We’ve updated the list of Top 5 highest grossers of every year since 2000. The year that has gone by has arguably been the most successful year for the film industry, as the average of Top 5 films is more than Rs 200 crore – up by 66 crore compared to 2012.
Shahrukh Khan remains the most successful actor in the last decade and a half with 16 of his films finding a spot in the highest grossers of the year list. SRK is followed by Akshay Kumar, who has never topped the highest grosser list, but has been hugely successful with 12 films in the Top 5.
Hrithik has played the lead in just 19 films in his career out of which 9 have been huge grossers. Salman is above Hrithik with 11 films. Aamir Khan is at number five with 7 films, only because has acted in only 11 films in the last 14 years.
The usual suspects continue to reign supreme with Ranbir Kapoor looking like the only star who can compete against the Top 5. But even he has a long way (a good 4-5 years atleast) before he can come close to the top superstars.

Success ratio of Aamir khan is higher than Srk considering this list.
salman has 4 highest grosser of the year – 2005,2010,2011,2012
Srk ,hritik and amir has 3
Salman the undisputed king …just wait for kick and records will not be shattered it will be kicked .
SRK The King Of Indian Cinema :)
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Romance/Drama) – 120 cr ???? haaa???? and 2012 were is JTHJ???it was 120+
and Indicine has K3 really collected what u have posted?? I doubt
Salman khan has the maximum 4 highest grossing movies of the year since 2000.
if u see in percentage Aamir khan is above.. but just 11 films so.. SRK is 2nd with 25 films which is excellent and shows his consistency
Salman has delivered highest grosser 4 times (most for any actor) since 2000.
Salman has delivered highest grosser 4 times (most for any actor) during 1990-1999.
Salman has delivered highest grosser 1 times in 1989 also.
In 2k13.the correct ranking is
1.d3-285crs
2.ce-227crs
3.yjhd-190crs(not 120 crs that u r mentioning)
4.k3-178crs (+10crs if regional version added)
5.ram leela-110 crs
Aamir khan’s 3 highest grossing movies of the respective year collection is 601 crores compared to Srk’s 3 highest grossing movies of that years which is 151 crores.lol
My top 5 fav movies from these lists are
1.3 idiots/veer zara
2. 3 idiots/veer zara
3.KMG.
4.dhoom 2
5.rab ne bana di jodi
Srk is king , then, now & forever !
highest grosser 4 times …. Salman ….respect..
Hrithik And Aamir ! RESPECT ! They dont want money They want Quality. And Akshay hats off He works in so Many films But Whats the Point not Even one of his Films will be Remembered In the Next 50 years. SRK you cant count KKKG as Srk’s Film Even Though he was a Main lead so was Hrithik When the Trailers Came out no one knew hrithik wud be Supportin All The Fans of Hrithik Went an Saw that. So you gota give it To hrithik n SRK . If they 1st half was Srk , 2nd was all abt Hrithik. N Salman God is with him from 2009 . So no one can Beat him … lets Hope Kick does Good!. Rest Ajay Sucks, N Ranbir he’s way to Overacting So hes Still a KID . Lets C in the Next 10 years Hrithik Will Dominate Bollywood!
Hrithik Roshan = GOD \m/
@Indicine Barfi 120cr+.I am ok with K3,but not for barfi.If Barfi’s figure is not bigger than Jthj,Then,Jtha only 106cr also.Search in google,You’ll get result:Barfi beats Agneepath’s lifetime collection.you’ll get lot of result.

************************************************
Ths Shows The Consistancy Record Of SRK…..When Acors Like Salman,, Akshay,, Ajay Were Giving Nightmares To Distributors/Producers During 2000-2006 SRK Gave Them Some Tensionfree Time By Making Big Contribution To Boxofice During 2000-2006
Kudos To SRK
Please correct krrish3 figure. It is 177 cr which was confirmed by Filmkraft Productions Pvt. Ltd.
When Filmkraft has confirmed to us and the rest of the media that Krrish 3 has collected 245 cr, wonder why they’d send confirmation of 177 cr to Virat Kohli?
aamir is the best with less no. of films
Akshay is the biggest superstar considering he releases his movie on non holiday,no leading heroine,low production values and 8 releases in 2yrs.WELCOME may have been the 1st 100cr movie if there was no clash with tzp
if you consider worldwide collection srks most underperformed movies are equal to the salman khan golden time hits like bodyguard dabbangg etc. and you still taken only domestic collection but still srk tops.. what greatness this guy has
considering This list aamir whenever his films got released he is in top 5 3 times at top best after salman khan and he is the best.Another issue at indicine plz respond is about krissh 3 why is then boi n other major distributors saying 177 seeing now all sites are in similar pages after dhoom3 box office collections
now it has been crystal clear that srk is and was and will be always king. so no more clarification needed. get well soon haters.
Rizwan Khan@ but 2009-2012 was the biggest worst face of any actor. You can take conclusion himself. Billu Barbar was disaster in 2009, MNIK was semi hit 72 cr. with dharma production in 2010, Raone was disaster/below average/average/above average/semi hit/hit….I don’t know what was the verdict but as far as I know its budget was around 151 crore….don2 was hit with HELP OF FARHAN AKHTAR 107 cr Xmas released….JTHJ was only hit with HELP OF YASHRAJ PRODUCTION 101 cr Diwali released…I think between in 2008-2012 Ranbir Kapoor & Akshay Kumar were bigger star than Self Proclaimed king SRK. Wait for Gabbar, Holiday, Entertainment, Jagga Jasoos & Bombay Velvet. Ranbir Kapoor & Akshay Kumar are enough for SRK, let alone Amir & Salman.
Note: Luck by chance & Dulha Mil Gaya was also disaster (Special Appearance).
@indicine
even media has accepted that k3 has not broken any bo records…many news channels said dhoom3 broke ce records without any mention of fake k3…
@indicine:very good reply to virat kohli. .
and one more thing to all haters aamir and hr quality are D3 and K3 which are no where near to an non actor film jai ho again it is an avg film
Hrithik is far better than Overrated khans in terms of completeness.wait for eid and diwali disaster.
Srk and Ammir did the real great and inspirational movies they can be remembered for whole life films like swades 3 idiots Cdi RDB mnik Tzp are the real and inspirational movies of Indian cineame. they are true masterpiece. sorry forgot lagan so respect for both the actors.
very funny….indicine@ thank u….but despite of giving big collections, Rakesh Roshan sir will regret for lifetime for 177-245 collections of krissh3 Naa Kahin zikr naa Kahin nomination n naa hi invitation. It is noticeable.
even now m watching srk fan are still trying hard to pull k3 collection down…..lol….grow up guys… pray for happy new year to break all records…. :v
