Akshay Kumar has four 100 crore grossers in his career (Check out: Actors with most 100 crore grossers) and his latest release ‘Housefull 3’ has every chance of becoming his 5th.
While the film is unlikely to become the highest grosser of his career (Rowdy Rathore – 134 crore), it’ll be interesting to see if Housefull 3 can beat Holiday and Housefull 2.
Akshay has been fairly consistent at the box office, but his big films – even with favourable release periods like Independence Day (Brothers, OUATIMD) and Post IPL (Holiday, Housefull 3) – have failed to take it to the next level like Rowdy Rathore did in 2012.
Adjusting for inflating and rise in the number of multiplexes, Rowdy Rathore’s 134 crore is probably worth 160 crore or more if it happened to release in 2016 (although the genre – Masala and south remake – is not as hot as it was back in 2012).
Rowdy Rathore was big in every way – the open was outstanding (exceeded expectations), the trend was excellent and the film was a huge grosser – even though it released 2 months after Housefull 2 – rubbishing the theory of back-to-back releases affecting business.
That biggie, which pushes the limit of non-festive releases, is something that Akshay has failed to achieve with all his subsequent releases. Housefull 3 was expected to be that big film and there is still a chance, but it looks difficult at this point in time.

Indicine my comments what’s wrong with it? now this is not fair. I said the fact and you said freedom of speech? or is it bcos I listed 2 names when comparing his movies with whom you guys hate? can’t believe this!!
@Abhi Thug, we do not allow external links, unless it’s to sites like Youtube.
@Nipun : for your kind info let’s face the fact at least once. You and I both know to be honest with a very good script Akshay is. way a much more talented actor than Hrithik Roshan and Ajay Devgn. Now hell not bring any fuss on Filmfare and National award. History of recent has shown anybody can win it!! Also both Ajay and Hrithik are the most overated superstars we have in the country
@Babaji ka Thullu
100 crore lifetime is a huge success for Akkians. That is your aukaat. rofl
@nipun, yes akki doesn’t experiment…he never does movies like airlift, baby, etc….

Flop
Funny how Joker Boy is chasing his own mediocrity / crappiness whilst the big 2 khans are chasing the Highest Grossers Off All Time records…!
But not to fret jokerpurians coz in April lungiwales got to see Smeagol chasing Gollum ie King chase his own shadow or was it his reflection in that maha crap PANKHA so its not all bad…!
Which experiment are u talking about….Playing jaadu in Papa Roshans gimmicks…..Give me a break…..or u call Bang Bang shit as experiment…..The only time he dared experimented was Guzaarish and everybody knows what happened!!!
so the worst film of the year has still to reach 100cr . Why should it??
Why has it even earned the amount that it has??
on what basis??
can indicne elaborate please??
What is in the film that it has done the business it has??
are Indians the foolish people they are worse than animals to deserve this fate?? for which the answer is yes they are!!
@indicine,my 5:26 PM comment is very important and given to make known some facts for everyone with out using a single abusive word for anyone.so I request before you to kindly publish this comment of mine to all and show it to all,thanks.
@Iambollywoodfan: I am talking about characters! Doing the agent roles again and again is not challenging or risky!
I am talking about challenging roles like HR in JA,KMG or Guzaarish.. Big B in Black and Paa… SRK in MNIK,CDI.. Aamir in PK,Lagaan.. Ranbir in Rock star,Barfi.. Ranveer in Bajirao Mastani and so on..
Some people are giving excuses like he releases 3-4 movies per year, he releases his movies non holiday weekend, hence not able to give big grossers.
Guys, don’t you think releasing two movies per year and surpassing 200cr with each one is better than giving 3-4 80cr grossers and making producers bankrupt???
Is anybody stopping him to release his movies on holidays (EDX)??? If he is such a big star as you people are pretending why doesn’t he releases his movies on holidays and makes others run away from the date (just like Bhai did with Raeesa)???
