Note – All figures are from Times of India, the leading news daily of India.
Top 5 Actors by Gross
- Akshay Kumar – 500 crores – 17 movies
- Shahrukh Khan – 400 crores – 9 movies
- Aamir Khan – 365 crores – 5 movies
- Salman Khan – 350 crores – 13 movies
- Hrithik Roshan – 215 crores – 3 movies
Top 5 Actors by average per film
- Aamir Khan – 73 crores per movie
- Hrithik Roshan – 72 crores per movie
- Shahrukh Khan – 44 crores per movie
- Akshay Kumar – 29 crores per movie
- Salman Khan – 27 crores per movie
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

As far as I am concerned Aamir Khan is the most dynamic actor to have proven these days…His movies after 2000 till date turns to be the movies which was and never will be created again in the cinematic history of india..So guys he deserves to be no.1 now in the rankings while he was not before..
…Shahrukh has proved that he is a good actor in a romantic and tragic role only..other roles he performs are so so…Salman khan has a craze fan following no doubt..He can attract the audiences with his charming voice and naughty acts…
Akshaya kumar is cool hot guy who does every movie so well that even he may not know when the shooting is completed…I guess
And the last but not the least Ajay Devgan is also one of the best actors bollywood have ever seen whose charms is still surviving in the crowds of actors..
SO I THINK THE FOLLOWING RANKINGS WILL SHOW WHO IS THE TOP FIVE ACTORS WITH RATINGS
#1 AAMIR KHAN 9.5/10
#2 SHAHRUKH KHAN 9/10
#3 SALMAN KHAN 8.9/10
#4 AKSHAYA KUMAR 8.5/10
#5 AJAY DEVGAN 8/10
So from late 80s till now i think these 5 actors are the only legends who are doing well…And I love them all….
Hrithik won most best actor award in the last decade with fewer films than anybody else. Therefore, I don’t think anyone should place forcefully in his place. This success by Hrithik can not be hidden by anything!
Faud: I respect what u said…and Hrithik Roshan is also one of my fav actors..But dear friend the top 5 superstars i created was my own opinion about how I see the bollywood icons in the screen…The above written ranks are not based on what awards they got or how many they got…It’s only created on the basis how they are dominating the indian cinema from their early days…Hrithik roshan has much more to do to come to Top 5 spots…Other actors whose actings are just so live are Nana Patekar, Manoj Bajpai, Irfan Khan,Ashutosh Rana…but they are also mine fav. actors…So, Faud I am just trying to keep those stars on top 5 whom people want’s the most…the others are I don’t mean not needed by the people..But i Mean they have a lot more to do to be on the top….
I hope u’ll reply this…my friend
If we attain last two years we get result of bollywood actors;one the great movie in 2o1 is Dabbang no1 movie who will broken all hindi movie record and latest realse Bodyguard which runs high rank in bollywood.Ammir khan him say,salman is no1 in bollywood actor.
hi dont agree with above result.in my opinion (1.salman 2.amir 3.ajay 4.sharukh 5.akshay or hritik) will be the best looking to their continious hits.It doesnt mind how much u do movies but matters upon their hits given.
lahshuk:i dehfinitely agree upon u .looking to hcurrent results ajay has many fans becoz of his hits likeHH( once upon..,golmaal sereies,singham,.omkara,all the best .and many more).And i m sure he will hhave his upcoming movies like (rascals,tez,bol bacchan,pandav)will hdefinetly rule the box office.
Similarly salman is also the top most actor in current years with its blockbuster movies……….
I support both lashuk and sanjay.Here’s my ratings…….
1.ajay devgn
2.salman khan
3.amir khan
4.shrk khan
5.akhshay
6.hritik
7.shahid
8.imran khan
9.ranvir kapoor
