What the trade thinks
Ashok Ahuja (Percept Picture Company) – It was hard to choose between Ghajini and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Both the films rocked (at the box office). Hrithik is number 2, Akshay is number 3 and Salman is at number 4. The kind of excitement generated by Three Idiots, My Name Is Khan and Kites is palpable even though their release dates are yet to be set; the euphoria associated with Aamir, Shah Rukh and Hrithik is very high.
Amod Mehra (Trade consultant) – Aamir is a clear number 1 because each of his films in the last five years has been different. Shah Rukh is a close second, Hrithik is third, Akshay is fourth and Salman stands at the fifth position. However, a hit or two here and there and these positions could easily change
Komal Nahtha (Trade Analyst) – Bollywood depends a lot on these five men because they have a fairly high success ratio. You have to go by aggregates; individual films may run or flop, but these men net good averages. Akshay leads the pack with his earnings by virtue of the fact that he has done the maximum number of films. Aamir and Shah Rukh are neck to neck at number 1 and Hrithik and Akshay share the number 2 spot. Salman currently occupies a solo place at number three because he hasn’t had a spectacular release after Partner.
Combining the 3 votes, here are the Top 5 Actors of Bollywood in the last 5 years.
- Aamir Khan
- Shahrukh Khan
- Hrithik Roshan
- Akshay Kumar
- Salman Khan
Comments below
obviously!sharukh is best,and his upcoming film will beat thhe world record!
Akshay is no. 1, SRK excellent too
Salman is getting worse and worse …
LIst of top 5 actors recently ….. (Big B is above all need not to be inlcuded in the list)
Basis : not only figures but much more aspects …….
#1 SRK (*****)
= highest no. of blockbusters and superhits ,
= Can touch heart through his acting like in KAL HO NA HO , CHAK DE and many more….
= U know going before 3 years this debate has no meaning, “Everyone knew that SRk is no. 1)
= I wonder why it is most times …Sorry… Every time it is SRK vs BIG B , SRK vs AKKI , SRK vs AMIR and
SRK vs HRITIK.
= The fan groups of ohter actor want to place their favourits above SRK. That’s shows the power of
SRK.
= People say SRK does only love films then what about CHAK DE , SWADESH .
= U know love is needed by everyone in life in many forms like mother love , bro & sis love , Girl love…
and I bet SRK does the best love films than anyone.
= SRK is humble and have a good sense of humour.
= It looks Akshay fans just hate SRK and have decided not to see SRK movie and AKKI movie just to
make it hit. I have some friends like these.
= The few films of SRK which I really appreciate KAL HO NA HO , CHAK DE , RAB NE BANA DI JODI,
MAI HO NAA , SWADESH .
= No love affairs
negative : Didn’t leave smoking…
#2 AMIR KHAN (****)
= Creative and delivered variety films
= Delivered masterpiece TarE ZaMeE PaR
= Expressions are quite natural ( no overacting) . Belongs to same class of acting with SRK.
= Obvious GHAJINI in view of bussiness only. for me this movie in good+ only
= Average per film
= good human being
negative: no need to say yourself no. 1 , if you are , then people will say it .
#3 AKSHAY KUMAR (***)
= undoubtly big entertainer with his 4 films per year.
= I found him a better comedian rather than action figure… ( its true , u can’t deny)
= good style and way of talking
= belong to class B acting.
= I really appreciate Hera Pheri Series , Welcome , Bhagambhag.

flavoured cones wrapped in different wrappers.

now overacts everyone know.)
Abhishek : good choice but something is missing , class A acting
Sahid : good choice but not upto the mark , class B acting
akshay khanna : good actor but lacks superstar power , class B acting
saif ali khan : good choice but needs somethin more to be put at 5. class B acting
aftab and imran hashmi : belong to classs C
Imran khan & Ranbir : Young dudes , require time.
People might have different thinking and orders, this is what I think.
Amit:u r surely a srk fan,saying no one can match him.Haha,plz take near mental hospital and have a check up.
Ur negative said about aamir khan,is just wht SRK always say.He always say he is king …Is this a king king show or wht.Doesnot he know this is bollywood movie and they r actor.Who give him the title king.he is not more than a OLD man.So stop writing crap abt aamir khan
Again,u saying akshay kumar is b grade actor.Haha,u r really have no idea wht u r saying.U r afraid tht Akshay kumar has reach the level of SRK in fan following and u r afraid of tht.AkKi is a really sweet and heartful person not like SRK who only talks abt himself.
U said all r average per film ,wht the hell.U think only SRK is good.U r really have no idea about bollywood movie.u r just a SRK fan,so u r telling like this
ANd for SALMAN khan,u saying overacting…u donot know but while i was reading ur comment,it felt like i m reading script of comedy movie.u r making me laugh.
U r saying Only SRK,hritik,abishek(frm my point of view,he is just a father son actor,he have no his own image) only Class A acting..hahahhahaha…Telling me 4 solo hit of abishek bachan!!!!u r really funny man!!plz have a break man…or join bollywood for ur funny character,u will surely be famous
Amit: u consider Saif as grade b?!! Did u watch his good movies and his best performances? Now I’ve posted a comment under another page about saif.. that he deserves to be no. 5
Didn’t u like him in Parineeta, Omkara, Kal Ho Na Ho, Dil Chata Hai, Salam Namaste & Ek Hasina Thi ( I didn’t see love Aaj Kal yet)
He MUST be considered as one of top 5.

