While no other actor has managed to make the kind of impact that Hrithik Roshan made with his debut film, the current decade has given the industry quite a few promising stars. The next few years will decide who among these will take it to the next level and attain super-stardom.
Band Baaja Baarat (Ranveer Singh): Anushka Sharma was a star after the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but Maneesh Sharma’s Band Baaja Baarat gave the industry a promising star in Ranveer Singh. The film collected just Rs 1 crore on its opening day, but carried excellent word-of-mouth and went on to attain ‘hit’ status.
Vicky Donor (Ayushmann Khurana): The film, which had a quirky title, marked the acting debut of Ayushmann (who had a youth following due to TV-show Roadies) and Yami Gautam. The opening day collections of Rs 2.06 crore fell in the ‘acceptable’ range because the reports were excellent.
Loading ...Ishaqzaade (Arjun Kapoor): Dark films are always risky on debut, but Arjun Kapoor delivered what remains the best performance of his career and the extremely talented Parineeti Chopra was excellent too. Ishaqzaade had a good story to tell and more importantly had a soul. The film opened at 4.55 crore and finished with lifetime collections of 49 crore.
Student Of The Year (Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt): Karan Johar’s first film without Shah Rukh Khan gave the industry three promising stars. Varun hasn’t had a failure since, Sidharth remains popular and Alia is one of the most popular female stars we have in the industry today. SOTY opened very well, collecting Rs 8.25 crore on Day 1, it finished with Rs 70 crore also becoming the highest grossing film featuring debut actors.
Heropanti (Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon): It was a typical masala film made to cater to the masses. Tiger Shroff impressed with action and dancing skills, the music was good and the film had a beautiful leading lady too. Heropanti opened at 6.52 crore and finished with net box office collections of 51 crore.
Hero (Sooraj Pancholi, Athiya Shetty): Salman Khan planned a dream debut for Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya and Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj. The music was good, but the film failed to live upto expectations. Salman’s backing ensured a fairly good opening, but the newcomers failed to impress the audience.
Loading ...Kai Po Che (Sushant Singh Rajput): Sushant, a popular star on television (Pavitra Rishta), made his debut in Abhishek Kapoor’s critically acclaimed Kai Po Che. The film opened fairly well (3.75 crore) and finished with collections of 45 crore. Sushant hasn’t really been consistent at the box office, but acting talent is likely to be one his strengths going forward.
Lekar Hum Deewana Dil (Armaan Jain, Deekha Seth): Disastrous is the word for the fourth-generation kid of the Kapoor clan. Armaan Jain failed to impress. The film opened very poorly and was declared a disaster on the first day itself.
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (Kapil Sharma): It’s unfair to compare Kapil Sharma with some of the other debut stars, because he commanded a huge following because of his television show ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’. The film opened very well (10 crore) and finished with lifetime collections of 45 crore net.
Mirzya (Harshvardhan Kapoor, Saiyami Kher): Expectations were high as Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra was launching Anil Kapoor’s son Harshvardhan, but the film turned out to be a damp-squib at the box office. The first day collections (2.2 crore) is disastrous and reports are extremely poor too.

Ranveer :) wooahhhh ::: opening 1 cr and lifetime-24 cr hit .. It’s his acting talent <3
Ranveer and Alia are my fav
@Jolly Sunny Akkiholic.. I don’t think so any of the akshay kumar movie will able to cross ‘KNPH’ footfalls in future. It’s called a stormy debut.
Currently all polls going only between Ranveer and Varun ( younger generation). In my opinion:
Ranveer is more talented than Varun while Varun is more handsome than Ranveer .. That is why , most of the time Varun is winning ( but he wins with a lil margin ) . Bcz he has more girl fans .
@Indicine… when you mention a debut you should also mention the craze of Kumar Gaurav at the time of his debut if you are taking HR into account who debuted a6 yrs back then take KG also into account because he had seen the stardom (although for a short while) but it was way ahead of HR likes.
