The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is the biggest movie website on the planet, receiving millions of visitors every day. One of the best features on the website is the ‘IMDb Rating’, which is based on user votes and reviews.
Movies that are rated above 8 are considered to be classics and anything above 6.5 is a good rating.

once upon a time dobra has 4.9/10.
Joker: 2.5/10
Entertainment: 2.5/10 ……how an earth is this possible?? If it were up to me, those movies wouldn’t even get 0.1/10 . I can’t stand those movies
Rating no rating critics it doesn’t change Salman stardom he doesn’t got any Filmfare national awards so what but look at the love of people extraordinary can anyone match it??
When it comes to Quality you found Aamir at top, when it comes to hardcore masala flick you find him at top with Ghajini, when comes to domestic,overseas rating you found him top.
All hail Aamir khan.
@sht no imdb is crap website, the ranking should be decided by Indicine poll where CE>3i, Con 2 >> pk, Jthj,ra1,hny is better than barfi,bomb,ghajini,Dabamgg,agnerpath etc. Or we should trust on Twitter where #hny best film ever. How can we forget the importance of imdb where @iamnanga went to post his fake review of pk and got thrashed there. @sht even though 3 films of Aamir is not top 250, his 2 films is still there where whole Bollywood absent while Aamir stand with 3i and lagaan both ultimate classic successful film. 3i has been rated 1.65lac votes, tell imdb to remove that film. Yes lagaan is boring film for srkians that why mnik struggled hit in India, swades flop, dil se,paheli,asoka was flop completely. We srkians knows only yrf churned cdi success, and remake devdas.lol.
@challa baseless point, Aamir is always doing less commercial films than srk due to his 1 film at a time policy, he dies less films and his films has more appeal than srk when it comes to classic in recent times.
8+ rated Aamir films.
3i,tzp,dch,lagaan,AAA,rdb,pk,jjws,sarfarosh – total 9 films.
7.5+ films.
QSQT,Earth,Raakh,rangeela,him hai rahi pyar k- 5 films.
7+ films.
Ghajini,talaash,fanaa,dhobhi ghat,ghulam,dil h ki manta nahi, Akele hum ajele tum- 7 films.
So 21 films of Aamir out of 39 films of his career stand 7+ imdb rating. He has good to bad film ratio. Its a fact.
SRK’s best rated films ever

