    Aamiri-most no. Of Disasters with least no. Of Hits,9 hits in 30 years.
    Who is best?

  • indicine is constantly posting articles about srk. you have skipped many important news about Bang Bang,Hrithik and other actors like Ajay,Akshay,Emraan but you post srk articles on daily basis.
    I expected atleast you will be unbiased but i was wrong, each and every media is sold out to khans.

  • I do agree that he was the best actor from 1993 to 2005 and he also has the award for that but its i think from 1994 to 2004 but since then he has taken some poor roles.he had great record from 1992 to 2004 where he was in top3 best actors in almost every year :

    1993 – baazigar
    1994 – khkn
    1995 – ddlj
    1997 – pardes
    1998 – dil se
    2000 – mohabbatien
    2002 – devdas
    2003 – kal ho na ho
    2004 – swades

    he was in top 3 in total 9 out of 13 years.. which is shocking!. those years there he wasnt in top3 were 1992, 96, 99 and 001..but the most important thing was that these were the years where he dont had any well-recieved film and the import part is that every year best performances comes from well-recived films, so there was no chance for him.. so overall he had total 9 years where the films and he was in top3 in every year. now tell me one actor who has such amazing record, and please dont say that its my view.. its not my but critics as well as public views in those years.

    seriously, missing that srk with nice roles..will he had some amazing record, his performance in films like – baazigar, darr, kabhi haan kabhi na, anjam, ddlj, pardes, dil se, mohabbatien, devdas, kal ho na ho, veer zaara had amazing reactions from critics to audience..while some of his most highly praised performances were swades, kabhi haan kabhi naa, pardes, kal ho na ho and others…his act in pardes was highly praised and in my opinion this is his best work till date after swades, cdi and kabhi haan kabhi naa, while khkn is srk’s most immensly praised performance till date along with swades and cdi(can’t imagine some one else in khkn)

    But he needs to chooce better roles..so gud luck for fan and raees

  • we all Indians are proud of him the king of bollywood the biggest mega star in the world one and only mr shahrukh khan love you srk

  • I think he will soon get a building on rent to keep his awards coz his house is full.

    King you r our pride. Live long.
    SRK

  • An amazing and exceedingly long collection of prestigious titles by SRK but this is nothing, our bhai is a God becuz he has only 1 filmfare award and many domestic criminal court awards/cases lol

  • Well, it is nice to see him winning the things he likes and takes pride of. It also shows how strong his lobby groups, PR teams and connections with media. Despite involving in a number of scandalous events, he is able to maintain a good image because of his connections with the media biggie and lobby groups.
    But it will not make any differences when it comes to BO collections. It can’t coceal the defects of his refurbished antique washing machine coming in Diwali..
    By the way, in this pic, he looks like a chusa huwa aam. That maybe why the admin chooses this pic.

    @Indicine,thank u for posting this list. Now, his fans can sigh a relief after the failure of hny trailer. By the way, can u tell us how many awards he has received from Pandora? Does he have 3.7 billions fans? I will be grateful!

  • These are all great achievments and also great honour for indian film industry…
    Kudos to srk..he really had helped indian movies to get recognition around the world…
