Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated return in Mangal Pandey took a bumper opening, but eventually crashed at the box-office. In 2005, Katrina Kaif delivered her first hit!

Year 2006 – Hrithik Roshan was the box-office king in 2006 as two of his films – Dhoom 2 and Krrish  did blockbuster business. Sanjay Dutt and Rajkumar Hirani’s second Munnabhai film was the most loved film of the year. It was also the year that started the trend of sequels.

Dhoom 2

  • 3. Krrish – 69.25 crores – Blockbuster

Year 2007 – Once again the year belonged to Shahrukh Khan with two blockbusters – Om Shanti Om and Chak De India. It was during this time that Akshay Kumar started delivering back-to-back hits. Salman Khan returned to the big league with Partner.

Om Shanti Om

  • 1. Om Shanti Om – 79.42 crores – Blockbuster
  • 2. Welcome – 70.75 crores – Blockbuster
  • 3. Partner – 61.19 crores – Blockbuster
  • 4. Chak De India – 67.69 crores – Blockbuster
  • 5. Taare Zameen Par – 62.48 crores – Superhit

Year 2008 – The first film to break into the 100 crore club – Aamir Khan’s Ghajini did unbelievable business during Christmas. SRK and Akshay remained consistent with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Singh Is King.

Ghajini

  • 1. Ghajini – 114.67 crores – All Time Blockbuster
  • 2. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi – 86.78 crores – Blockbuster
  • 3. Singh Is King – 68.48 crores – Superhit
  • 4. Race – 61.68 crores – Hit
  • 5. Jodha Akbar – 59 crores – Hit

Year 2009 – 3 Idiots was not only the second film to join Ghajini, but became the first and only film to cross 200 crores at the box-office. By the end of this year, many believed that Aamir Khan was far too ahead for others to catch up. Wanted was the second biggest grosser, but not many took the success of the film and Salman Khan too seriously at this stage. Ranbir staked his claim as a future superstar, when established guys like SRK and Hrithik had no release in 2009. Not to forget, is the fact that Katrina Kaif  was enjoying the best phase of her career and could give the men a serious run for their money – popularity-wise.

3 Idiots

  • 1. 3 Idiots – 202 crores – All Time Blockbuster
  • 2. Wanted – 60.69 crores – Superhit
  • 3. Love Aaj Kal – 66.89 crores – Superhit
  • 4. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani – 62.94 crores – Superhit
  • 5. De Dana Dan – 48.30 crores – Above Average

Year 2010 – Salman Khan Dabangged his way to the top. Aamir Khan had no release and SRK’s My Name Is Khan didn’t have mass-appeal for huge business in India, but is still doing good business overseas – two years after it’s release. Even though Housefull did good business, Akshay Kumar was slowly losing his audience due to an excess of mindless comedies. 2010 was also Ajay Devgan’s year with two blockbusters Golmaal 3 and Raajneeti. Hrithik Roshan was going through the worst phase of his career since 2004, but enjoyed immense critical acclaim for his performance in Guzaarish.

Dabangg

  • 1. Dabangg – 140.1 crores – All Time Blockbuster
  • 2. Golmaal 3 – 107.56 crores – Blockbuster
  • 3. Raajneeti – 92.93 crores – Blockbuster
  • 5. My Name Is Khan – 72.74 crores – Hit
  • 4. Housefull – 72 crores – Hit

Year 2011 – There was no stopping Salman Khan, who churned out blockbusters with ease. Shahrukh Khan joined the 100 crore club with not one but two films – Don 2 and Ra One. Hrithik returned with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Ajay Devgan established himself as a bankable star.

Bodyguard

  • 1. Bodyguard – 145 crores – Blockbuster
  • 2. Ready – 121 crores – Blockbuster
  • 3. Ra One – 115 crores – Hit
  • 4. Don 2 – 110 crores – Hit
  • 5. Singham – 100 crores – Superhit

Year 2012 – 45 days days into 2012 and Hrithik has already joined the 100 crore club – only the 5th male star to do so. With Agneepath marked as the film to beat this year – there are several contenders to take the top spot like Salman’s Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2, SRK – Yash Chopra film, Aamir Khan’s Talaash and Akshay Kumar too has a set of promising films lined up for release. Bookmark this page, we will update the list with every big release this year.

