Bollywood is said to be one of the biggest film industries in the world. Ever since the benchmark for determining the success of a film started relying on crossing the Rs 100-crore mark, the box office parameters changed drastically. The biggest sign of undisputed stardom is consistency and not many in the industry have been able to pull that through. However, actors like Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, Vidya Balan, among others have managed to prove that they are here to stay. From the money they earn, their clout in the industry, their ability to hold sway over the public to the power to command box office returns — these actors are doing it all.
The first quarter of 2022 can be said to belong to three heroines — Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Madhuri Dixit (in order of appearance). Alia’s Gangubai Kathiawadi crossed 100-plus crore so far at the box office. Let’s take a look at female actors who have more than three 100 crore films in their kitty:
Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone made her debut with Om Shanti Om back in 2007, and today, she is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood with seven films that have crossed the 100 Crore mark at the box office – Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Race 2, Bajirao Mastani, Goliyon Ki Leela Ram-Leela, Chennai Express, Piku, and Happy New Year.
