Here’s the latest update on the highest opening day collections of the Top 15 actors in the industry. With earth-shattering collections of Rs 44.97 crore on Day 1, Shah Rukh Khan continues to rule. Hrithik Roshan, whose last film ‘Bang Bang’ released on a holiday, but was affected by the clash against ’Haider’, comes in at No 2.
The third and fourth spots belong to the two other superstar Khans. Aamir’s PK released on a normal working day, yet managed to collect Rs 26.63 crore. Salman’s Kick was the most affected film in the Top 5 list. His last release not only released on a working day, but also during the Ramadan period.
Varun Dhawan is the biggest gainer so far this year. The actor has managed to double the collections of his last release (Badlapur) with his latest runaway hit (ABCD 2). Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar are the other gainers in 2015.
Unfortunately, Ranbir Kapoor, who was recently voted as the most promising superstar among the younger generation of actors, is the biggest loser. His latest release ‘Bombay Velvet’ collected Rs 5.2 crore on its opening day, which is less than 25% of his previous solo release ‘Besharam’.
Biggest Gainers:
- Varun Dhawan: Badlapur (7.2 crore) to ABCD 2 (14.2 crore)
- Ranveer Singh: Kill Dill (6.53 crore) to Dil Dhadakne Do (10.53 crore)
- Akshay Kumar: Baby (9.3 crore) to Gabbar Is Back (13.05 crore)
Biggest Losers:
- Ranbir Kapoor: Besharam (21.31 crore) to Bombay Velvet (5.2 crore).

@sky
The Phenom has gone crazy. Comparing TZP with welcome is really insane. Welcome featured an in form Akshay Kumar who was on a roll of superhits, while TZP was a completely non-formulaic film. Aamir’s entry was itself in second half. Recovering the budget of that film was itself was a big challenge. It was not even competing Welcome!
Ohh m late!
I wonder how some ppl reason or argue??
HRITIK not a superstar? Plus hundreds of bashing??
Pls give Hritik some respect!! Like it or not after d KHANS it’s HRITIK @ box office. What’s his fault??
Making A NAME n RECORD for begining of d decade with blockbuster KNPH after a particular superstar declined from d movie??
Giving big time grossers truout his career??
Being TOE to TOE with some of d biggest superstars who started a decade bfo him?
Sick of these manipulation and tricks?? Who do u blame d actor?? No d collection sites if true!!
Am not going to argue much cos I believe ryt inside every1 mind HRITIK is a superstar!! His selective and not media crazy or greedy for doing movies after movies !!
Even 2m w if mohendero is released his star power is okay to easily swift it 100crores!!
Among d industry BIG guns only Hritik with fewer movies has already 3 100 crores or (2 100) 1 200crores which is far more than a particular actor with over 120 movies and an average of 4/5 movies a year !! Yes both may have 3 100 crores to their name
Akshay n Hritik buh Hritik is ahead both QUALITATIVE wise n QUANTITATIVE wise!!
Just like SRK n Ajay both have 5 100 crores but SRK is ahead in terms of GROSS!
my question now is if we accept BIG B is an ICON n AMBASSADOR of Bollywood every corner of d world since wen we were kids it must b pointed out that a REMAKE of BIG B movie is like “a moving candle in d wind”
Only shah rukh did justice with Don1 n Don2
While Hritik did his own justice with AGNEEPATH which was not that successful at box of like 1977 Don.. but he made it a blockbuster!! How many stars can take that RISK??
NO one is saying HRITIK is bigger than d KHANS pls take not. D khans are already PIONEERS OF HINDI CINEMA! but pls HRITIK has dedicated himself to Hindi cinema n no doubt if u r calling d 3 biggies after d Khans HRITIK tops dat league without a shadow of doubt!!
@chew1: Haha you are a certified moron and it shows from your comments.All aamir and salman films work only coz of them while all other actors’ films work coz of variety of factors. I think you forgot that Dhoom 3 had the dhoom brand ,abhishek bachchan,Uday chopra..PK”s opening was nowhere near Dhoom 3 when we detached the Dhoom brand?? What happened..
And lets see if Dangal Pandey can collect even close to Dhoom 3 forget PK..
And mind you TZP was a superhit,Welcome blockbuster and if u say welcome a multistarrer(coz of Nana and Anil Kapoor) then from Dil chahta hai,RDB,3 idiots,PK,Talaash,D3 all are multistarrers.
Salman launched Katrina but it was akki who made her big with Singh is King,Namaste London and other films.
@Sky: But Dhoom 3 was’nt a quality product by any means,I enjoyed K3 and CE much more than it..what would you say about that??
Is it necessary to increase the ticket prices in just one month as prices increase in Diwali.