  • all little hritik fans are crying for his success someone above in comments said where were ur beloved khans hiding in 2000, 2003 & 2006. let me ask you moron where was hritik hiding 2001,2002,2004,2005,2007,2008,2009,2010,2011 and surely in 2012 salman both films will shatter shitty agneepath. aamir agin will be top grosser

  • @ pavan oberoi
    here it is finally vivek oberoi has sent his chamcha pavan oberoi to post good comments on hrithik n negative abt khans.. dear chamche pavan just bcoz ur guru vivek has got some role in kkrish2 ur promoting krrish n hr .. don’t u rember how ur guru vivek was thrown out of bollywood after 2004… hr is a good actor with grt looks n physic. no doubt abt it.. he is a superstar.. I dint deny it I said he shoudt be compared wid khans as they ruled bollywood they are ruling now n they will atleast till 2020… khans rock n so does hr but not u pavan oberoi.. chamcha of flopstar vivek oberoi…

  • @pavan oberoi i know hritik paid you for doing this job but dont worry nothing will change and khans will rule this decade too and hritik will spend another decade under likes of khans

  • khans ruled for 22years and they are still rulling and when did hritik rule he is always been under the highlights of either amir,salman and srk. khans are 46 and hr 40 already. i clearly dont see him ruling in near futre and after khans ranbir is not going to let him.

  • @pavan oberoi just keep quiet you clown hritik is nobody infront of khans. he came to salman for workout tips. and srk for acting tips and aamir for perfection tips but still he is not learning from his gurus

  • hritik noway near deserve to be called a best actor. he chooses the good scripts and big banner and budget movies otherwise is just like abhishek bachan and you guys saw a glimps in guzaarish and kites

  • @pavan oberoi each of khans had more than two all time blockbusters even sunny deol has 1 all time blockbuster but hritik with his greek monster looks has none in 12 years so how can compare this moron with amir or salman and srk also. dont be biased watch the facts and accept it

  • @ suman and kat Wow. What kind of logic is that? Not all big banner films does well. And no script can come to life without someone capable to deliver the lines well. Acting is more than the dialogue. Every expression and nuances makes the difference. Because, base on your logic, if all a good movie needs is a good script, then we might as well do away with actors and use robots. It makes no difference right?

    And why is there even a need to compare the Khans with HR? HR is good friends with SRK and on friendly terms with Salman Khan.

  • Look at top 5 from 2011..all are above 100 crores..wow..hey Indicine i think you haven’t added the regional versions of RA 1 and DON 2..!!

  • Hrithik Roshan jab b action m aata h to sab khans ki watt lga deta
    2012 m agneepath se n 2013 krrish 3 se
    no khan can compete with d real Indian super hero one n only Hrithik Roshan

  • @manish….hi fellow moron..plz exclude 2001 as its not a khan year…baki bache 8 saal 3 khan mein batane ke liye..so 2.5 each since HR came in the scene…n HR has 3 …aage to tu khud samazdar hain…lol
    @khan..vivek oberoi!!!..really…lol…n ya thanks for agreeing to my point …HR rocks…period!!!
    @srk (wow!! what a original name).. u need to change ur name dude it reminds of a bygone era..n a mid life crisis …lol
    @ahmed…KHANSSSSS……dude atleast have the guts to fight man to man…choose the best out of ur 3 stooges then we will talk….
    @ deepak…fine salman is the gurus of all bodybuilder..SRK is a gr8 actor( lol!!!) n aamir is a perfectionist……similarly HR is a superstar!!!
    @suman…thats the genius of HR..thks for the acknoledgement ….u shd give the same tip to SRk also…he shd also choose good script only…not RA.1 types..
    @nitin…picture abhi baaki hain dost….
    @kat….hahahhahahahhahaha
    n ya guys thks for acknowleding the effectivness & truthfulness of my comments…by pouring in your views….keep it going…..
    n ya @alok….dude dont spoil the forum….show some class….

  • did you ever think about this-why all big actors are against srk?
    as you see above srk is the leader in all khan’s and others and he did release many hits super hits and blogbusters.and he was and is the best actor and most successful actor of the decade.
    i love srk salman aamir hr .but when i saw some fools are using bad words about a person who did everthing for them and bollywood to make them happy.
    we all have to respect all actors if you dont like srk or salman and aamir.so be it but dont forget to respect others and their works

  • indicine dont show your fake numbers.