And on a lighter note… Who’s Armaan Jain ?.. He same poor cousin, second cousin or third cousin of Ranbir without a ‘Kapoor’ surname… ha ha ha… I mean.. How can you take him in the list of promising stars ?… ha ha ha
This jolly sunny akkiholic is one hell of a jealous guy…..He is jealous how can indicine praise hrithik. …dude at the time of debut hrithik was not a star son…..rakesh roshan was not some superstar that everyone will wait for the debut of his son…..so more or less hrithik is also in the category of srk and akki…They achieved stardom with their hard work ….
…..and dude don’t fly high when ur joker kumar is surviving on patriotic themes…Once he start doing his class of movies he will be Back on the ground. …
…..get a life u hrithik hater…..I like akki but due to u moron type of fans…I am forced to bash akki….
who is arman jain?
He also got 2% vote in the poll.
I’m shocked.
Indicine….
AJAY DEVGN SUPPORTS THE RELEASE OF RAEES AND ADHM….not an issue for one of d leading superstar in d country???
Today I will see the true @Indicine this is something that is worth posting big time..
But but but…..What you did yesterday was one of d most disgusting act a said to be movie site neutral (my chapal) no?
next time DARE NOT ,repeat dare not post any heading that reads what you posted against AD INTENTIONALLY!!!
what do you want to gain causing mix understanding between fans of Ajay-Aamir and Salman for that matter!!! Like it or not they are best of friends even on Twitter yesterday before you CLARIFIED …80% of Salman fans were still behind Ajay …that’s what you call LOYALTY BOND …not a sarcastic site like yours. Post my comment or not,I will still keep on chipping in any available post.
@Sambhuda @Tiger and co….even cautioned you today and you were asking them WHAT MISTAKE??? you know what go to your prediction box….put star casts 4 Shivaay …2! Buzz 3!! Music 0….by doing so I promise I won’t call you hypocrite, rather I will know the site I visit as an Anti Ajay which by now even biggest haters like @Jolly @Challa @sss will testify if they have conscious. Now you see d reason why anytime I demand for Mr Fraud to be removed ,I still see it there…from Superstar which all sites tags him with even you guys till early this year when ADHM started their PR…..back to “actor”. Star cast of Rock on with a Farhan as lead being equaled with Ajay 6/10?
Rest my case for now but honestly yesterday was an intentional act and glad all domestic and international twitter handlers all find you responsible for everything… Is that the reputation you wanna keep? Cos of mere hatred and pro of the Dharma’s ??? Shame!!
1. Ranveer
2. Varun
3. Tiger Shroff (he is the underdog for me).
No matter what, Suraj Pancholi don’t even deserve last position. (he sucks)
Aditya Pancholi and Salman has forced the Indicine team to include Harshvardhan and Armaan Jain in the poll to save Suraj Pancholi from humiliation !!!!!!
@jolly first break knph footfalls and adjusted nett lol
Rakesh roshan had given 2 flops with srk before knph .It was hrithik whose killer looks, amazing dance moves and brilliant acting that make knph a historical blockbuster and u know giving blockbuster is difficult as akki has just 1 solo blockbuster lol
Knph -3 cr.+ footfalls
Akki whole career -?
Refugee was a historical op. Coz of popularity of BigB but rakesh roshan was not a superstar ,so obviously its op. Will be less but its Hrithik who made it a blickbuster.

Source..ibosnetwork…before talking about someone why not stare at the mirror first. Never interfere where elders are talking.
Cased closed!!!
@AB…couldn’t agree more Bro.
….from a huge hrithik fan…
Sidhart, Tiger, Sushant
Shardda, Alia, Kriti
Sooraj Pancholi will thrash Jackie papa made star tiger shroff!!!!! Tiger’s dialogue delivery is worst than hrithik roshan! ! @Indicine : The kind of craze that Salman has with Maine Pyar Kiya the craze was bigger than Big B movies and Hrithik can’t match him in acting, dancing, box office or anything else. What Sohail Khan said is true. Nawazuddin>Hrithik
Sooraj > Tiger
#True Salman Fans
Varun and Ranveer. both are superstars of young generation. Next khans !!
