Ever since the term 100 Crore Club was coined with Ghajini, the definition of Blockbuster and All Time Blockbuster has changed. A film that goes over the 200 crore mark in its lifetime collections is typically a Blockbuster (unless the budget is too high, as was the case with Happy New Year or Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which had to contend with Superhit and Hit status respectively). Moreover, a movie that enters the 300 Crore Club has traditionally been an All Time Blockbuster (as has been the case with PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan).
