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
Ending the topic..
The fans know it..and even haters know it..
that only film really expected to breach worldwide 400cr mark is Ra.One..
saalo kahaan se south se Robot aayi aur..India ki highest grosser bangyi wid 386cr..and Ra.One has all the potential and momentum in the world to get past that mark easily..
whereas DON2 will challenge 3Idiots record in India..
at last..SRK will regain his temporarily lost throne..their is no doubt in that..
am I right insecure Sallu and Aamir fans..
@aashakaren or whatever,continue deceiving yourself,oneday you will end up in a mental hospital,mark todays date ,ra.one wont pass the collection of ready talkless of others
Ram – 1 will be sure shot FLOP bcoz of its high cost.
Ram – 1 budget 200Cr.
@Aashkaran, ko electric shock dena parega .Uski bahen ko chod chod ke phad diya na isliye woh pagal ho gaya.
@Raza Hashmi,i dont know whether ure srk pr agent in disguise,but let me you,if the audience doesnt like a film it will crash the next day,it happen with kite and tmk,those two have a great opening it even equal that of ready and close to dabanng,but the audience rejected it and it flop,bodyguard is still going strong in weekdays and believe me if it had another open week it will cross 200cr meaning it is liked by the audience.it is not about having a record breaking day,the greatest fear is sustaning during the days ahead and as far i can tell dabangg,bodyguard and even ready(a non festive release) did that tmk has a good opening day in an holiday period (chrismas) that 3idiot has with a popular item song sheila ki jawani but the audience rejected it the next day
sallu is the best no 1 actor in Universe
Love u sallu brother
King Kumar will be back
Saju Dey..just make an appearence in Agra..u’ll be the favourite jerk of their paagal khaana..
tumhara kehne ka matlab hai ki 200cr ki picture banaani hi nahi chaiye…humhe salman jaisi 30 crore ki banaani chaiye..ult pataang films..aur fir katrina ko thop dena chaiye..
DUde..Buzz off..
Srk apne standard se uth kar kaam krta hai..tabhi 200cr ki picture khud produce krke banaayi hai..
Salman apna standard giraake kaam krta hai..Tollywood ko copy maarke..
meri nazar mein 200cr waale risk taker ki ehmiyat hai..so..go to hell..
Urdao mazaak Ra.One ka..saalo hijro jaise line mein lage hoge ticket ke liye 26 Oct ko..
yeh meri guarentee hai..
SRK IS KING..and as he says Ab Mujhe Koi Nahi Rok Sakta..
He is true..
he is coming..tumhari pungi bajaane
@Aashkaran @ All srk fans
Yr there is no need to prove anything to these srk haters. We all srk fans believe this that srk has never disappointed us so it’s understood that srk is going to take his no 1 position back. No 1 always belongs to srk. Everyone has his or her own opinion so that’s their opinion we can’t change that. I don’t believe how can someone hate srk bcz he teaches love not hate. If someone hates him then there is some problem so thats not their fault. We r students of srk we shouldn’t hate anyone. We r here to spread love not hate. We r proud to be srk fan. We don’t use abusive language. All srk haters r expecting something miracle to happen bt that’s not gonna happen. So wait for srk hurricane. The world knows who is the best even srk haters know this bt thats not possible for them to accept it. No doubt salman nd amir has challenged srk nd tried to snatched his kingdom. Now its srk turn to give response. Srk is the ruler of bollywood who’s going to shatter all records so jst wait.
@ aashkaran i really hope that what ever u r saying becomes true.
i hv been an admirer of srk bt i do beleive that he needs a big hit desprately.i don’t know why u people r fighting on ra-one.let’s all hope that ra-one does extremely well.im a big fan of aamir khan but i really don’t like anyone abusing great actor like sharukh.they r all actors n we should be enjoying their work n wish that they keep on giving us something better.
@Aditya
I liked ur comment. I agree with u.
salman cannot beat 3 idiots records coz his films doesnt have dt decent script n story 4 long run…he can onli breaak opening day n week records…even bdy guard managin 100 cr in 6 days cannt break 3 idiot lym tym…
today he is the biggest superstar few days later srk will release his biggie then he will become no 1 after some time aamir will release his biggie and he will be no 1 is there any end to this .. bogus films are doing good business and good films are rarely made ..just goes to show the mindset of the hindi audience …mindless culture ..people upset with todays life go to see anything however insane it may be to entertain themselves .. people here are dying to get entertained so come what may…
1.salman khan
2.salman khan
3.salman khan
4.salman khan
5.salman khan
no comparision salman is the great. man of the masses handsome good looking actor
s-stylish
a-actor
l-lovely
m-magician
a-attitude
n-naughty
srk aamir sab bekar hai salman k samne
Sharukh says he is the badshah of Bollywood no doubt he may be but when it come to Aamir khan he is the god of Indian cinema so how come the badshah can win over to god sharukh all movies which are superhit are romantic movies and whereas an aamir movie it’s totally differrent from each other just compare an aamir movie with sharukh…….Aamir is the clear winner
For eg an sharukh movie ddlj,Kuch Kuch hota hai, kal ho na ho,baazigar,dil to paagal hai,rab ne bana di Jodi,all romantic movie
An Aamir movie just see the difference lagaan,3 idiots,ghajini,taare zameen par,dil chata hai,sarfaros,dil, mangal pandey,rangeela,Jo jeeta wohi sikandar,qsqt,raja hindustani,ghulam,akele hum akele tum,andaz apna apna and many more movie can be listed here
So u only compare between the movies of both see which actor give u quality cinema all time and which give u same masala movies
But to me the aamir khan is the megastar of Indian cinema a living legend no one can become aamir khan
But everyone can become sharukh for eg see shahid kapoor infact sharukh khan is duplicate xerox copy of the greatest actor of Indian cinema dilip kumar he try to copy his acting style
Sharukh to har
aashkaran srk is not great agar une great hota toh woh charity trust kholta tha manat nahi banata tha samaj gaye and u stop saying wrong about salman
ye no 1 ka tag fixed nahin hai…so dnt fight…sab ka tym aayega….bt hrithik,srk,salman,aamir n akshay wil remain top 5 for v long period
So as usual SRgay fans are having a collective orgasm over Gay.One…yeah keep praying jokers!
Even if Gay.One and Dog 2 succeed, all these records will be broken by Dhoom 3, poor gay Hamrukh who still isn’t able to catch up to Ghajini and people are praying for 3 idiots where do you leave kids???
Just wait for Agneepath by Hrithik Roshan just after 2 weekd of Dog 2’s release, Dog 2 will be fucked up.
And then Aamir’s Suspence Thriller wich will also be huge, Krrish 3, ETT, and finally Dhoom 3…
What will Gay do then huh? If he can match even Dabangg with one of his movies, 3 Idiots is still there, and after that Dhoom 3 can make 300cr…the bar is keeping high for him he has to break BG’s opening record first, then atleast dabangg and than 3 Idiots!
Let’s wait and see!
@aashkaran: mind ur language, as u see Aamir fans respect SRK and didn’t bash him at all.
Get ur facts right!
