Q. Sultan will be the 10th consecutive successful movie of Salman Khan if it succeeds. Do you think he has chance to break Rajesh Khanna’s record of 15 consecutive successful films. If he does that will he become biggest superstar of Bollywood of all time? – Saquib
A. Superstardom has absolutely nothing to do with consecutive hits. A star can have a few failures in between and still retain his stardom.
It’ll probably be a nice record to have, but Rajesh Khanna’s 15 back-to-back successful films came within a period of 3-4 years. There was a time when 2 or 3 of his films were running in different theatres at the same time. Let’s talk about this once the record is achieved, as Salman needs 6 more films to succeed (including Sultan) and future is never predictable.
For now, check out the list of Rajesh Khanna’s back-to-back success films
1969
- Aradhana – Blockbuster (biggest hit of the year)
- Ittefaq – Semhit
- Doli – Semihit
- Bandhan – Hit
- Do Raaste – Blockbuster (2nd biggest hit of the year)
1970
- The Train – Above Average
- Sachaa Jhutha – Superhit (2nd biggest hit of the year)
- Safar – Hit
- Kati Patang – Hit
- Aan Milo Sajna – Superhit (3rd biggest hit of the year)
1971
- Anand – Hit
- Maryada – Hit
- Haathi Mera Saathi – Blockbuster (biggest hit of the year)
- Amar Prem – Semihit
- Andaz – Hit
- Dushman – Superhit (3rd biggest hit of the year)
1972
- Apna Desh – Hit

RAJESHJI gave BACK TO BACK 15 HITS/SEMI HITS in 3-4 years.this record can’t be broken by anyone considering time span.
Considering only numbers,then who know sultan will be rejected like prdp which was a manipulate hit can’t even recovered budget.and the BLOCKBUSTERS Lthat sallu fans are talking about are 3rd grade classless cheap blockbusters which KING SRK/RAJESHJI only gave CLASSIC BLOCKBUSTERS not sadakchap like sallu’s blockbuster list,lol.
KING KHAN and RAJESHJI arevNO.1 CLASSIC MEGASTARS.don’t compare THESE MEGALEGENDS with sallu who gave BACK to back 10 flops/disasters in last decades.while MEGALEGENDS KING SRK/RAJESHJI can’t break sallu’s this pathetic record.
Salman Khan this name is enough for haters.
Salman Bhaijaan will Definitely this record.
Hmmmm. Looking at these figures one wonders about the same for the three khans.
Probably Aamir has the longest winning streak. No outright flop/disaster after Mela in 2000. Even Mela would have been a 100 cr grosser today inflation adjusted according to BOI. So that’s 16+ years without a flop. This in itself is a record.
Can’t say the same for the other two Khans.
Aamir after 2000:
Lagaan – Hit (Flop Director) (Non-holiday release)
DCH – Semi-hit/above average (New Director) (Non-holiday release)
Mangal Pandey – Above average (Flop Director) (Non-holiday release)
RDB – Hit (Flop Director) (Holiday release)
Fanaa – Superhit (Successful Director + YRF banner) (Non-holiday release)
TZP – Superhit (New Director) (Pre-Christmas and New year release)
Ghajini – ATBB (New Director) (Holiday release)
3 Idiots – ATBB (Successful Director + VVC banner) (Holiday release)
Dhobi Ghat – Average (New Director) (Non-holiday release)
Talaash – Semi-hit (New Director) (Non-holiday release)
Dhoom 3 – ATBB (Flop Director + YRF banner) (Pre-Christmas and New year release)
PK – ATBB (Successful Director + VVC banner) (Pre-Christmas and New year release)
A similar analysis of the other two khans will be interesting.
KING KHAN has BACK TO BACK 11 CLEAN HITS with out an above average from “KANK-HNY”. while neither RAJESHJI nor sallu can ACHIEVE that record.after 5 clean HITS,jai ho was flop and RAJESHJI too didn’t has BACK TO BACK CLEAN 11 HITS.
KING KHAN IS UNDISPUTED KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
How is this possible when Jai Ho was a flop?
He still has a long way to go!
Only Aamir will break raisesh ji’s record.
@mekanik:
If you are really ek baap ka beta then name the 10 back to back flops/disasters of Bhai. If no then it’s alright..!!
Bhai’s content rich BB collected 321cr.
bhagoda’s content rich billu2 collected 84cr.
Now, tell us who is a sadakchap star- 300cr grosser giving Bhai or 80cr club’s king bhagoda???
Some EPIC records created by Megastar Bhai….
1. Maximum number of blockbusters given by any Bollywood star, till date.
2. Maximum number of HGOTY given by any actor, till date.
3. Biggest grosser of 20th century (HAHK).
4. 2 HGOTD (highest ever).
5. 5 back to back blockbusters (highest ever).
Each one of these records is equal (if not bigger) to Rajesh ji’s 15 consecutive successful movies. Hence, if he break Rajeshji’s record or not he is already the biggest Megastar of Bollywood ever seen..
Aamir is biggest megastar bollywood has ever produced. no one can come close to him. period.
Salman Khan break the record, but please do not compare with rajesh khan…..he is the superstar stardom in Bollywood. Rajesh Khana is the most successful actor in 1965 to 1971.
Baap of Bollywood. Only sallu
No Salman khan can’t do this. Absolutely Rajesh Khanna is the loveable actor in our film industry. He got Stardom in just 3 years . But Salman khan had long time to become a successful actor.
Now sultan is blockbuster…. Dabangg, ready, bodyguard,ETT, dabangg2,kick,BB were blockbusters and prdp was superhit,only jai ho was semihit….10 movies has covered now ..Bhai need 5 only Nd no doubt tiger zinda h and tubelight will become blockbusters….So Bhai needs 3 …. Record will be smashed by only Bhai and with 13 blockbusters bcs he is blockbuster khan
Lol lol hurray salman failed to break record of rajesh Ji. …by giving superheated disaster tubelight so salman gave 10 hits consecutively with help of edx.and failed to break rajesh Ji record of 17 consecutive hits…good maza aa gaya..
Bro 3 seni hit of kaka where r u salman has only 1 semi hit kaka had 1 above average salman has also one below average tubelight
Still salman records r better than kaka bczz kaka had 3 semi hit 1 above salman has 1 semi hi & 1 below average
