Top 12 Actors in Bollywood

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama has put up a very interesting list of Top 12 Actors in the industry, based on the box office collections of films of each actor, overseas and India combined.

The Top 3 stars have all appeared in 3 films, Aamir Khan as expected tops the list by quite a distance. He is followed by Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan at 2 and 3. Akshay Kumar is at Number 4 appearing in more than 10 films, followed by Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.

Salman Khan is down at No 7 ahead of Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Shahid Kapoor, Imran Khan and Ajay Devgan.

With Veer, My Name Is Khan, Housefull, Kites, Rajneeti set for release in the first half of the year, except some changes in the list.

  • Priyanka prefers Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ek Bataa Saat to Rohan Sippy’s film
    By Subhash K. Jha, January 18, 2010 – 16:21 IST

    After Kaminey, Priyanka has a unique chemistry with Bhardwaj. In Vishal’s Ek Bataa Saat (which means ‘1 into 7’) she plays a woman with seven husbands, a big challenge for the actress.

    guys in Whats Your Raashi She did 12 Roles
    now in EK Bataa Saat she has 7 husbends
    what will next step ????
    i think 12 kids
    what do u think ????

  • well.. say whatever you want.. that’s the level of yr thinking.. can’t convince u.. the way u can’t convince me when u like a movie and I don’t.

    Nauman: your last comment “proves” that you really respect elder ppl!!!

  • Srk is best actor among the names mentioned in the list according to me .

    with two super successes aamir is top at box office , see the difference

    jodha akbar early 2008
    rab ne bana di jodi 12 dec 2008

    ghajini 25 dec 2008 3 idiots 25 dec 2009

    now mnik and kites remains to be seen as they can change top position .

  • these monkeys over hereare praising srk ..bcos these idiots dontknow the politics and groupism that isin bollywood…retards!!!!srk is a masterpolitician and he acts only ingay katran johar,yashraj banners only ,if hehas balls tell him to act in a non-famous director and makeahit…iwillshave my head if he does thwat…ppl love him,ppl praise him ,he is lovable.,he has won so many imes….ha ha wat a rubbish all these things… repeat the most popular is the newho was always with indian cinema,acted with every poor script,poor directors,poor banners,and still delivered hits andlckbusters for yearsand still in top 5 …that is AKSHAYKUMAR….any more doubts you fooooooools?

  • praveen , saale tu monkey hai . you may be gay but srk is not as he is married .

    u are idiot. stop defaming actors here idiot.

  • imtiaz like a said before thats too much over confidence from you saying veer will gross 130 crore its not going to happen maximum 70 crore in india

  • Iam surprised by this comments of urs Indicine . even when i saw this list yesterday or day before yesterday , i also thought of the 2 points mentioned by you

    Our pick from the list is Akki, for two reasons

    1) Crap films, critically thrashed yet his average worldwide share is more than half of SRK, Hrithik.
    2) Number of films, 4 times to the Top 3 while maintaining a healthy average – not easy.

    The man has immense star power, but just isn’t smart enough.

  • Shahrukh and Amir both are good actors u can not compare them,both has different style of acting,

    above mentioned list is the box office collection of each actor,below mentioned list is for best actor for their performances.

    1- Amir Khan & Shahrukh Khan
    2- Salman Khan(for wanted,london Dream and i am sure for Veer)
    3-Hrithak Roshan
    4- Irfan Khan
    5- Saif Ali Khan
    6- Abhay Deol
    7- Shahid Kapoor
    8- Ajay Devgan
    9- Abhishak Bachan
    10- Akshay Kumar
    11-Rabir Kapoor
    12- John Ibraham

  • MY NAME IS KHAN will be much better than veer .

    Be happy mnik is releasing 3 weeks after veer otherwise you would have found your veer hiding in a

    cave…

    even akshay is lot better than salman in terms acting as well as star power.

    aamir as for now is box office king with super success of ghajini and 3 idiots .

  • A word to your abusive language:

    God blessed me with a brain, to value any actor according to his performance ( and not according to the box office collections!!) God blessed me with a brain to see and distinguish a good work from a bad one.. and value what I see on the screen (and not from the figures given by websites!!) So.. I’m not a psyhco..

    yesterday everyone was screeming for Akshay, after the success of Singh is Kinng.. today.. he’s left behind ( poor Akshay.. they don’t like u any more!!) and now ppl here are screeming for Aamir ( 10 years ago no one paid attention to him.. poor Aamir.. today they’re are crazy for you.. but wait few years.. they’ll give u their back and will scream for some other actors!!) and for more than 10 years, no one dared to say, utter a bad word again Shahrukh.. and today.. he’s a gay, he’s nothing without big banners, hes a bad person, etc..

    Thank God that I’m not one of your people!!!!!

  • To Amit Singhania, Nauman, Nazeer and others.. Abusing other members isn’t allowed here. Please be nice. If Fathiya decides to watch Dulha Mil Gaya again, so what? Its her money, her choice..

    Fathiya, your comments edited too.

