MUMBAI: Looks like director Anurag Basu‘s luck is paying him rich dividends. After being selected as India‘s official entry to the Oscars in the foreign language film category this year, Basu‘s Barfi! has added another feather in its cap. It has joined the Rs 1 billion club of Bollywood.

The total cost of the movie has reportedly been Rs 300 million and since its release on 14 September, the love triangle featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D‘Cruz has appealed so much to the moviegoers that it has raked in Rs 1 billion at the box office.

The other Bollywood movies that grossed Rs 1 billion this year are Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, Bol Bachchan and Ek Tha Tiger.

Barfi! has been produced by UTV Motion Pictures and after Rowdy Rathore, this is the production house‘s second film to achieve the feat.
