The Cash Register (Commerce)

Unlike Wall Street, where the "top" is simply the highest number, Bollywood’s peak is a slippery, emotional, and often contradictory beast. To find the true #1 in the Bollywood Index, we have to weigh three volatile factors: , The Cultural Needle (Impact) , and The Time Machine (Longevity) .

• Index Score: 95/100
• Why it’s Top: No Bollywood index movie top list is complete without this comedy. Paresh Rawal’s "Baburao Ganpatrao Apte" is arguably the funniest character ever written in Hindi cinema.
• Quote: "Uthao lathe ko, girjao taale ko."