Hrithik Roshan – 72 crores per movie
Shahrukh Khan – 44 crores per movie
Salman Khan – 27 crores per movie
no matter what is the outcome of Salman’s recent movies, he is still no.1 for me:) followed by Amir
SUDEEP you said that I am afraid of that Akshay kumar has reach the level of SRK in fan following , it cleary means you also know 3 years before akshay didn’t stand a chance in fanfollowing agianst SRK.
And am not afraid of this , I do not care who is no. 1 , I just give my thoughts . You may have your own list and I am not forcing to change you that . I have also included amir khan in class A . Also I am glad , MY comments make someone laugh .
Fathiya I have said saif is a good choice but for me he is not no. 5 right now.
Why shah rukh on two.
he is the biggest actor of bollywood and as the meter of fact he is the king of bollywood and he is presenting India across the world.
he got the most awards and there is no comparison between shah rukh khan and amir because shah rukh is defiantly the best and he should be on the no one spot not amir khan
it tells the truth farah khan…
srk is king bollywood just because popuparity oversea..I think his acting skills nothing compare in fornt of amir khan and hrithik roshan
both of them are really true talented in idustry…true talented hs mut be appreciated…
SRK just win popularity… I tell the truth…
if you want to know more bout them…you must to search bout them more…not just at the outside
GOD BLESS YOU AMIR KHAN and HRITHIK ROSHAN…keep it up fighting!!
srk is always king of bollywood nd king of indian cinemas,
i’m great to be srk fan.
it’s aamir, srk. hrithik and sallu !!!!!!!!!
aamir rules bollywood !!1111
Aamir is the no. 1 then comes Sharukh, followed by Salman and Rhitik
In my opinion…..Amir is a talented actor, SRK is a most seek after name,Akki is an all rounder Hero(he has done all sorts of different roles which none of the 5 compared did) AS for the other 2 I can’t comment as they are not much to comment about.
Again in my opinion AKKI / Amir should be at no 1. SRK don’t need the no as he is well seek after by all aged…..SRK is really blessed so I hope he will alway remember ALLAH for all the Blessing…………..
No one can argue on the number one position.it is all about talent,dedication and in this issue,no one can beat Aamir Khan.Srk has restricted himself to emotinal movies only,Hritik,though being a talented actor comedy roles does not suit him.Aamir khan is the best,he is at ease in all sorts of role even in directing and producing.
1 HRITHIK ROSHAN
2 amir
Hrithik is the King of bollywood
Aamir is undoubtedly the no.1.all the four actors are good but they are ranked below aamir.no question about that.no one has been able to match aamir in his quality of films he does.
1.Hrithik .he is the mega star of this decade
hrithik roshan is the no. 1 actor in the bollywood
his forth coming film KITES will breaks all rocords of box office
coz i’m from another country and i can see in my country and others the most popular and fammous
1- ofcourse mr. king sharoukh khan
2- Amir khan
3- salman khan
4- akhsay kumar
5- hirtik
i love them all , also there is a many nice actors, like saif, sunjay dutt, sunny doll, and more and more also the two kings amitab and mithun. thank you bollywood you deserve to be a number 1 in movies maker
Amit i agree with you 100%
aamir absolutely deserves no 1 spot for his perfection and class.then hrithik,sharukh,salman,and obvious akshay at last bcoz of his series of flop.
akshay is the best he the real hero
(Dear Indicine administrator, I’m extremely sorry for that. I have done some mistakes in previous two comments. So please those comment and submit it.)
I respect all of these five actors.All of they are fantastic.I need to say that Hrithik got 5 best actor award in just 9 year where S.R.K, AMIR ,AKKI are working in bollywood at least 15 year but they earned a little number more than Hrithik. So undoubtly Hrithik is the best actor in bollywood and He deserves to be no. 1. Within a few year he earned reputation like bollywood top most Amir, S.R.K, akki and salman.They did not do at the start of the career what Hrithik did in 9 year. I care of hand that what people say about Hrithik. Hrithik is my Best actor since the released of his first movie K.N.P.H in 2000.He is my Best actor in bollywood. Nobody can takes his place in bollywood.
I think it should be:-
1.Hrithik
2.S.R.K
3.Amir
4.Akki
5.Salman
A need to point out a fact to those who think Akshay takes risks just because he does so many movie, have a look at the last few that he has done. They are all so similar that it is difficult to distinguish one from the other in terms or the character he plays. Both Akshay and SRK always portray themselves irrespective of the characters and the script. On the other hand Aamir takes unprecedented risks in the range of movies he does and to some extent so does Hrithik. Acting by nature means to don on another character and not project yourself all the time. So who do you think does best then?
salman is no1….nobody can beat salman
here is my list
1. Sharukh Khan
2. Salman Khan
3.Akshay Kumar
4. AMIR KHAN
5.HRITHIK ROSHAN
Salmam is best.Only he has DUM in bollywood.Heis real king.
1- salmaan khan 2- amir 3-sharukh 4-john 5-emraan hashmi
