   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

   @ Pooja

   We have calculated the Total Nett Gross. Nett Gross is the All India Gross minus the taxes which goes to the government. (about 30%)

   Regarding overseas collections, we have clearly mentioned that this battle is only the Top 5 actors at the Indian Box-office.

   And if you take the overseas box-office the top 3 are still the same.. We have mentioned that too, SRK is top overseas followed closely by Hrithik and Akshay Kumar.

   One more reason for not taking oversea collections into count is, its hard to get all the figures. We get collections from only US, UK and Australia (Even finding the total collections of some movies at those countries is tough) Next is we have to convert it the foreign currency into rupees at that particular time.

   Say for example Rupees was at 45 per dollar in 2006 - 2007.. But when Tashan released it was probably around 37.. Thats a huge difference. So calculating the exact box-office figures from overseas was literally impossible.

   You could argue about Inflation, but we have mentioned that too :)

   Post Ghajini, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Chandni Chowk the whole list might change. But the Top 3 will remain the same.

   Ghajini will have top gross REAL big if Aamir has to break into the top 3!

   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.

    @Raj

    Clearly shows you havent read the complete article. I have clearly mentioned why Hrithik is ranked ahead of Akshay Kumar although it was very close.

    Let me repeat

    1) Singh is King is still at 61 crores, it still has to reach 72 crores which we have taken as the total gross.

    2) Hrithik has one movie in 2003 and 2004 before the Multiplex era. So a 44 crore Koi Mil Gaya in 2003 might have easily grossed about 80 crores in 2008. Same with Lakshaya, even the first week of Lakshya could have been about 35 - 40 crores which is about one and a half times of its total collections in 2004. Get the point?

    3) Now the main point regarding Solo hits. Get your facts right here.. Hrithik has 3 solo hits which were HUGE in collections. Krrish, KMG, Jodha Akbar.

    Akshay doesnt have even one solo blockbuster. He just has 2 solo hits (Bhool Bhuliyaa and now Singh Is King) Welcome, Heyy Babyy were multistarrers.

    4) We have just taken into count the last 5 movies. So there is no question of Bhagam Bhag and Phir Hera Pheri. Although both BB and PHP were multistarrers. Akshay was not the solo hero.

    Lastly, i would like to see Akshay prove himself in something that is not a mindless comedy. Every movie of his in the last 2 years (except maybe Namaste London) have been mindless comedies. Bhagham Bhag, Welcome, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiya.. all comedies! Tashan (or was it?) wasnt a comedy, it flopped. Jaan-e-mann wasnt a comedy it flopped!

    So my question is can Akshay Kumar do a Chak De India like SRK? Rang De Basanti or Taare Zameen Par like Aamir? Or a Koi Mil Gaya or Jodha Akbar like Hrithik??

    If he manages to do that convincingly and the movie clicks at the boxoffice, Akshay will be remembered 50 years down the line as one of the greatest actors (not star) that India has produced.

    Its a quality movie that will be remembered and watched forever.

    Shahid Kapoor? Haha.. Very good actor, has done very well recently. Slowly growing popularity wise too. He will be right up there in the Top 5 in say about 2 - 3 years from now.

    And whose that at No 3? Akshay Khan? Or did you mean Akshay Kumar ;)

    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.

    indicine team

    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

    Raj, there is no question of being biased. I have clearly given the numbers. They speak volumes..

    I agree with 2 points that you make.

    One, superstars should be able to carry small banners to success. Agreed. But if you take that point seriously, its Aamir Khan who should be at the top! Ashutosh Gowariker and Lagaan was nothing, Aamir made Ashutosh big. Rakesysh Om Prakash Mehra was nothing after Aks, Aamir turned his fortunes around. The banner doesnt matter eventually. Its the actors and directors that make a big movie. E.g UTV makes 2 crore movies with small stars as well as 50 crore movies with big stars..

    If big banners can guarantee a hit.. Then Yash Chopra’s son Uday Chopra should have been the biggest superstar today. Isnt he the son of the leading production house in India? It doesnt work that way. The actor has to be able to first and foremost carry a movie.

    Second point.. Gap between movies. Yes it makes a difference, but as someone mentioned here, Akshay Kumar movies take just one - two months to be made and they are comdies. can a Ghajini / Jodha Akbar / Krrish be made in such a short time? Akshay Kumar himself on Dus Ka Dum said one of his comedy movies Mujshe Shaadi Karogi took just 36 days to shoot.

