Evaluation of the year

Richard Brody of The New Yorker observed that for 2017, "the most important event in the world of movies was the revelation, in The New York Times and The New Yorker, of sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein, and the resulting liberation of the long-stifled voices of the people who had been abused by him or other powerful figures in the movie business, and, for that matter, in other arts and industries, too." He emphasizes that in effect, "[w]hat's missing from the year-end list, and from the era in movies, isn't only the unmade work by these filmmakers but the artistry and the careers of cast and crew members who would have been in their unrealized films." [1]

    1000 Crore Club is an unofficial designation by the Indian film trade and the media, related to Indian language films that have grossed ₹1000 crore or more either within India or on a global scale. The 1000 crore club is preceded by the 100 crore club. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017) became the first Indian film to gross over ₹1000 crore worldwide. It grossed ₹1,430 crore across all languages in India. It was followed by the Aamir Khan-starrer Hindi film Dangal, which is the highest-grossing Indian film, expanding the club to 1900 crore, before creating the ₹2,000 crore club, and becoming the fifth highest-grossing non-English language film of all time. In 2022, two films released in the span of a month, RRR and K.G.F: Chapter 2, have also grossed more than ₹1,000 crore at the global box office. In 2023, the trend persisted with the release of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Hindi films Pathaan and Jawan.
