When 3 Idiots swept box office records and Aamir Khan was hailed as the biggest superstar in the country, who would have thought a certain Salman Khan – back then, not going through the best phase of his career – would challenge Aamir for the No 1 spot?
Apart from the lifetime collections of 3 Idiots (200 crores), almost all other records held by Aamir have been broken. Not once, but twice. First by Dabangg and now by Bodyguard (collections are already around 70 crores in 4 days and Sunday should break the 80 crore first week record in less than 5 days!). In between, there was a non-festive release ‘Ready’ which collected 125 crores in India!
While Aamir has one release every year, Salman’s Bodyguard released just 3 months after Ready.
The other challenger for the top spot, Shahrukh Khan, has been missing from action lately. Ra One his next release will be his biggest test. To put Salman’s dominance over SRK into perspective, the first week of Dabangg (80 crores) was more than the entire lifetime collections of Shahrukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan (72 crores lifetime), which also released last year. And Bodyguard is expected to go past MNIK in 5 days flat!
Having said that, Shahrukh Khan has been the most consistent superstar in the last decade and his success ratio is unmatched. His last failure was Paheli and since then almost every film starring SRK in a lead role have been box office HIT’s or better.
If Ra One does anything in excess of 100 crores (and it has to because of high costs), SRK’s position in the industry and more importantly his 100% success ratio in the last 6 years, will remain intact.
Ajay Devgan deserves a mention too – Once Upon A Time in Mumbai, Golmaal 3, Rajneeti and the very recent Singham – have all been super-successfull. He’s right there at the top too.
For now though, it’s Salman Khan, enjoying one of the best phases of his career. He was always a crowd-puller, but never recognized as the topmost star. Now he is!
Who are the Top 5 stars in the industry today? Tell us in the comments section below
i think king of bolywood is salman
Salman He is the real king of bollywood.Top 5 actors of bollywood r:
1.Salman Khan
2.Aamir Khan
3.ajay

5.imraan now
I THINK NOW IS SALMAN BUT USUALLY IS
1, AAMIR
2,SALMAN
3,SRK
4,AJAY
5,AKSHEY/ IMRAAN
Success formula of salman- get a south masala remake,item songs,brainless fights,ripping shirt in climax to show hisold mus2kes.
Acting ke mamle me nasiruddin shah is no. 1 he
This is short-lived phase of salman like akshay. AAMIR AND SRK R THE CONSISTENT SUCCESSFUL SUPERSTARS.
4 movies …………………all are block busters ………
wated
dabang
ready
bodyguard
ab kaun kehta hai SRK is no.1………………………..
i don’t think so …………now the No.1 spot is replaced by SALMAN KHAN
Salman Is A Murderer,
All you forgotted that he killed a people while he was driving fully drunk!
And all you forgotted the Chinkara Case?
Ese insaan ko to main No.1 pe to kya No.1000 me b na rakhu,…
No.1 ROCKSTAR 4 THE ALL TIME :THE ONE AND ONLY SALMAN KHAN………
WHY THE HELL CAN ANY1 BECOME SO CALLED DIE-HARD FAN OF SALMAN. DEFINITELY NOT BECAUSE OF hIS Acting skills. 1.HIS OFFSCREEN PLAYBOY ÍMAGE DUE TO BREAK-UP WITH AÌSH AND katrina.HE Got SYMPATHY that he got used by them 2)he HAS CONNECTIONS WITH UNDERWORLD.Thats Y hE GOT THIs EID FAN FOLLOWING.3) he RaN HIS CAR OVER 3 PERSONS ON PAVEMENT 4)ITS FASHIONABLE N DIFFERENT TO SAY AS SALMAN die-hard FAN
Salman movies r disgrace to indian cinema.We shud say chuck norris is hollywood salman khan
i think
1.AAMIR KHAN (bcoz his last film was the bigest hit of alltime so he cannot be replaced until his next film comes)
2.SALMAN KHAN (his last few films have done really well )
3.SRK/AJAY DEVGN(they could equal at this stage
4.HRITHIK ROSHAN (he’s back with znmd and has great line up of films)
5.AKSHAY KUMAR (still he is not that down)
@SIGMOND FREUD, WELL SAID. Salman is the most over-rated actor(?!). Salman fans r lifeless perverts.its better for them to go and get some life.
‘Salman Khan’ means the real “Superstar”,”Style Sensation”,”Bhai of aam janta”.
No one could ever matched the unbelivable popularity (whether he is ‘perfectionist’ or so called ‘King’)
of Salman bhai.Ranking bears no significance to evaluate Sallu vai.
1. Salman Khan( Bhai was,is & will always be there)
2. Aamir Khan
3. SRK
$. Hrithik Roshan
5. Ajay Devgan

3. Shahrukh khan
4. Ajay devgon

5. Hrithik
6. Imran

And the real SuperGREATstar is Only Salman Khan (1000% sure)
May be it’s Salman’s time but cinema is all about acting. One who acts better would go to the top. In that respect SRK and Amir Khan are ahead of Salman.
