The 100 crore directors of 2012

This year, we saw eight movies crossing the 100 crore target — the 'benchmark figure' as it's popularly called in the trade circuit. While Rohit Shetty (Bol Bachchan) has become a regular in this club, Karan Malhotra got in with his directorial debut (Agneepath). Kabir Khan (Ek Tha Tiger), Anurag Basu (Barfi!), Sajid Khan (Housefull 2) and Prabhudheva (Rowdy Rathore) are the other new entrants to the club. Unfortunately, the legendary Yash Chopra wasn't around to see his final film Jab Tak Hai Jaan's box-office performance. These eight films contributed to about 30 per cent of the `2600 cr plus national net earnings from Hindi films this year.

Arbaaz Khan: Assisted Mahesh Bhatt before debuting as an actor with Daraar. Produced Dabangg. After Abhinav Kashyap opted out of Dabangg 2, Arbaaz took up the reins. The film made Rs 100 crore in eight days.

Prabhudheva: Following the succes of his Hindi directorial Wanted, this actor turned director made Rowdy Rathore inspired by the Telugu film Vikramarkudu. The Akshay Kumar film made Rs. 132.25 crore.

Yash Chopra: Chopra returned to directing eight years after Veer-Zaara and announced that Jab Tak Hai Jaan would be his swansong. He passed away before the film released. The film took home Rs. 106 crore.

Anurag Basu: After debuting with Saaya, his next film Murder was a hit. Basu further established himself as a director with Gangster and Life In A...Metro. His Barfi! made Rs. 105.68 crore.

Kabir Khan: After Kabul Express and New York, Kabir Khan made his most ambitious venture with Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif. It saw Salman collaborate with producers Yash and Aditya Chopra for the first time. Ek Tha Tiger made 186.26 crore.

Rohit Shetty: He's best known for his family entertainers like the Golmaal series and blowing up cars in action sequences. This time round, he remade Hrishikesh Mukherjee's original Golmaal. Fortunately, the gamble paid off, making Rs 102 crore.

Sajid Khan: The erstwhile comedian has had a dream run as a filmmaker with comedies like Heyy Baby and Housefull. He promised that the sequel would be a bigger hit. It was no empty boast. Housefull 2 made Rs. 111.63 crore.

Karan Malhotra: Karan Johar's former assistant director revisited Agneepath at KJo's behest. Considering that the failure of the original film broke Yash Johar's heart, Malhotra couldn't have made KJo more proud. The film made Rs. 121.14 crore.
