Bajrangi Bhaijaan becomes second movie to enter 'INR 300-crore club'

PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan are the only Bollywood movies to enter the INR 300-crore club so far

With movies hitting the mark of INR 300-crore, competition at the Bollywood box office is cutthroat.

Aamir Khan-starrer PK redefined the term 'blockbuster' after making INR 340.8 crores in India alone. Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan is only the second film to cross the INR 300-crore mark.

The movie has been in Indian cinemas for three weeks and has broken a number of records already. The collections are chasing Aamir Khan's PK but considering that the movie is still running in theaters we won't be surprised if it beats PK's box office record.
