Bollywood Khans lead boxoffice raking in over Dh58m each this year

2014 wasn’t particularly a very good year for Bollywood. Most of the films released this year were duds and flopped and even disappointed the fans and the critics together.

Here are the top ten films of the year completely based on box office performance and nine of them passed the Rs 100 crore [Dh58m] barrier.