    Quality movies, with great script, music and sets take a long time to be produced. Scripts like Heyy Babyy, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng can be written in a week. There is no story in the first place, is there?

    Again, back to your gap between two movies comment. Take Rajnikanth for example, he is the biggest star in the country purely by box office power. He makes 1 movie in 2 - 3 years.. So does that get him down the ranking? I guess no.

    I have nothing against Akshay Kumar. He is one of the biggest sensations.. From a chef to India’s biggest superstar, he has achieved the impossible. Would love to read his auto biography but as a Akshay Kumar fan myself i wish he does something more serious. Something that brings the actor out of the star. Its been too many comedies, lets see something more serious on the lines of CDI, Jodha Akbar or RDB / TZP from him now. Wouldnt that make his fans happy? Critical Acclaim as well as box-office success?

    Some were really curious to know about Overseas boxoffice. So here you go, the top box office grossers overseas.

    1) Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (SRK)
    2) Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (SRK, Hrithik)
    3) Om Shanti Om (SRK)
    4) Veer Zaara (SRK)
    5) Don (SRK)
    6) Dhoom 2 (Hrithik)
    7) Jodhaa Akbar (Hrithik)
    8) Devdas (SRK)
    9) Fanaa (Aamir)
    10) Kal Ho Na Ho (SRK)

    So there you go.. SRK is still the star to beat overseas. Top 5 are all SRK movies. He has 7 movies in top 10. Hrithik is second with 3 movies. Aamir is third with 1 movie.

    Akshay Kumar’s Welcome is at 17th place. But he will make it to the Top 10 with Singh Is King :)

    We will create a new topic on the Overseas box-office battle. But unfortunately we cannot club both Indian and Overseas together.

    you failed to see my point. you based your rankings on the actors 5/6 previous films. my point was, if hrithik released several films a year, there is a chance some of them will be flops. so if you then base your rankings on those flop films of hrithik which were released last, you will see hrithik is no longer in your ranking !! so, yes the number of films an actor releases per year will have a bearing on your ranking. that was my point. so your rankings are not really a true evaluation.
    hrithik releases 1 film a year is an advantage to him.

    also, it is common sense that big banners usually churn out hits, as long as the film is well made. if a big named actor does a big banner film, it almost gurantees a hit. that was my point.
    with regards to uday chopra, most people dont know who he is. so they wont go to see the film. whether or not it is a big banner film, wont matter. besides uday chopra does not have what it takes to be a top actor.

    but my point was big banners usually churn out hits, especially if the actor is a big name actor. so all of hrithiks hit films you mentioned were with big banners. can hrithik give hits with mediocre banners ? i doubt it. imagine if akshay was given chances with all these big directors. his films would break all box office records. proof: singh is king - a mediocre film broke all box office opening records.

    so, your ranking is not correct.

    case closed.

    How can you say if Hrithik does 4 - 5 films there could be flops? All could be hits too!

    Also, didnt Akshay have a flop in Tashan? DId it affect his box-office position? One flop once in a while, as long as the actor is delivering hits consistently doesnt matter.

    And what do you mean by Mediocre banners? What is a mediocre banner!? Give me an example

    again you fail to see my point. i was trying to give you examples of why your ranking is fundamentally flawed, by providing legitimate arguments. based on what i have told you, you will see that your ranking cannot possibly stand. also, why choose the last 5 films of the actors ? why not choose the last 2 films ? in which case akshay will come on top. or even still why not choose the last 10 films of the actors ? can you see why your ranking cannot stand ? do you get my point ??

    also, if you dont know what i mean by ‘mediocre’, i suggest you look it up in the english dictionary. it will tell you what the word means.

    fathiya - you are a little girl who does not know how to argue intelligently. you base your thoughts on your personal beliefs and fail comment on things properly. consequently you get frustrated and take it out on other people like myself. and then you get a headache. i suggest you get off this site and then your headache should stop.

And on Eid we always go to the JAMA MASJID and every time we always go there on EID. You know we always meet there hindus, Sikh, christans who take part on Eid and celebrate with us!!!!!!!!

