The Aamir Khan starrer Dhoom 3 that released towards the end of 2013 generated massive collections at the box-office, breaking multiple records. While we at Bollywood Hungama take a look at how each film fares at the box-office in comparison to the previous releases, Aamir Khan threw open yet another comparative metric.
According to Aamir Khan, "To measure a film's success, you need to see the weekend figures and compare it with the total collection. Like 3 Idiots did Rs. 40 crores on the weekend and the total business was Rs. 202 crores, so the weekend multiplied by 5, is the behavior of the film which is very good. That shows people have gone again and again to see the film. Jo film teen din mein 100 crore karein aur total mein 200 crore karein, then that film is not good."
In this report while comparing the quality of movies, we introduce a Metric - Weekend to Lifetime Multiple for the 100 crore club. According to this comparison, a higher multiple indicates strong content and therefore longevity at cinemas, which in turn signifies footfalls being attracted in subsequent weeks.
From this analysis, the recent release Bajirao Mastani featuring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra ranks third overtaking Aamir Khan's PK, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Krrish 3, Barfi and others. On the other hand, the Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon starrer Dilwale that featured massive opening day collections ranks 26th on the list.

Taking the comparison a step further we also decided to list a few of the films that have featured a good multiplier rating. Unlike the 100 crore club this list comprises of smaller releases like Vicky Donor, Ishaqzaade, Raajneeti, Tanu Weds Manu and others. Here it is the Ayushmann Khurrana, Bhumi Pednekar starrer Dum Laga Ke Haisha that takes the second slot.
