Bollywood churns out the maximum number of movies every year, but only one of them beats all others and becomes the biggest grosser of the year.
Salman Khan – SRK – Aamir Khan – Hrithik Roshan – Sunny Deol
Delivering the biggest grosser of the year also means your movie is watched by the maximum number of people in that particular year on the big screen. In this day and age, with prices of movie ticket soaring, piracy and various options for entertainment (like television), it’s tough to bring audiences to theatres.
Hence, topping the ‘biggest grosser list’ is nothing short of a major achievement. Below is a list of all major actors today and the count of the biggest grossers of the year to their credit. (Last 25 years only):
| Salman | Aamir | SRK | Hrithik | Sunny |
| Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989) | Dil (1990) | DDLJ (1995) | Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (2000) | Border (1997) |
| Saajan (1991) | Raja Hindustani (1996) | Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) | Koi Mil Gaya (2003) | Gadar (2001) |
| Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994) | Ghajini (2008) | Devdas (2002) | Dhoom 2 (2006) | |
| Hum Saath Saath Hain (1999) | 3 Idiots (2009) | Veer Zaara (2004) | ||
| No Entry (2005) | Dhoom 3 (2013) | Om Shanti Om (2007) | ||
| Dabangg (2010) | PK (2014) | |||
| Bodyguard (2011) | ||||
| Ek Tha Tiger (2012) | ||||
| Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) |
Some interesting unknown facts:

- Salman has delivered Top 2 biggest grossers of the year three times. Hum Saath Saath Hain and Biwi No. 1 in 1999, Bodyguard and Ready in 2011, Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2 in 2012 (expected).

@adi if you talk about salman success than salman has most all time blockbuster, most blockbusters, opening day record, non festive opening record, opening weekend record, non festive opening weekend record, first week record, three day weekend record, fatest hundred crores record, highest collection in one day record and now even most highest grosser record and i didnt even know about this.
dont worry about success, first tell all other actors to even come close to this record breaking history, then compare other actors with salman.
Salman never get lifetime grossers
when he got 200cr that day before Aamir wil got 300cr with peekay/Dhoom 3
becasue Salman khan Follow Aamir khan”
Salman khan says that”
First call Salman to get One Best Actor Awards then talk
2nd call Salman to releses At last One Film with compitision any actor film (Aamir,Srk,aksay,hrittik)
then talk
Salman Khan is great crowd puller but not a quality actor.
Dabangg 2 collecting even 150 is a sign of worry for salman camp
No entry and kuch kuch hota hai …are not salman films…..dont take cameos

main aur mrs Khanna was a DISASTER. Salman fans will cry and say its not salman movie. No entry is a top grosser of the year. Salman fans will shout and say it’s a salman movie.
@imtiaz : how is it gonna benefit you by pulling Salman? If you believe SRK n Aamir r better than Salman why their movies r collecting lesser than Salman movies?
It is a slap on salman haters. He has 3 top grossers before so called king SRK was born in DDLJ…. :D
This is the power of Salmania.
Now haters will say all salman’s Blockbusters are multi-starrers:
Dabangg has Arbaaz Khan
Ek Tha Tiger has Ranvir Shorey
Bodyguard has Raj Babbar n Aditya Panscholi… Lolzzz
keep barking Haters!!!!
@indicine,plz check,devdas was not d biggest grosser of 2002,it was RAAZ…
@xzone: no ahmed is not comparing shreyas of OSO with Sanjay of Saajan, he is comparing Shreyas wid Fardeen of No entry & Sanjay of Saajan wid Rishi Kapoor of Deewana
look at srk fans.. feel sorrie for them.. i told earlier srk fans deserve an award for making xcuses… nw i thnk they should get an oscar for making xcuses. always comin up with so many lame reasons..
@team indicine: in 1999 BIWI no.1 was the highest grossser not hum saath saath hain
@xzone: if hum saath saath hain & saajan r multistarrers den in DEEWANA Rishi Kapoor played the main lead whereas in KARAN ARJUN no clear main lead but dese films are credited in SRK’s account by indicine as year’s 2nd highest grossers now u dnt hv any prblm????????????????????
sunny deol is much better actor and star thn hritik…..becoz sunny paaji donnt hav dad spoon feedin………/
xzone,velocity etc frustrated souls…..
@aki:
Wait for 3-4 years. Let salman make it 10 then you can make a frame. What you say?
X zone i taught u wil accept the truth not like who always show thier jealous but u proved it u all Srk fans are same cheap shameless fans ever its not ur fault ur Srk also a same shameless actor who accept it givin stupid reasons and tags . .
Ya biwi no. 1 top grosser in 99 check it out indi cine. .
Biggest biggest joke in universe that monish behl was lead in hssh and he is main reason to films hit . . Haha
X zone when some take name of sajan or no entry the name salman is remembered . . If u have a problem in this y the hel u take credit to Srk in multi starer like khnh k3g dewana kkhh and many more . .
Srk fans say salu fans are illiterate . . Haha just check it out 1st comments some idiot Srk fan had posted overseas list in this domestic article see this off topic hw literate there Srk fans are rite . .
oh boy, really bahi is the biggest superstar of bollywood ever. No one can come near bahi in his stardom , i must say that sallu is rally a trendsetter . what a gangatic persona this man has and last but not least helper of poor people a great trait of ,bahi…
As far i know the name of lead character in Rajshri films is Prem.
You can check all films from MNPK to Vivah.
And in MNPK,HAHK & HSSH Salman is Prem.
In No Entry Salman leading with Anil & Fardeen in support & if not so why makers planning sequal with Salman by giving all priority to him.
In Sajan both Sanjay & Salman had equal roles.
If all these films are not Salman leads then how Deewana is Srk film in which he enters on screen after interval & Darr with Sunny Deol as hero & Srk as villian.
SOLO Blockbuster vs MULTI-STARRER Blockbuster !!
Sallu 5
SRK 5
Hrithik: 2 (Dhoom 2 was clearly a Multi-starrer)
Hum Saath Saath Hai was Multi-starrer. NOT SOLO Sallu Blockbuster!. Saif walked away with footage.
Saajan: again MULTI-STARRER Blockbuster. Sanju Baba got more credit than Sallu.
NO ENTRY: again a Multi-Starrer Superhit !
SRK SOLO Blockbusters: DDLJ, KKHH, Devdas, Veer-Zara, OSO.
Sallu SOLO Blockbusters: HAHK, MPK, Dabanng, Bodyguard, ETT.
Hrithik SOLO Blockbusters: KMG, Kaho Na Pyar hai.