    Hello I am a South Indian and I must say one thing. This is about who is the current king of Bollywood. I agree with Indiacine, it is Hrthik Roshan. Just because Mr. Roshan does not get into Battles like SRK and Akshay about who is king etc. and keeps a low profile doesnt mean he must be ignored. This is the way I see it. Hrthik Roshan is the current king, Akshay Kumar is surging ahead of the pack, and may be king sooon. SRK is all time legend and king for the last 14 years. And worldwide remains the king of bollywood. SRK is definately the Shahenshah of bollywood as he is the Global emporer. And may loose his throne in 2008 to Akshay. Salman is no where. God Tuss great Ho has Flopped, and Amir IKKA Khan is a legend, and makes the most superior movies. However he is not the most popular.

    Raj,

    “Why not Last 2 Films” - Because, you cant judge star power on just the last 2 films.

    “Why not Last 10 Films” - Becuase then we would be going deep into the 90s and early this decade wherein movies used to gross less than 20% of how much it does now, as they werent any multiplexes to bring in the huge bucks.

    The reason we set it as Last 5 films is, its just about right to evaluate star power.

    But then even if we go by the last 2 films. SRK and Hrithik top (their last 2 films combined grossed almost the same). Aamir is 3rd.. Akshay is 4th.

    Do you think you would be really complaining about the listing if we had listed Akshay as the top actor instead of Hrithik, Raj?

    i would have still complained even if you had listed akshay as no.1 , as your listing will remain fundamentally flawed. i could go on and on and give and show you many reasons why your listing is flawed. but i just dont see any point, as it will not make any difference to your opinions.

    hrithik is no way no.1. just giving a few hits with big banners does not make you number 1. can hrithik sell a small budget film with a mediocre director on his own shoulders ? i doubt it.
    the only actor in bollywood that can do that and has done that is akshay. the only actor that ’sells’ in bollywood at present is akshay. hrithik is nowhere near.
    so your listing is incorrect, it has not taken a lot of important factors into account. i can show you many other reasons why your listing is incorrect.

    so your top 5 best actors list is not correct and is flawed.

    anyway, just for a bit of fun, here is my alternative top 5 actors list, which i beleive is the REAL top 5 list, along with the films they acted brilliantly in ! :

    1. mithun chakraborty - (disco dancer, pyari behna, agneepath, hum paanch, ashanti, suraaksha - gunmaster G9, prem pratiggya, taqdeer, baadal)

    2. rajesh khanna - (amar prem, kati patang, anand, apna desh, aap ki kasam, babu, avtaar, kudrat,
    dard, maqsad, haathi mere saathi)

    3. vinod khanna - (qurbani, khoon ki pukar, muqaddar ka sikander, parvarish, inkaar, kudrat, aan milo sajna)

    4. amitabh bhachan - (deewar, sholay, zanjeer, muqaddar ka sikander, namak haram, agneepath, amar akbar anthony, naseeb, suhaag, coolie)

    5. dilip kumar - (ganga jamuna, dil diya dard liya, mughal- e- azam, kranti, karma, aan,)

    so, there you go.

    Indicine Team: You r absolutely right, but this guy (Raj) doesn’t want to giveup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Raj.. I think u r not (Raj) I think u r Akshay Kumar himslef, therefore, u don’t want to give up and u r insisting that u r the number (1)!!!!

    Or.. if u r not Akshay himself, then u must be one of his relatives or close friends!!!

    What u say all the time ( and repeatedly) doesn’t make any sense!!!! And.. don’t ask me to go.. u hv all the right to post your comments, so do I!!

    I think Raj is partially correct…………here I think he want to tell about the directors and production house which were not at the top spots untill unless they worked with Akshay Kumar. And one thing I would like to agree with him about the star power, ofcourse Akshay has a great star power and that’s why most of the films on which he has worked were not well scripted or not at all a class movie and only because of his presence those movies got a historical openings and after opening it’s totally upto film (good or bad) which makes it superhit or Blockbuster.

    By saying above para it doesn’t mean I am trying to take away any credits from other top actors, Sharukh and Hrithik’s undoubtly having a similar star power. Following are the facts I would like to present and then let other’s decide who’s is where:

    1. “Chak De India” opening was not like what Sharukh’s movies used to, but since it was a great movie so after Mouth publicity it got a historic run. Same was the case with TZP. But after Chak de India Sharukh got the same position (stardom) which helped “Om Shanti Om” a bumper opening. So Undoubtly Sharukh again on the top notch.

    2. Amir Khan is a person who always brings a new ideas and thoughts through his movies and he is the only person in the film industry who have the capability to do something unique, Large and Innovative that helps indian Cinema to achieve new Dimensions in Art. So his class is totally different. Please don’t compare him with anyone. He is an artist rather than a star.

