific lists. Since box office figures in India are not tracked strictly, figures from Box Office India are utilised; only extracts of lists are visible here for some of the lists due to copyright concerns. The original list showed the Top 30 films according to net revenue earned in India.

The following is a non-definitive list of the all-time highest-grossing Bollywood films, by Real versus nominal value instead for inflation, it tends to favour films in more recent years, with all but two of the films in the top 30 being released after 2000. Films released prior to 1994 do not appear in the list because inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends make direct comparisons inaccurate. Figures are given in Indian rupees.[13]

Speed to the 100 Crore Nett Mark in India

Salman Khan is one of the four actors, who have starred in movies grossing ₹200 crore (US$24 million) worldwide. Five films starring Salman Khan have grossed ₹100 crore (US$12 million) at the Indian box-office, making him one of the most commercially successful actors in India.[16]
Kareena Kapoor has starred as the female lead in films grossing ₹200 crore (US$24 million)in India, ₹200 crore (US$24 million) worldwide and the ₹100 crore (US$12 million) in India.

Bollywood's 100 crore club includes Bollywood films earning ₹100 crore (US$12 million) at the Indian box office, after excluding entertainment tax into account.As of December 2012, 18 films have made it to the ₹100 crore (US$12 million) club.[17] [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Aamir Khan's film Ghajini was the first Bollywood film to cross the 100 crore net collections mark and create this exclusive club, thus marking Aamir and debutant Asin's first 100 crore film.[30] Khan followed that up with 3 Idiots which became the second film to enter this club and Kareena Kapoor's first film to enter the club, making Kapoor, the second actress to enter the club.[31] Salman Khan became the second actor to enter with Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard. Ready became Asin's second 100 crore film. In fact Salman Khan's Bodyguard entered this club the fastest in just 7 days of release. Ajay Devgn was the third actor to enter this league with Golmaal 3. Kareena Kapoor's next two 100 crore films were Golmaal 3 and Ready. Shahrukh Khan managed to get a foothold in this league in late 2011 with Ra.One followed by Don 2. Ra.One became Arjun Rampal's first and Kareena Kapoor's fourth film to cross 100 crore club. Priyanka Chopra became the third actress to enter the club with Don 2 In 2012, Hrithik Roshan entered with Agneepath, making Chopra's second film to cross 100 crore and Akshay Kumar entered with Housefull 2, making Asin's third 100 crore film.[32][33] In 2012 Salman Khan once again marked the club with Ek Tha Tiger just in 5 days breaking all records including his own record set by Bodyguard. Katrina Kaif entered the club with Ek Tha Tiger, becoming the fourth actress. In 2012 Ranbir Kapoor entered the club with his film Barfi!. This net collection does not include entertainment tax in the various Indian states.[34][35] What's the significance of the number? For the trade, it's reassuring how robust the simple, old world box-office collection can be if the mix is right. First, it's earnings after paying entertainment tax that can be as high as 30%. Second, the money made overseas is over and above this. Third, it does not take into account other revenue streams that flow in from satellite rights, music and digital.[36][37][38][39][40] Domestic net gross of Singham and Son of Sardaar are disputed. According to Box Office India, Singham nett grossed ₹97.75 crore (US$12 million) domestically.[41][42] and Son of Sardaar nett.grossed ₹88.50 crore (US$11 million) in four weeks.[43]
