Bollywood's films that crossed Rs 100-crore mark in 2016
Most of the big Bollywood releases of the year are weighed in terms of their net box office collection, both by the audience and the trade pundits.
A film's initial box office run determines the length of its life in the multiplexes rather than the novelty of the subject or the innovative approach of the director.
Established superstars keep churning out similar films every year and refrain from experimenting with their characters. This year, Bollywood was no different. But while some films made money, some of those that flopped include many which released after the government demonetized Rs 500 and Rs 1000 bank notes in November, triggering a cash crunch.
Still, 8 films crossed the Rs 100-crore mark in 2016. -
Sultan
A lot has been said and written about Salman Khan's charisma at the box office and he just keeps upping his game with every film. It's debatable whether the content of his films has become better, but his numbers are always staggering. With much accolades to Anushka Sharma for her role as Aarfa, this movie is the highest grosser in the year 2016. In a year when no other Hindi film garnered even Rs 200 crore, Sultan earned more than Rs 300 crore.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
Apart from Anurag Kashyap's Udta Punjab, Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil turned out to be the most controversial film of the year. Ae Dil Hai Mushkil saw its ups and down, but the Anushka and Ranbir starrer proved to be a box office success. Eventually, all paid in the producer's favor when it ended up making Rs 112.39 cr. ADHM is number 5 in the list.
