I'm not getting it. How does this add up?
How did Pathaan become the first film to open the 500 cr club?
Dangal really made about 2,000 crores.
This is just domestic figures, right? Otherwise Dangal would be in the top 1500 or even 2000.
This list only reflects inflation. Ticket prices were much lower earlier and have risen over time. In value terms, movie revenues are quite similar even though they're not identical.
Isn't it Dangal that first entered the 500 cr club with ₹535 cr domestic?

All figures are domestic.
Pathaan was the first to hit 500 crore? What about Dangal?
Sholay is the biggest film if you account for no. of tickets sold.
I've always thought that ticket count would be a better measure of a film's success than box‑office revenue.
