Most successful Bollywood actors 1990 – 1999

We finally have the analysis of the most successful actors between 1990 – 1999. It’s a decade that marked the rise of the three Khans, while Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar were growing their fanbase and delivering quite a few hits in between.

Salman Khan leads in every category – highest net collections, success ratio, hit ratio and the best average per film. He also has the highest grosser and the most watched film of the 90s in Sooraj Barjatya’s Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.

Salman and Shah Rukh are the only two actors to average more than 10 crore plus per film.

Most number of films:

  • Akshay Kumar – 42 films
  • Ajay Devgn –  33 films
  • Salman Khan – 29 films
  • Shah Rukh Khan –  28 films
  • Aamir Khan – 23 films

Total Net Collections for each actor between 1990 - 1999:

  • Salman Khan – 375 crore
  • Shah Rukh Khan – 327 crore
  • Ajay Devgn –  221 crore
  • Akshay Kumar - 196 crore
  • Aamir Khan –  186 crore

Average net box office collections per film between 1990 - 1999

  • Salman Khan –  12.9 crore
  • Shah Rukh Khan –  11.7 crore
  • Aamir Khan –  8.1 crore
  • Ajay Devgn - 6.7 crore
  • Akshay Kumar – 4.7 crore

Success Ratio i.e Above Average or better

  • Salman Khan – 52%
  • Shah Rukh Khan – 39%
  • Ajay Devgn –  36%
  • Aamir Khan – 35%
  • Akshay Kumar - 24%

Hit Ratio i.e Hit or Better

  • Salman Khan – 45%
  • Shah Rukh Khan – 32%
  • Aamir Khan – 22%
  • Ajay Devgn – 18%
  • Akshay Kumar - 10%

Note: We haven’t included two prolific actors – Sunny Deol and Govinda – in the list. Deol was a superstar, even though he wasn’t very consistent at the box office. He had quite a few hugely successful films like Border, Darr, Zindi and Ghatak, just to name a few. Govinda delivered several hits with David Dhawan and was one of the most popular and successful actors of the 90s. We are currently in the process of retrieving data from old film magazines. We are also working with a well-known trade analyst to rectify the 90s data, which isn’t as accurate as we’d want it to be at the moment.

  • @ANK great reply bro. This @Sunny alcoholic is the most silly, childish, stubborn, spoiled kid who doesn’t have any manners, doesn’t respect any big star apart from akshay sir (whom I respect a lot) and always bashes great actors like Ajay sir, hrithik sir, etc. He is indeed a very spoiled kid with no brain of how to talk, how to respect indicine visitors, and just goes on. Do you ever see how many dislikes he gets almost everytime he comments? He is the no. 1 in terms of dislikes. He is so jealous of ajay and hrithik that he van never talk or even think good about them. Always unnecessarily bashes and uses cheap language against them and disrespects their contribution to indian cinema. Although I am not akshay fan but still I respect him a lot because I can’t bash any other superstar just for the sake of his own stubborn, spoiled cheap fans. Thanks for showing this loser what he deserves.

  • @TIGER I only praised Aamir. It was this chameleon @Anand the original blue film DVD who blabbered on Aamir. Zyada shana mat bano. Your other mates like @Salman khan king khan, @Sandy have also been bashing Aamir even though he is biggest megastar ever. So you better shut their mouth up first and then talk to me.

  • One important analysis is during 90’s Salman used to play good supporting role and thats why he has more hits. But his contribution was overshadowed by Sunjay Dutt in Saajan, Madhuri in HAHK, Sunny in Jeet etc.. The only movie which worked wonder for him was Maine Pyaar kiya Which was 1989 release and shouldn’t be counted in this decade. He was pure an average actor and no solo big hits. Even KKHH was SRK movie. He is actually rediscoverafter 2010 and truly became the undisputed super star of current decade.

  • @hrithik,@tiger,Yeah WE’RE accepting all the facts of boi.com,if you can accept bhai was behind KING KHAN in —-LAST DECADE+THIS DECADE+ALL TIME.

    and here is the proof

    KING KHAN IS NO.1 IN 90’S.

    http://www.boxofficeindia.com/hit-down-actor.php?txtYearlyData=1990-1999

    KING KHAN IS NO.1 IN LAST DECADE.

    http://www.boxofficeindia.com/hit-down-actor.php?txtYearlyData=2000-2009

    And last not but not least

    THE BIGGEST ACTOR+MEGASTAR OF ALL TIME—-THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD

    http://www.boxofficeindia.com/hit-down-actor.php

    ha ha ha ha,now it’s proved your lallu is nowhere near compared to the feet of THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.

    @hrithik,WE agreed all the facts of that boi tells.because ALL WE want now is verdict.

    So bitter TRUTH by boi.com

    KING KHAN has—10 blockbuster

    also sallu has—-10 blockbuster

    Along with above facts.

    And so what if HNY didn’t crossed 200CR so as prdp also didn’t crossed 200CR,what about that?????,rofl.

    It doesn’t matter for all because what WE need is verdict,which boi.com did justice.

    Just like how until today you hated and criticized indicine for OPENING OF HNY and supported boi.com like a double standard chameleons.