To All Akki Lover And To All Akki Haters,
I want to clear one point…
Akki Fans, Don’t try to make understand those who are born without brain, They don’t want to think sensible and don’t want to accept the truth…
The truth that…
1) Akki is more entertaining and pure risk taker and not dependent on EDX as others are not…
2) Akki can do any role and has enough courage to release his film on any date while other Non Actors or EDX made actors thinks 100 times before releasing theirs films on Non Holidays…
3) Akki releases 4 films a year…
Hmmm, He has not started doing it from last 3 or 4 years, He is doing from his debut in Indian Cinema and other hand, Bechaare Poor Non Actors have lost their stamina and became Oldmen and even cannot think for completing 2nd movie in a year… Buddhe ho gaye Bechaare, Samjhha karo, Nahi kar sakte Wo ek se zyaada films, Bechaaro ki saans bhar jaati hai, Have some sympathy please for them and for their fans… Sorry Bhaiyo, We have sympathy for You all…
4) Akki has achieved everything in his life and have a very good family while Lallu is still thinking who will tolerate his overacting and crafted attitude whole life, Ye bhi nahi pata bechare ko ki, Kab life jail mein bitana shuru ho jaau… Sorry But, We Akkians have sympathy…
5) We mostly get chance to read Bhai’s Own English on twitter when Bhai drinks so much and even forget that where he is daring to write upon…
Listen Salmoron Fans, Akkians jab auqaat par aa gaye to yaha comment karna chhudva denge…
Specially Tamed Tiger…
You want argument then let it be, Tamed Tiger…
@unmatchable makki:
Ans to your each point separately….
1) Kangna is also not depends on EDX and gives bigger grosser than Akki’s highest grosser ever (TWMR). Does it mean she is bigger star than Akki???
2) s anybody stopping him to release his movies on holidays (EDX)??? If he is such a big star as you are pretending why doesn’t he releases his movies on holidays and makes others run away from the date (just like Bhai did with bhagoda & Raees)???
3. Jonny lever, rajpal yadav, Anupam Kher, boman Irani etc release 7-8 movies per year and don’t depend on EDX. Hence, according to your makki logic they are bigger star than Akki…Hahahaha.
4. Despite doing overacting Bhai is miles ahead of your Akki. If Bhai starts doing acting then your Akki will commit suicide… LOL.
5. Even PM modi doesn’t know English very well. Does it make him less capable than Manmohan Singh??? Similarly, how does limited knowledge of English make Bhai smaller than Akki??? Another makki logic!!!
Jab hum (Bhal fans) apna daalte hain naa chid-faad dete Hain….
@ Tamed Tiger,
Yes, We have seen Your chid faad in Jai Ho…
I again makr you rethink upon Your foolish observation, Please have a look, You Moron…
1) Kangana is not dependent on EDX but she made good collection on box office the reasons were ourstanding acting, a sequel and movie after long time. She is not even comparable to Eid Made star and don’t worry Bhai’s Epic Marigold Movie’s record is just next to unbreakable. LOLxxx…
2) SRK and team postponed their film due to request made by Salmoron by personal meet and Salmoron too never wanted the clash kyunki, Clash aur Eid Date ke bagair movie release kar de na 3-4 to iss naam ka Non Actoe hi iss industry se gayab ho jaayega…
3) It gives all of us here enough prood of your brain level who is assuming Rajpal Yadav, Anupan Kher, Johny Lever a main actors, Hahahahahahaha… Bhai, Keep it up, You are true entertainer of Indicine who makes laughing others all time, Grow Up, Bhai…
4) Chal, You finally accepted that the Eid Made Non Actor does not know acting, Yes, We are eager to do suicide of bhai show his acting class in one of any his films… But, You know, We all will survive safe coz, Bhai ko sirf ek cheez aati hai ab, Eid ka wait karna taaqi Uski overacting Uske illeterate fans ko saal mein ek baar hi tolerate karne ko mile, 2 ya 3 baar aaya to hamesha ke liye gayab ho jaayega industry se…
5) PM Modi doesn’t know English? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, Bhai Tu kaha rahta hai, Truly Tere neighbours ko salute hai ki,Tere paas rahte hai…
Bhai’s english on twitter is the best language ever which is used to make understand to only his illiterate fans… LOL…
Sher jab 2 kadam pichhe hota hai na to darr kar nahi, Jhhaptane ke liye…
I bet If Robot 2.0 is announced to be released on Eid, Salmoron will forget taking Eid name…
Just think twice…
@unmatchable makki:
But Bhai’s underperformer Jai Ho collected 113 I.e 600% more than akki’s recent underperformer joker’s collections. What you say???