party time aamir fans,
true superstar in the bollywood cinema feeling proud, quality work,record domestic &overseas collections,unique &sucessfull tv show,social awarness ,oscar nomination,padambhusan etc etc.our AK is on top in every field . even highly bashed(by some king fan) talaash is 7.2 better than their so called classic ,stylish bla bla don-2 7.1 hahahaha LOL
aamir what u have said u did it “bachha kaabil bano kabil , kamiyaabi to jakh marke peeche bhagegii”
@nipun…r u really mad buddy…if u not seen original gabbar then u like it..even everyone like it….and akki always gives his best perfomance in every movies…we all known this…..aur baby ka review na dene se hi behatar hoga…
@Navin mutant:
What is this jadoo boy or joker boy..can’t u spell properly.
If knph is hrithik’s last film and that was good and bcoz of ameesha Patel’s charm as u put it
Then I think salman’s last good film was HAHK…and that too bcoz of madhuri dixit’s charm.
r u serious? don2 rating 7.1? player was far better than this crap don2. PK 8.4? copy of omg movie. talaash 7.1? one cid episode is far better than this crap talaash movie.
Okey, first of all i don’t believe in IMDB as i have watched many great hollywood movies than the top rated IMDB movies but those movies are not even in top 250 even while some of worst movies are in the same list which makes me stop believing in them, even they have given less rating to many of B’wood class movies but has given huge rating to some of the most overrated, shit movies of B’wood .. 2nd Why only 5 movies? 3rd these 2010 born chotu fans are jumping so let me explain something to them..
SRK has twelve – 8 + movies & Aamir has nine movies – SRK won, Aamir lost.
SRK has five 7.5 + movie & Aamir four movies – SRK won, aamir lost.
SRK has seventeen 7 + movies & Aamir eleven movies – SRK won, aamir lost.
SRK has six 6.5 + movies & Aamir three movies – SRK won, amir lost.
SRK has eleven 6 + movie & Aamir five movies – SRK won, aamir lost.
SRK has one 5.5 + movie & Aamir has also one movie..
SRK has six 5 + movies & Aamir just two movies – SRK won, Aamir lost.
SRK has five 4.5 + movies & Aamir 0 movie – SRK won, Aamir lost.
SRK has six 4 + movies & Aamir 0 movie – SRK won, Aamir lost.
SRK has zero 3.5 movie & Aamir has one movie – SRK won, Aamir lost.
SRK has zero 3 + movie & Aamir has one movie – SRK won, Aamir lost.
– SRK lowest rated movie (4.3) & Aamir lowest rated movie (3.8) (SRK lost, and Aamir won here but in terms of giving lowest rated movies.. LOL.. if Aamir has highest Rated movie then he has also many lowest rated movie (S), if giving highest rated movie make him better than giving countless of lowest rated movie (s) makes him flop, worst, 2RS, 2010 born, 9 hits disaster actor ever. HAHA…
and SRK has zero 3.5 + or 3 + movie on IMDB while Aamiri has one 3.5 movie and one 3 + movie.. Aamir – the FLOP ACTOR EVER..
Didn’t compare with the worst actor of India Bhojpuri Bhaijaan as he is not even in competition with anyone here bec even Maya Memsaab (5.6 + ) has better rating than the worst actor of India Bhojpuri Bhaijaan’s some of his recent classic movies ( acc to his bhojpuri fans) Bodyguard (4.4), Ready (4.7), Dabangg 2 (4.9), Ek Tha Tiger ( 5.3), Jai ho (5.6), Kick (5.6), Veer ( 4.7).. even SRK’s Maya Memsaab has better rating than all Guilty Salman’s movies in this decade except Bajrangi & Dabangg which is lil bit ahead. HAHAHA… i don’t have list of all his movies in last decade but still Quite sure Maya Memsaab has better rating than all Motu’s movies in last decade as well except 1 or may be 2 movies.. ROFL.. so now it would be a big, big, big insult to compare that bhojpuri actor like Motu with Iconic & international Star like KING OF BOLLYWOOD SHAH RUKH KHAN…
@SSS – Same opinion.. agree with you once again…
Poor Ajay Fan is whining desperately even though he knows Akki is a far bigger star than Ajay!
Even in his worst phase Akki was ahead of Ajay..
Success ratio of Akki >> Ajay even after doing so many movies
Akki has more than 2 times the no. of followers on Twitter than Ajay.
Twitter followers of Abhishek Bachchan >>>Ajay Devgn,hahahaha
Mark my words,Drishyam won’t get a better opening than Baby..Both thrillers,Baby didn’t had a lead heroine,music but still Drishyam won’t get past it.
I would have given negative ratings to Action Crapson,Himmatwala,Son of sardaar if I had an option like that on IMDB.
Thanks to Rohit Shetty,otherwise our Ajay devgn would have been playing Dadaji,Papaji of Varun Dhawan,Arjun,Sid..lol
@rew1 : You agree with Navin uncle and looks like his keen follower..that is enough to know your standard,aukaat,class!!
Emraan at 7th ! his movies are always good …especially HAK
@Ajay rocks:: Go and watch those 2 films again! It was Akki who was the superior in Special 26..in OMG his screen time was less but it was his presence which made the film popular,otherwise it would have passed and no one would have cared to watch it.
Just watching that classic Salman Khan/ Sana Saeed/ Kajol starrer KKHH on star gold. Second half of the movie starting now n the pace has significantly picked up with bhai jaans presence. First half we skipped as too much ott going on.
north or south, east ya west everywhere Aamir is the best. salute u sir u r real king of bollywood every one wants quality cinema like u.
@babaji, you are right both Baby and drishyam are thrillers but don’t forget Baby had the advantage of the big holiday (Republic Day) on Monday while Drishyam will not get anything n its going to get a compatition from a bb so its unfair to compare Baby wid Drishyam.
btw, if twitter followers count then I would be a celebrity as I have more than 2 thousand followers ??
@imchaman:
Bhai’s poorly rated movies like dabang, ett, bodyguard etc thrashed king’s highly rated cccontent rich classics like don2, jthj, ra one etc. And Bhai’s well rated BB gonna thrash your king’s multistarer hny’s lifetime collections within 1st week…Too much fun.
@antman 1:43am
HAHK is still a great watch even after 21yrs n YES madhuris charm can still leave the audience in a right old state as that smile will make you forget all your worldly troubles.
As for Ameesha- she was just unlucky coz she didnt have her daddy on standby to relaunch her sinking career in the same way jadoo boy had with his papa who ralaunched him time n time again again n again…!
OMG was Paresh Rawals movie all the way n noone believed Joker Boys crappy act as Bhagwaan just like noone believes kSHITij is some kind of swami/ babuji…! Waste of Space yes but thats it…!
not correct.krish3(5.5) is better than ek tha tiger(5.3)?no,never.we,salman fans,are happy with jai ho(5.6)ek tha tiger(5.3)if hrithik is happy to do guzarish(7.4).i know hrithik does better films than salman bcz he does less films.salman has to(must) do two avg films for his brothers in every 4-5years just as hrithik has to(must) do krish3.
hands down every1 can’t beat @amir khan in quality….class actor by far..
hands down every1 can’t beat @amir khan in quality….class actor by far..Salman-amir andaz apna apna-8.8

@Rew1 I think you never check facts and try to downgrade akki, I respect ajay but as you said akshay has most disters so just check here,
Akshay kumar –
Disasters – 13 out of which 10 were bofore 2000, because he doesn’t have industry connection he did many small fil
ms, while after 2000 he has just 3 disasters, his last disaster was 8*10 tasveer which releases 6 years ago since than not a single disaster out of 22releases.
Ajay devgn –
Total disasters – 17
before 2000 – 4
after 2000 – 13
his last disaster was tezz , 2012 relese and 6 films ago.
Now check hit and success rate-
Akshay –
hit rate – 19.4 % 103 films
Succeas rate – 33 %
Ajay-
hit rate – 16.9 % 89 films
success rate – 24.7 %.