    3. Akshay Kumar - Currently no one is enjoying the stardom as like Akshay kumar in the industry. And who says he is not an actor. Doing comedy roles is not an easy job and I think it’s the toughest job any actor has to do. He is brillient in it and that’s why he is paying for it. What contents were there in the movies like “Phir Heera Phiri”, “Hey Baby”, “Welcome” and even in “Singh is King”. But only because of his presence these movies becomes hits and superhits. There is no doubt people love to see his presence on screen. And whether it’s multi starrer or solo, it’s only Akshay kumar for whom public comes to watch movies.

    I do agree with you Shy.. Harman, as a debutant, was given a difficult role in his movie LS2050, he just needs little experience to improve his dialogue delivery, that’s all, but as a hero, he’s perfect. I got the same feeling too, that he’ll be on top one day.

    well among the top 5 actors i think it should be aamir khan at number 1. but no one seems to be talking bout him. well aamir seldom does a movie. that too over a period of 1-2 years min, mainly with unknown directors at that point of time like rakesh omprakash mehra(rang de basanti), farhan akhtar(debut film) and if i may include some of his previous movies ghulam(vikram bhatt’s debut movie), sarfarosh(john mathhew mathan’s debut movie),lagaan (debut movie of ashutosh), i think he should be at number 1 judghing by the amount of risks he takes and still is able to deliver superhit movies.
    i know many people over here may disagree saying only the last 5 years is being considered but didn’t just anyone say in his/her comments below that a star is remembered down the line for the movies he made and not for the money.
    shahrukh khan fans are goin to kill me with the no of hits prior to the five years. but remember tht most of his films even in tht period was with established directors and producers.
    so the point being stop fighting over akshay and shahrukh khan

    actually we’v got2 consider dhoom 2 also 2 be a solo hit of hrithik as if we watch it keenly we find hrithik to be the hero abhishek, uday were all just the cops doing the same thing which they did in dhoom i surely will agree with the rest of it(the listing)except for salmaan should not be in this list instead shaahid would have been a better competor

    Sangida: You are right, as Salman didn’t do any good movies lately except (Partner) which was also a pass time movie, but Shahid Kapoor did 3 good movies, Vivah, Jab We Met & Kismat Konnection.

If he does, then let me know now, at this moment and I will quit, or if other nationalities r not allowed and shouldn’t share their opinions with others and this website is meant to be (only) for Indian nationalities, so I’m sorry, I didn’t know that!!

    I didn’t swear or harmed his parents, never said any bad words that I deserve to hear what he said!!! and what do u expect Indicine Team?!! To hear what I heard and then keep quiet?!! Did I ever, since I joined this website used any bad language except now, after I heard all those words?!! What do u expect?? Someone tell u ( a whore) or ( a prostitute) and then keep quiet?!! See the reactions of others, after my message, humiliating Raj, how was the reaction of some Indian as they replied and (maybe) they didn’t read Raj’s comments as it was deleted!!! That was exactly my reaction.. if u guys disrespect me.. so don’t expect anything better!!

    I have a suggestion ( if u don’t want any people from other nationalities share their opinions about movies or filmstars with u), just tell your producers, when they sell their movies aborad, to other countries as million of Indians are living everywhere, to put a big board at the enterance of any cinema and mention the following:

    THESE MOVIES ARE MEANT FOR INDIANS ONLY.. OTHER NATIONALITIES AREN’T ALLOWED TO WATCH INDIAN MOVIES.. OTHER NATIONALITIES AREN’T ALLOWED TO CRITISCISE OUR MOVIES.. OTHER NATIONALITIES AREN’T ALLOWED TO ADMIRE OR DISLIkE OUR ACTORS… OTHER NATIONALITIES AREN’T ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO INDIAN MUSIC..

    And then.. no other nationalities would ever visit your websites to express their opinion about anything, or watch your movies!!

    Fathiya, please stick to normal case i.e Smaller case. Uppercase is difficult to read.

    Comments that were personal have been deleted. So Fathiya, please cool down. This site is for everyone who is passionate about movies. Who love to read and discuss on movies, boxoffice and stars. So go ahead, avoid getting personal with anyone. If someone is too abusive, just ignore and report the comment. We will take care of it.

    Raj mate, please cool down. This is just a list of the current top 5 actors. If you are interested in writing something fair on boxoffice from your point of view, your free to do so. We will publish it with your name on the site provided it is fair and makes sense to us.
