What you are saying is total BS. You are ONLY counting the Indian grosses of a movie. You are NOT COUNTING THE TOTAL GROSS INCOME. You completely throw out all foreign income for NOREASON. Why? To judge anthing on a financial basis reason you MUST include all income for the product or person’s movies. If you did then of course the REAL outcome would be completely different with Shahrukh Khan coming out way ahead. There is no reason to cut off all of the very large sums of money that these movies make outside of India!!!

Congratulations Hrithik.. ( you really deserve it) and I hope that Shahrukh will go back to the same position in future, after the release of his 2 movies and ( both Hrithik & Shahrukh will be at no. 1)

Although I’m sure that it’s just like a race, today Hrithik is No. 1, tomorrow will be Akshay, after tomorrow might be Aamir but Salman ( I don’t think so.. sorry Salman) he might make it one day, no one knows, it depends on the movies he’ll do.

BUT I’M SURE, THAT HRITHIK WILL CONTINUE DOING BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES, AND IF WE JUST COMPARE ALL THE 5 ACTORS, ( IN THEIR LOOK ONLY) HRITHIK & SHAHRUKH, BOTH WIN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

HRITHIK IS THE MOST GOOD LOOKING ACTOR AMONG THE 5 AND WILL REMAIN AS HE’S YOUNG.
SHAHRUKH IS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE ACTOR IN BOLLYWOOD, AND WILL REMAIN, EVEN IF HE REACHES THE AGE OF 60, EVEN IF HIS HAIR BECOME WHITE AND HAVE SOME WRINKLES IN HIS FACE ( AND WOULD LOOK IN FUTURE LIKE VEER, IN HIS MOVIE VEER ZARA, WHEN HE’S OLD) HE WOULD BE STILL ATTRACTIVE AND WIN HEARTS)

A word to all Punjabi/pakistani:

Don’t feel bad as Akshay is not number 1 today, but he might be tomorrow by doing some more blockbuster movies.

And more to add:

I used to send my messages to Shahrukh Khan, not to do some crap movies thru some websites e.g. Om Shanti Om & Don, but if these kind of movies satisfy the majority and what matters is the box office (only) then I would ask him the following:

Sharukh, although I don’t like these kind of movies ( and I loved some of your movies which didn’t do well at the box office e.g. Paheli, Dil Se, Asoka) so go ahead, do them that u win back your position!

My personal view of if a film is good is if I (or you) like it and i (or you) sit through it at the cinema in it’s entirety without walking out…..then when it is released on dvd you watch it all the way through without hitting fast forward once – what does is matter about how well it did financially or what the “critics” say for that matter?

Some of the films mentioned above that are down as flops I absolutely loved and some that are down as superhits I was bored senseless with. So who is right about their popularity me or the critics? It’s all down to personal taste.

Of the five actors mentioned above in order my (personal) top five in order of popularity is

1. HRITHIK ROSHAN
2.AAMIR KHAN
3.SHAHRUKH KHAN
4.AKSHAY KUMAR
5.SALMAN KHAN

.and I know some people reading this will disagree. But my point is what does it matter if someone else doesn’t like my personal preferences? That’s the point IT’S MY CHOICE – not someone elses and certainly NOT a “critics” choice

i disagree with this listing. you need to look at the number of solo hits an actor has given over the last few years. the only actor that has given more solo hits than any other actor is akshay kumar. hrithik is nowehere near. he is way below, only giving two solo hits.

your list relies on total gross of all the movies. that cannot be used to decide an actors position. simply because the box office takings of a movie rely on various factors, such as the marketing ability, total number of prints in circulation, the period of time when the film is released – i.e. could affected by mood in country etc. so your list is not a correct portrayal.

also, in your list hrithik shows as 56.4 crores, and akshay 57 crores, so akshay should be ahead of hrithik.
also, you forget akshays superhits bhagam bhag and phir hera pheri.

the correct listing is as follows:

1. akshay

2. shah rukh

3. aamir.

4. hrithik

5. salman

so please get it right indicine team.

Indicine Team: Hi.. in Boxofficeindia website, I read that the most movie which did a huge collection from the year 2000 till 2008 is Dhoom2. The collection for this movie was more than any other movies released during this period of time.

U said to one of the commentators: Can Akshay play Hrithik’s role in KMG or JA, and u didn’t mention if he could do a movie like (Dhoom2) or dance like Hrithik! definetly Akshay, at this stage, won’t be able to do it only if he plans to change his look, his roles and his style.

