Top 10 Actors in Bollywood

We are starting a new feature called Top Ten, a weekly special that will cover something new each week. Today, we start off with the Top 10 Actors in Bollywood.

Note

  • We have included all movies from 2010. With others who feature in just one film per year or those who didn’t have a release in 2010, we have taken only their last 3 films into consideration.
  • This particular list is based on the box office performance of movies in India only.
  • Movies with actors in small supporting roles or guest appearances have been ignored.

Top 10 Actors in Bollywood, we start with number 10…

Number 10 – Emraan Hashmi

  • Helped by Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, which also starred Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi makes a surprise entry into the Top 10.
  • Crook (October 2010) – 12 crores
  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbai (July 2010) – 58 crores
  • Tum Mile (November 2009) – 10 crores
  • Total – 80 crores
  • Average per movie – 26.5 crores

Number 9 – Imran Khan

  • Imran Khan started off in a big way but apart from I Hate Luv Story’s his other films have failed to work at the box office.
  • Break Ke Baad (November 2010) – 17 crores
  • I Hate Luv Storys (July 2010) – 44 crores
  • Luck (July 2009) – 21 crores
  • Total – 82 crores
  • Average per movie – 27 crores

Number 8 – Saif Ali Khan

  • Saif had no release in 2010, Love Aaj Kal remains his biggest solo grosser.
  • Kurbaan (November 2009) – 24 crores
  • Love Aaj Kal (July 2009) – 66 crores
  • Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (June 2008) – 22 crores
  • Total – 112 crores
  • Average per movie – 37 crores

Number 7 – Hrithik Roshan

  • The last time we did a similar list, Hrithik Roshan, fresh from the super-success of Krrish and Dhoom 2, was right on the top of the list. But after the failure of Kites and Guzaarish, he’s slumped down to No 7.
  • Guzaarish (November 2010) – 30 crores
  • Kites (May 2010) – 49 crores
  • Jodha Akbar (February 2008) – 62 crores
  • Total – 141 crores
  • Average per movie – 47 crores

Number 6 – Akshay Kumar

  • Akshay Kumar had a decent 2010. With all his movies combined, he hit the 200 crore mark! Not as bad as the media makes it out to be, is it?
  • Tees Maar Khan (December 2010) – 62 crores
  • Action Replay (November 2010) – 27 crores
  • Khatta Meetha (July 2010) – 40 crores
  • Housefull (April 2010) – 72 crores
  • Total – 201 crores
  • Average per movie – 50 crores

Number 5 – Ranbir Kapoor

  • Ranbir is rising and rising quick. Almost all his films except Rocket Singh have done well at the box office. He’s by far the youngest in the Top 5.
  • Anjaana Anjaani (September 2010) – 40 crores
  • Raajneethi (June 2010) – 93 crores
  • Rocket Singh (December 2009) – 21 crores
  • Total – 154 crores
  • Average per movie – 51 crores

Number 4 – Ajay Devgan

  • Ajay Devgan is rocking these days, he’s currently one of the most bankable actors in the country and the numbers below are staggering for a Ajay Devgan film. Who would have thought 2010 would be his year?
  • Golmaal 3 (Number 2010) – 108 crores
  • Aakrosh (October 2010) – 14 crores
  • Once Upon A Time In Mumbai – 58 crores
  • Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge (March 2010) – 30 crores
  • Total – 210 crores
  • Average per movie – 61 crores

Number 3 – Salman Khan

  • Don’t be surprised if Chulbul Pandey makes it to the top by the end of 2012, he has some hugely potential box office blockbusters up for release in the coming two years, which includes the sequel to Dabangg!
  • Dabangg (September 2010) – 144 crores
  • Veer (January 2010) – 37 crores
  • London Dreams (October 2009) – 29 crores
  • Total – 210 crores
  • Average per movie – 70 crores