SOTY was a multistar movie…
so it crossed 50cr+
where as Heropanti achived good responce by Tiger.
No one can match debut success like Hrithik Roshan……not only he became overnight superstar but also considered threat to khans….no one has able to do that….Hrithik Roshan will b d last superstar bollywood ever produced…..period!!!
SOTY generated huge buzz among youth before release, Sid and Varun were hot topics of gossips for girls so was Alia for boys…its the biggest debut movie of this decade till now…but none have matched Hrithik’s debut yet true…also if u consider Salman Khan’s first leading role film MPK it was simply huge start for any career…MPK was ATBB, HGOTY, HGOTD, Biggest hit of 80s, and also broke the lifetime nett record back then, with debutant actor and debutant actress and also debutant director…Salman became overnight sensation
Two biggest era’s of bollywood Bachchan era and Khan era…
No upcoming actor can ever Bachchan and Khans domination of bollywood…
Big B, Salman, SRK, Aamir these iconic superstars will be remembered forever in bollywood and also Indian Cinema…
I have just shared a Shocking fact and these illiterates talking about lifetime collection, akshay kumar debut,awards etc etc…Grow up all Chu’s
Abhishek>Hrithik in terms of debut opening..
it became A hit because of story and direction of his father.so many awards for the movie.
And @AISHA EVIL DEAD..Just check opening of akshays 1994 released mohra & khiladiyo ka khiladi. It was historical.
Openings matters d most….I forgot you are A fan of an actor like Ajay who gives average or poor openings most of the time..ROFL
Lol…reading cmnts of idiots and according to some Hrithik is only superstar debuted in 21st…
You are forgetting Someone I think or just jealous of his Popularity.
awards, acclaim, commercial grossers, fan following, Favourites of all Big directors ,Earns more than Hrithik…! RANBIR KAPUR
Ranbir>Hrithik in terms of fame
Ranbir>Hrithik in terms of Acting/Acclaim
Ranveer singh best star since joining Bollywood he is big star now
Ranveer Singh gave hit and he was not start kid applaud to him that has nothing to do with boxoffice opening
Any star kids have hype but how you manage later on the have direct connection and easy way to stay compared to non firmlybackground relay only on talents
With no doubt ranveer
Acc to some salman fans salman acting, dancing is better than hrithik…..what foolishness……they once again proved their thinking capabilities… just like their idol…Dumb…hahahahaha…too much fun …way tooo much fun….
Mahira khan has condemn act of terror..but hv not taken name of Uri attack just like fawad….what a shame….and some indians r dying to watch paki actors in theaters…big shame for india..v indians should learn some patriotism from these paki actors. After so many terrorists attacks from pakistan they r not talking against their country and backing their country and v indians hv easily forgotten all d lives of those who lost bcoz of terrorists attacks…this is d time to show unity and ban everything related to pakistan….proud to b Maratha…proud to b Indian…
The first sentense nailed it. “While no other actor has managed to make a kind of impact that hrithik roshan made with his debut film” is enough to shut the mouth of all gobar kumar fans who have been blabbering a lot against hrithik especially that male rakhi sawant @Jolly Toilet akkiholic, @Unmatchable Floppy who were blabbering a lot against hrithik.
@indicine has any actor managed to make a kind of impact with his debut film as gobar kumar i.e. epic disaster debut like saugandh? I need a reply ASAP. Thanks.
Ranveer is already a big star .. Ranveer nd ranbir r in the same stage . now a tym ranveer is no 1 in his generation .
Honestly i believe non of these young stars can match ajay. In fact i dont see any of these boys to be future ajay. It needs tremendous talent, intensity, acting provess and ability to do everything (acting, producing and directing at the same time) with ease and win 2 national awards and win masses love to match him. May be ranveer can come close to ajay because he showed his talent in BM but even for him its not that easy.