But as I said already in one of my comments, that evey actor got his flavour, each one of them is different than the other in the performance, the style, the look, etc, but some actors deserve to be on top like Hrithik because he plays in (difficult roles), this point must be noted when we compare which actor is the best as some actors r able to do even 5 to 6 movies in a year as they can finish a movie within a month only! their roles never demand hard work for long time, but others who really do difficult roles, it’d take them 6 months or a year to finish a job, a quality job, so they can’t do more than 2 or 3 movies at maximum in a year, so does Aamir Khan and Shahrukh.

In my opinion, that Akshay Kumar can do, but he has to change his style, he must do a very serious action romantic movie, a big movie not like the movies he did in the past ( I can’t recall any of Akshay Kumar’s action movies which was so good!)

Akshay looks nice when he doesn’t smile, when he got a serious face, and the only movie which I saw for him, which he had a serious facial expression and he fitted in was his debute movie ( it wasn’t a good movie but he had what he lacks now, I can’t remember the name of the movie)

He must change his roles now to a completely different ones. He must build muscels, must also gain some more weights, and try to retrieve his look during 90’s, must have a strong face & body with a tan colour. He really fits in what I mentioned and will easily reach the top.

i still disagree with your evaluation. the sarcasm in your comments clearly shows that you are biased, and for some absurd reason you tend to favour hrithik over akshay or even shah rukh. it appears to be a personal choice of yours.

if hrithik released more than 1 movie a year, they would not do very well at the box office. as he only has about 1 release a year, it becomes a huge hit, simply because people are keen to see it due to a hrithik film being released after a long time. thus his 1 film a year becomes a hit by default.
remember the days hrithik released several films a year ? none of them did well !

to illustrate the point, lets say after dhoom 2, hrithik was to release 3 mediocre films. none of which people liked and which became flops. if jodha akbar released after this, do you think people would go to see the film ? no, they would not. at best the film would do average business because the majority of the audience would have been dissapointed with his 3 previous mediocre films. hence jodha akbar would not have done well.
so the fact that hrithik releases 1 movie a year, is to his advantage.
now imagine if post dhoom 2 , hrithik released several more movies, which were flops. this will now mean according to your evaluation above, that hrithik should be way down the pecking order !! get my point ??

so by releasing 1/2 films a year, hrithik is immediately at an advantage over lets say shah rukh or akshay. if hrithik released several films a year, he would be way down your pecking order above.
so your pecking order above is not a correct evaluation. you have not taken many important factors into account.

so , you see, your top 5 list is not a correct evaluation and is flawed.

another thing you need to look at when doing the evaluation, is which actor has the ability to give big hits with small banners or unknown banners. that actor surely must be a top actor. if you look at hrithiks big hits dhoom 2, KMG, and KRISSH., JODHA AKBAR. THEY WERE ALL BIG BANNERS, and almost guaranteed him hits. how many hits has hrithik given with small banners ? akshay has given many hits with small banners. that is a mark of a real superstar.

if hrithik released several movies with small banners, i can assure you they will not fair well at the box office.

i gurantee you this, hrithiks forthcoming movies (except for krrish 2) are not going to do that well. as i understand they are with mediocre directors. and they will not be able to raise the profile of an average actor like hrithik as the big directors did in dhoom 2, krrish etc. so i do not think those future movies of his will do well. remember , you heard it from me first.

so hrithik is no way no.1 !! akshay is way ahead. akshay has the ability to turn mediocre mindless comedies into big hits. only an actor with superstar pedigree is able to do that.
in terms of you questioning his acting abilities, just wait till chandni chowk, blue, and the nagesh kukunoor movie that akshay is doing to be released. those are different movies which require a variety of acting skills. you will see his different acting abilities and then you can comment. iam sure he will prove you wrong about your incorrect judgement. watch chandni chowk and see him match acting abilities with foreign actors !

also, i did not say that you should have included bhagam bhag and phir hera pheri in your list. what i said was ‘do you remember those hits’ ? that was it. so, please get it right. and i mentioned nothin about singh is kinng.

until hrithik is able to give several hits with small banners, he cannot be considered as a superstar in his own right. and undoubtedly cannot be considered better than akshay or shah rukh. he needs to reach a position where he can safely give hits with small and big banners alike. until then , he cannot be compared to akshay. akshay has proven over the last few years that he is capable of turning anything into box office gold and he has raised the profile of many mediocre directors. akshay is truly the undisputed king of the box office, hrithik is way below him.

so please get it right. your list is not a correct evaluation

I clearly agree with u Raj.KHILADI KUMAR is the best of all actors.Is there any one actor in India to do action sequences without the help of a body double?

My top 5 Bollywood actors list is:

1. Shahid Kapoor
2. Salman Khan
3. Hrithik Roshan
