Here’s a throwback at 5 films which achieved similar feat in the past:

Aashiqui 2 (2013) – (109 cr)

Hands down, Arijit Singh’s Tum Hi Ho deserves huge credit for making this film as popular and helping it mint an enormous sum at the box office. When Mahesh Bhatt and T-Series decided to make a sequel to Aashiqui, no one would have thought that the Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur starrer will manage to eclipse this sensational hit of 90s. The songs, romance and the chemistry between the couple helped it mint huge sum at the box office.

Vicky Donor (2012) Collection-Rs 35 cr

Debutant Ayushmaan Khurrana and Yami Gautam starrer was a sheer gem which dealt with a sensitive issue with the right humour and consideration. A Soojit Sircar helmed film, after a slow start, becaming a raging success and is regarded as one of the maker’s best.

Malamaal Weekly (2006)

This Priyadarshan film was one hilarious dark comedy which starred an ensemble cast. The unique plot and director successfully weaving different characters together in a symmetry is worth a mention. This film went on to become a huge success.

Page 3 (2005) Collection Rs 13 cr

Madhur Bhandarkar in Page 3 handled a very unconventional subject and guess what, audiences loved the film for its blunt approach. This Konkona Sen Sharma starrer tasted immense success at the box office and the return ratio for this movie was towering.

Murder (2004) Collection-22.49 cr

Erotic thriller was a genre which was untouched and directors shied away from showcasing this trait to theatre audiences. But Murder broke the entire stereotype around these films and proved that this genre has its own set of audience. Its songs were a massive hit and this paved way for one-flop-old actor Emraan Hashmi to get a foothold in the industry. It was low budget, cost-effective and made an enormous profit.