    Then why can’t WE do the same now bikiniwales?????

    @hrithik,coming from THE FOOTPATH,TAKING RISK like A TRUE WARRIOR IN OFFBEAT GENRE IN CAREER’S BOT PEAK AND DOWN PERIOD,KING KHAN proved already THAT HE IS ABOVE ALL,no one can even touch even feet too.

    and in such a country like India where talent doesn’t matters and many talentless non actor can also becomes big star’s with countless masala films ,still in such a country THE BADSHAH/KING OF BOLLYWOOD GAVE HIGHEST CLASSICS FILMS SUCCESS with out showing masala elements in most of HIS MOVIES.

    THIS proved salman is a formula masaala method used non actor who was survived in supporting role in family+multistarrer movies in last two decades with out taking a simple and single risk.still he hasess success and much more flops than KING KHAN.

    KING KHAN—-SUCCESS>>>>>>>>>>failure

    lallu—-failure>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>success

    lallu is just like many of the talentless kid of a rich established filmy family.

    WHILE KING SRK IS THE BIGGEST BORN SELFMADE GLOBAL MEGASTAR WHO RULED EACH AND EVERY DECADE with out struggling a bit like A TRUE KING AND ROARED THROUGH OUT WHOLE CAREER.

    THE BUGGEST BORN ACTOR+MEGASTAR OF THE GENERATION.A BORN MEGALEGEND.

    sallu can’t even compared to HIS SUCCESS,HIS MONEY POWER,HIS POPULARITY,HIS CLASS,HIS TALENT,HIS WIT,IQ,KNOWLEDGE,PRESENCE OF MIND in upcoming 100000 birth.remind this always chaddiwale/bikiniwale roadside rikshawpullers,you and your star has no aukat in front of US.

    GENERATION RULER KING SRK RULES BOLLYWOOD SINCE 1992-FOREVER.

  • @indicine we all know today everyone especially media want something sensational and you are also one of them but there is a limit for kuch v it not make sense if you say sun is not sun it’s moon?? same this type of attention maker news making no senselike srk was behind salman in 90’s i don’t understand why everybody in soo hurry in making sensational news firstyou have to recheck your dataif you continusly do this type of irresponsible act than trust me you lost lots of the logical people

    @hrithik which shame you talking about abusing woman,doing crime??? or making nasty comment like rape comment , yakub bhakti?? youcame on this post too late and how shamefully ?? you paltu person always show your’s double standard you always said that BOI collection than go and watch your’s soo called occasionally changed papa also mention srk at 90’s decade and 2000’s decade boss if you unable to find link than check above some of myfrnds post links tooeven if we take indicine datasrk is everywhere in every decades and what’s best part he is topping recent decade inspite of facing worst phase of his carrer he is most consistent star of all time forgot awards and overseas bcoz it make him beyond reach..

    you have also remember that newcomer hrithik kick him out from top three sorry he not even top 5 in 2000- 2009 we can say that he was and his fan went somewhere on pluto that time he is a decade struggler star so don’t bark kuch v

    doodh ka doodh paani ka paani not suits u it is like wineka wine and pani ka pani bcozit’s your star favourite lol ;) and in future if u want argue with me than will came with fact bcoz my time is precious

  • @Rubal : If HAHK success is only because of Madhuri then DDLJ and KKHH success only due to Kajol. OSO, CE and HNY are hits due to Deepika !!!!!!!!!!!! You people will never accept reality because you are shortage of Courage which cannot be seen in any SRK fan. They follow their idol, just spread the false things and create a buzz to trick people believe in illusions. But how far? Now everything is opened and clear about the fake queen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Putting ajay above amir despite the fact that Amir hit ratio and average is way better than ajay.

    Success ratio of both is almost same…! STUPID

    And talking about Akshay. He did 40 movies and still gave 10 clean hits and many successful movies .

    Amir and hrithik total movies in 2000 to 2009 = Akshay successful films ?

    Akshay ruled in this phase along with SRK!

  • Sunny Rustom if you are talking about hit ratio Akki has ever been even in top 4 or 5. You say :-@ANK should use hit ratio but in present 2010 indicine confirmed Ajay has better hit ratio and blockbuster 2010-date. Using your logic remember. Shut up never compare their acting capabilities. Ajay is a far superior actor than Akki. He had guys to do parallel cinema,doing movie for friends,house production just to explore his acting. Don’t you get it. All movies they acted together everybody knows who was lead and 2nd lead even in Akki lucky era. Khakee Insaan was all Ajay.
    @ANK you are right check it anywhere Akki was always staying in single standard bed hotels while Saif and Suniel were always in Business room deluxe.
    And what about holiday releases EDX?Salman owner of Eid
    Ajay-Srk Diwali
    Aamir Xmas.
    Trade pundits need that very importantly

  • About Fan followers don’t you get it? Do you know what an honour it is to be associated with khan then and even saying both Aj Akki had huge fan base and talk about him having no fans. He is not a social media guy that’s his problem.