    Naveed Uk, pulling down Akki ? Read our comment once again :)

    Afrid Khan, yes its combined, but India is mentioned separately too..

    And regarding Veer lets wait and watch. The verdict will be out in 2 -3 days, could go either way. Box office opening doesn’t matter, lets just hope the film is good. If it is, more than half the battle is won :)

  • Good article by Taran, I am happy 4 seen my Akshay at no.4, though i think Salman is better than his rank. I dont agreed with salman at no.7 is injustice. if u go back 2 indiafm n check below they bring d detail about every films n collection of it. So pls can any1 tell me which things they follow to put Ranbir n saif on top of him? By d way i am very happy 4 Aamir as no1, he deserve it.

    @ all this guy’s who are fight, pls stop fighting, if Fathiya say her mine that is nothing 2 change. so let her speak her mine, if we hate what she said there are some who will appreciate it. Though i am sorry 2 say, I am not with u Fathiya. But pls do not abuse her pls pls, we have respect our self, i hope u can understand me.

  • Totally agree With Taran Adarshs 12 top actors:

    Raincheck for Akshay Kumar fanbase: His last three films, namely Blue, Kabhakkt Ishq and that debacle Tasveer have contributed to his positioning, all three starred him in a leading role and they all uncategorically bombed at the BO, Had Askhay Kumar not made those 3 films, who knows? Could have been in the top 3.

    Finally Salman Khan fans get a reality check: Where where you guys during God Tussi Great, Yuvraaj and London Dreams? All films boasted Salman in a leading role and they all BOMBED. If you want your hero to do well, go and watch his films rather than BOAST THAT THEY WILL DO WELL. Nuff said.

    The top 3 for me is spot on.

    Aamir is top, great actor and producer, has had a dream run in TZP, Ghajini and 3 idiots have been brilliant. Deserves no 1 after a fine last 2 years, where he had a super hit and 2 all time blockbusters. Also proved his credentials as a Director.

    Shahrukh Khan: Another great actor and producer, he entertained in Om shanti Om, proved his acting critics wrong in Chak De India and made us laugh in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. All three i understand where blockbusters, even Chak De! India, which started slowly and was not billed as a bluckbuster due to its theme.

    Hritik Roshan: The Worlds first superhero, one of the best villains and Emperor Akbar is what Hritik Roshan gave us, they all where Blockbusters, hasnt released any films lately but Kites looks very good.

    Isnt it interesting that the top 3 have done only three leading role films each in the past 4 years? Is it a case of quality over quantity for those 3 unlike Salman and Akshay.
    Each of the top three have given big hits in every LEAD ROLE films that they have made.

    Aamir shouldnt have the highest International gross, 3 idiots has helped that number considerably. SRK has always had a firm grip on the overseas audience, so I was surprised with the gap between him and Aamir on the international scene. I expect that will change when My Name Is Khan and Kites release, both are much bigger international films. But Aamir can be sure too keep a firm grip on number 1 as far as India is conerned, dont think My Name is Khan, Kites, Veer or Housefull will get anywhere close 3 Idiots, although a few of them may break Ghajini depending on content (take off Housefull, only 3 have a chance of breaking Ghajini XD). Sorry AK fans, but i hold Akshay Kumar in no regard.

  • remember me?????? my 10th board exams are coming .. wish me luck..

    n sorry 4 all the crap above.. love u indicine

    hii nauman bhaiya n fathiya, hina, payal didi.. how r u??

  • sonakshisinha daughter of shatrugan sinha watched veer few hrs back…thts wat she tweeted abt veer

    sonakshisinha VEER was an awesome visual treat! Great performances, amazing effects and a gripping plot! :)

  • @ someone called fathiya!!
    do you know anything about cinema??i guess not,and you dont need to hate anyone who you dont prefer to watch!!i just dont understand your character!!!you maybe from some different planet!!i prefr aamir over any other actor it doesnt matter i hate all other actors,HATE is big word try to understand wot hate means!!!

  • Its first time happen that srk is at number 2. Srk and amir both are great actors. Number 1 postion has been belonging to srk for many years. But not for 2009.
    Amir khan deserved at no 1 becuase of last two years.
    Salman khan will be amongst top 5 actors after the release of veer.
    Srk has always been no 1 except this year. Becuase he had no release this year. But he will be be back on number 1 postion after the release of mnik and Ra1

  • Indicine Team: thx.. the best thing u did.. I don’t like using abusive words.. but ppl here let me do it.. coz they want everyone to screem the way they do for their favourite actors as well as their favourite movies..if we didn’t like their favourite movies.. so we’re psycho.. retards.. such crazy ppl on this website!!! and if we liked a movie and praised it..also it makes us psycho, retards!!!

    Prem Bhaduriya: good comment.. but it’d never work with these ppl, many ppl already said what you’ve mentioned, to respect all the top actors, but these ppl “think” that when they disgrace any actor’s name, describe him with the worst.. this way their favourite actor would win in the race and will top them all!!

    Krrish: Hi