1. Still Kangna crossed 150cr mark and your Akki needs to take 6 janam more to achieve the milestone…LOL.
2. Even loongiwalas have accepted the truth and not giving such silly and moroniceexcuses.
3. (Acc to u) If Akki is bigger star than Bhai for making 3-4 movies per year. Then rajpal yadav, Anupam Kher, johny lever etc are much bigger star than Akki. Because they make 7-8 movies each year.
4. Bhai gave ATHG cum ATBB HAHK, ATBB MPK on non holiday period. But your jokerboy yet to give even a HGOTY in his 25 years long career. Forget about ATBB and ATHG… Hahaha.
5. Toh tera jokerboy kounsi English ki professor hain???
@ Tamed Tiger,
Your silly 1,2,3&4 points answer is just in one below sentence…
“Just wait for Robot 2.0, You will surely stop taking name of the word COLLECTION…”
Did you hear, Akki has charges more than the South God – Rajinikant?
Did you hear Akki was the first to score 1,000 Crs., 2,000 Crs., 3,000 Crs. (And You jerks are still barking foe 200 and 300 crores) Hahahahahahahahahahaha…
Did You hear for the next upcoming film Akki Bhai will charge 42 Crores?
Mere Bhai, It’s easy to hit six on FREE HIT but very difficult to hit four on yorker (See the difference).
Collection word Teri dictionary se hamesha ke liye hatne wala hai, Bhai just wait for 2.0
And Ya, You all illiterate fans of Talentless Actor will always chant Collection Collection Collection but never take names of versatility, punctuality, loyalty, manners, clean image, noble social causes and last but not the least ACTING…
Coz, Ye baaqi saari cheezin Salmoron mein koshish karke bhi nahi aa sakti…
Saal mein ek movie karna aur Usse bhi Eid par lana aur next 2 weeks taq Kisi movie ka release nahi hona ye reason hai 200 crores ka, You all inside yourselves know it very better…
Stamina nahi hai, Lallu mein, Auqaat hai to aakar dikhaaye Non Holiday par, Cheer Faad denge…
Your 5th point now…
Akki is not professor of joker boy instead, Rest all well known actors are not professor as they speak in English, Is it must to be a professor for speaking in English?
Is Indicine Team is full of Professors?
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, Bhai Earth se hi hai na Tu?
Team Indicine, Kaise Logo ko allow karte ho yaar comments post karne ke liye!
Sun Tamed Tiger, We have been watching Akki speaking in English, Punjabi, Hindi, Marathi, etc.
Tere 5 Foot Bhai ke to bolne mein bhi overacting hai, Have You seen how his body language when he tries to speak in Hindi even?
Hahahahahaha, Acting mein to over actor hai hi, Simple kuchh bolne mein bhi over acting…
I WILL NOT REMIND YOU THE ALL PREVIOUS TWITTER CHATS OF HIM WITH NO HEAD AND TAIL, HE USES TWITTER TO COMMUNICATE YOU ALL WHEN HE IS DRUNK ONLY…
SO TALENTLESS CLASSLESS NON ACTOR OF THE DECADE…!!!