Number 2 – Shahrukh Khan

  • The most consistent Khan of all, Shahrukh Khan has sustained his place at the top ever since he started his career. Again, his upcoming films promise huge box office returns. Can he make it to the top once again?
  • My Name Is Khan (February 2010) – 73 crores
  • Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (December 2008) – 85 crores
  • Om Shanti Om (November 2007) – 81 crores
  • Total – 239 crores
  • Average per movie – 80 crores

Number 1 – Aamir Khan

  • And at No 1 is Aamir Khan. He’s currently far far ahead of the competition. Each of his films earn approximately 50 crores more than the second best! His numbers speak for themselves, don’t they?
  • 3 Idiots (December 2009) – 203 crores
  • Ghajini (December 2008) – 115 crores
  • Taare Zameen Par (December 2007) – 62 crores
  • Total – 380 crores
  • Average per movie – 127 crores

Some points..

  • Abhishek Bachchan with a 3 film average of 22 crores, John Abraham with an average of 20 crores and Shahid Kapoor with a 23 crore average.. came close but couldn’t make it to the Top 10. Abhishek didn’t make it mainly because of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, an epic box office disaster.
  • Aamir’s last 3 films have netted 380 crores at the box office. 141 crores more than Shahrukh’s and 170 crores more than Salman in the same number of films!
  • Aamir’s 3 Idiots alone has netted more than 8 Abhishek Bachchan movies in the last 3 – 4 years.
  • Irrespective of how other films perform, Aamir should retain the top spot in the Top 10 Actors list atleast for another year.

  • 1.Ajay Devgn

    Ajay Devgn – The next miracle & realistic actor after Guru Dutt, he is so down to earth and versatile actor……I am not a critic to other actors of Bollywood but what makes Ajay devgn different from the crazy crowd of others is his “Let the work speak” nature……He never advertises himself and never falls in controversies just for getting cheap popularity…..he never asks anyone to appreciate him…..Never believes in calling himself badshah, king or by any other title……he is just what he is and does not need approval of others on the basis of what he is not…..a realistic actor should always speak from his silence, brooding eyes, reticent approach but not egoistic, good acting skills, realistic painful expression, when needed (rather than shedding tears using glycerin) and the one who can put weight to mannerism of acting….and I am sure there is a one who has such abilities who can do all these without making any superficial drama, without any controversial hypes, without making news other than acting……I have never seen such an impressive silent eyes which can speak the words of heart naturally without much effort, he does not speak the words simply but his whole body should support what he is speaking…He has amazing ability to connect with common people (even a beggar can feel attachment to sultan mirza one of his powerful roles),most of his characters are earthy and connected with the common men, he does not give an impression of being something different from other people like other actors try to show them special as if their blood color is other than red or they eat gold coins rather than eating roti..I know Ajay has always been under estimated but you all know this is all because he is not from crazy crowd of controversies for no cause……A new era has started where u need to differentiate between touch wood acting which comes from heart & soul & other one group who is more famous for making news other than acting….but it all depends what u want to see……I have chosen a fresh breeze of realistic acting rather than going towards the false news or crowd pulling cheap activities……Now it’s your turn where u want to go…..God bless.

  • take into consideration solo hits.
    3 idiots was same for aamir, madhwan, n sahrman
    So all credit cant b to aamir.
    Tzp was hit for story n darsheel.
    Rang de basanti was again a team film.
    Only gajhani is his solo film (a copy)
    So no ways he’s d best actor in comparisn wid srk.
    Om shanti om was suprb.
    Hos charachter of suri in rab ne will remain untouched. No in b.wood wud hav played it d way srk eased it.
    n MNIK…no words for acting gem.
    Just as if he had no cameras around him for a mile.

  • Aamir is no. 1 , see all past 10 years movies of any actor of bollywood . And add total collection . It is much more than any actor .
    Chahe sharukh 1 saal me 20 movie bhi kar le , Aamir se aage nahi nikal sakta .

  • Agar sharukh itna bada star hota toh logon ki shadiyon me nachne na jata .
    Filmfare walo se award na kharidta . Usko sirf rone wali acting aati hai . See all movies done by him 80./. Movies me sirf roya hi hai . Baki jinme nahi roya unme se maximum flop ho gayi .