  • Imdicime if you are to revise this verdicts be fair. 4 of Salman movies of 90s don’t deserve hit status. 2 movies of Aksh deserve hit status even though the 2nd one he was the supporting actor. Srk 2 verdicts are more than average 6 of his films are all semi hit to hit. Agree or not this is from boi forum stats
    Actors with highest success ratios 90s

    Sunny paji
    Ajay Devgn/Srk
    Salman
    Govinda
    Anil
    Jackie

    Akki is last

  • For heaven’s sake how can Salman success ratio be higher than Shah Rukh and Ajay devgn in 90s. Never no way.
    I May only agree him in no.2 for best classic 90 songs after SRK and before Ajay

  • Rstom this is getting to immature. How can you say thAt to @ANK. He is freaky right dude I also think ajay devgn frustration is worrying you. If you can agree he was the big stars of 90s as you agree then use your brains by knowing that he could have continued with commercial cinemas but he engaged himself with art movies like Zakhm ,gangajal, dil kya kare, tlobs even post 2005 with omkara rain coat,apaharan halal bol,yuva etc he chose to do both parallel as someone mentioned he was rewarded with National awards. He came back to commercials in 2010 and was the profitable actor of the year. Be smart dude

  • Had people like @Ajay rocks maintained I promised I would have not said some bad things on Ajay Devgn. Truly from depth of my heart I respect that gentleman. I can stand by him between he patched up with Gauri Khan and King.

  • @hritk in reply to @Resham
    mr. Hritik, if u cant give lofic then at least give a sensible reply. What @Resham meant is clear. Kuch Kuch hota hai is not a Salman movie. By tge way not only Mnumbai CFC, highcourt verdicts in Chinkara and hit and run cant be fully trusted too.
    Anyway, I have a huge respect to Salman, but its unfair to include KKHH cameo in this list.

  • @hrithik-Blockbuster ratio is never used for ranking. If so then where is the blockbuster ratio of 90’s? It was done because Indicine wanted to save Lallu’s back. If Lallutards try to say 90’s was Lallu’s decade according to Indicine then we’ll say this decade is SRK’s decade according to Indicine and Varun Dhawan is a bigger star than Lallu and currently Lallu is just a media-made star. Huh, media always runs what sales. That proves that Lallu was insalable in the 90’s. And Box Office India has the best understanding about box office. Four-five glitches on BOI doesn’t matter and no site can be perfect. We SRKians aren’t here because Indicine’s analysis is perfect, we are here and everywhere to support SRK. And for your information whether it’s Indicine or BOI all agree that SRK is the most successful actor of all time.

  • @hrithik-And don’t talk rubbish about Jai Ho and Ra-one. At least SRK isn’t stealing others’ credit like Lallu is stealing with HAHK and KKHH. If Lallu had any credit in KKHH then Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega would have been an ATBB which had SRK in cameo.

  • @ hrithik, CE boi figure is 208 crore and not 206.so u believe in boi figures.then you also have to believe that Krrish 3 boi figure is 188 crore including all versions.and there is 50+ crore difference between its boi and producer figures.

  • @ANK great fitting reply to that spoiled kid @Rustom sunny akkiholic. He just doesn’t have anything calied dignity, respect, mannera, and how to respect superstars and great actors who have achieved almost everything in the industry. He is just a trash.

  • Dear Sandy…..am not saying if salman give one flop his career will be over….i said his stardom drastically fade away….same thing will not happen to SRK…..bcz you know SRK is much a head in actiing but you wont accept….SRK can turn the table any time soon but same will not happen SK…i do like Sallu and respect him…but his fan base mainly are aggresive if he fails they will put him down..
    SRK fan base more or less mixed so loyal fans will countinued to admire him….
    and Amir nothing infront of two…he is fanless star….depend on each every factor…..story, director, supporting actors….many more…if one dept is unfavorable it will be MANGAL PANDEY or THE LAASH…..

    see Prem Ratan or HNY is bad movie but SK and SRK stardom plus holidays help them to sustain to get Hit status…same cannot be say with Amir.

    Those who bark why we are counting 1990 and 1991 bcz this is injustice to SRK who still to be debut….and Sallu had Saajan 1991 BB and Amir had DIL BB (both of them big heroine MAdhuri) Nadeem shravan music surely it will affect in AVG..if you little brain use logic.

  • Hahaha… According to loongiwalas SRK’s success ratio & hit ratio is better Salman in this decade (2010 onwards). Let’s see…..

    Srk’s total no of releases- 8.
    Hit or better- 6 (except Dilwale & Fan).
    Hence, Hit ratio- 75%.
    Above avg+ – 7 movies (except Fan).
    Hence, success ratio- 85%.

    Bhai’s total no of releases- 11.
    Hit or better- 9 movies (except Veer & Jai Ho).
    Hence, hit ratio- 82%.
    Above avg or better- 10 movies (except Veer).
    Hence, success ratio- 92%.

    Hit ratio:
    Bhai (82%)>>>>> srk (75%).

    Success ratio:
    Bhai (92%>>>>>>srk (85%).

    All loongiwalas, do you have any explanation how/ why does srk’s hit ratio and success ratio bcm better than Bhai???
