Salman Khan Becomes the First Bollywood Actor to Give 500 CR Net Domestic in Single Year

Superstar Salman Khan could not have asked for a more. This year has undoubtedly been splendid for him.

Both the movies he has been a part of have managed to rake millions at the box office. The Kabir Khan directorial ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ struck an emotional chord with the audiences and went on to earn a whooping Rs 300.06 crores.


‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, his second release is nearing the Rs.200 crore mark in India. The Hindi version of “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo”, which released on November 12, a day after the auspicious occasion of Diwali, has collected Rs.193.22 crore after the second week of its release, read a statement.





Salman Khan has become Bollywood’s No. 1 in a category all his own – Salman has created a new segment by itself, that of Rs 500 crore club in collections achieved in a single year (2015). In short, Salman Khan has now become the first and only Bollywood actor whose films have collected Rs 500 crore in a single year at the India box office.

While the Rs 500 cr club entry is a first for Salman Khan, the actor has made huge contributions with his other movies too. Salman has been topping the box office charts regularly, in fact in 2012, Salman Khan’s two releases (Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2) had grossed approximately Rs 353 crore at the India box office, whereas in 2014, his film Jai Ho and Kick had a combined collection of approximately Rs 346 crore.
