100 Crore Club
The 100 Crore Club is a colloquial term used in the Indian film industry to denote films that achieve significant box office success. In Hindi cinema, it refers to films that have a net domestic box office collection of ₹100 crore (1 billion Indian rupees) or more after deducting entertainment tax. In contrast, in South Indian cinema, the term applies to films that gross ₹100 crore or more worldwide, without deductions for taxes. The key differences are that Hindi cinema tracks net earnings after tax deductions, while South Indian cinema considers gross earnings, and Hindi cinema focuses on domestic collections, whereas South Indian films account for worldwide collections. By 2012, crossing ₹100 crore had become a benchmark for commercial success in Hindi cinema, with films reaching this milestone considered major hits. Actors Salman Khan (17) and Akshay Kumar (16) hold the most entries in the club. In 2017, the 1000 Crore Club emerged as a new benchmark for record-brea ...

Short Film
A short film is a film with a low running time. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) defines a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of not more than 40 minutes including all credits". Other film organizations may use different definitions, however; the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, for example, currently defines a short film as 45 minutes or less in the case of documentaries, and 59 minutes or less in the case of scripted narrative films (it is not made clear whether this includes closing credits). In the United States, short films were generally termed short subjects from the 1920s into the 1970s when confined to two 35 mm reels or less, and featurettes for a film of three or four reels. "Short" was an abbreviation for either term. The increasingly rare industry term "short subject" carries more of an assumption that the film is shown as part of a presentation along with a feature film. Short films are often s ...