Hope aamir does’nt do the same when Dangal releases as it might backlash the decision as only aamir is the known face in the cast,director is unknown too..neither the film has mass appeal.
Also it’s EMBARRASSING
CRITIZING an OVERSEA N DOMESTIC RECORD BREAKERS WHO is d least glamorous among d khans but as they say SMALL BUT MIGHTY! D NAPOLEON OF HINDI CINEMA AAMIR. such a CLASS ACTOR!!
FEWER MOVIES BUT POWERFUL OUTPUT. depends weda ppl prefer d name king Khan or d perfectionist! ???
He creates and breaks records!! So impressed with China’s appreciation!!
Agreed aamir had a rough patch in mid 90s movies like athaank hi athaank and ishq were more dominant by rajni n ajay but then sarfaroosh was mindbliwing dilchaht hai and then d art movies like rang De basanti laagan. In short he has less commercial movies than simple low budget or art movies!!
What’s wrong flopping in d mid 90s then regaining your throne from 2000-2015?? as record holders who always breaks his records. Funny son1,comparing tzp with welcome??
Those movies were ISHHAN(D lead actor for a 8crs movie(non commercial) with welcome(Anil akshay nana kat) big time comercial! Their verdict??
Final say
B a AAMIR SRK SALMAN FAN one thing is for sure all have their speciality!! And swag!!
They r d only 3 MEGASTAR around now. Bhojpuri remake ya chota chitu ya queen of Bollywood.. these names r fan created names!!
Their real names are
1. Aamir
2.,SRK
3. Salman.trinity khans all!!
We pray Insha Allah all their movies do well and put smiles on their fans that’s all!! It’s reach a stage for these guys that no.1 2 3 dosent matter. They do movies for their fans unlike some Rajnikants who fans dictate wat he shd do!!
Ramzan Kareem all of U brothers n sisters
@indicine
@all my friends beside some they know themselves
Pls now some1 mentioned SRK muktistarrer movie HNY that credit only goes for 1 actor. Yes it’s understandable cos non of d cast had given an opening collection better than SRK.
But in case of BROTHERS ,SID has a better opening day record than Akshay. Sid along with varun ranveer are biggest gainers. Ahead of akki now. So if brothers is a success just like u ddnt call abishek name for hny does that mean for brothers it’s only 1 actor that will b credited? Who? Why? Reason? Plus keep in mind that SID is ahead of akki in his records last year to know. Who will u credit BROTHERS TOO?
Good to see only akshay among d top guns to join d league of top gainers n losers for 2015 along with way I tot initially Akki name dosent have to b there cos these new gainers n losers are meant more for new stars. Not akki just breaking in now 2015??? Wait a minute? Any top 6 actors movies released from January to July?? Ahhh nooo!! Okay that’s why??
@thullu carrier baby, you obnoxious freak, whose films are topping the BO charts since 2008 consistently? Be it India or overseas whose movies are leading first 3 positions? In aamir’s absence who gave back to back blockbusters? And don’t cry about talaash as it was a pure multiplex movie with no mass speak and released on non festival and still got a hit status while coward srk or akshay dont even dare to do those kind of movies due to insecurity as they can not match ace khan Mr.Perfectionist who is not only their baap in stardom, popularity and fan following but also in acting, talent, charisma, screen presence and perfection. If they would have done talaash than talaash would have been disaster like Bombay velvet. Oh should I remind you the epic disaster 8*10 tasveer of joker Kumar? Nahi na????. Now don’t cry so much. Aamir and Salman are biggest crowd pullers and this bitter reality will always hut you but its not gonna change. And one more thing, dhoom 3 was much better than crap lungi express. Dhoom 3 took earth shattering opening on no holiday only because of one name. King aamir khan.
@navin,I think your insanity now a days touches it’s peak or may be you’re forgetting now a days to drink complan with our beloved complan boy(@sky),then what is this :CONSISTENCY REDEFINED
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/10-hits-in-a-row-for-shahrukh-khan-consistency-redefined/
KING KHAN’S 11 AND CONTINUING….while our so called big stars sallu amir failed to give 6th and 7th hit in a row.that’s the difference between papa’s made media created stars and SELF MADE GLOBAL MEGASTAR.
@The PHENOM,@fan pk ,I told you to stay away from midgettard complan boy aka @skysky as he is an expert of swirling fact.now he’ll teach you why DEEPIKA failed with every actors besides KING KHAN,mark that clearly.
KAJOL,DEEPIKA,ANUSHKA,SHILPA,RANI,PREITY all has huge success with KING KHAN.while PEOPLE knew very well how many of them got success with working with our chotu and how many of them even didn’t wanted to work with chotu,ROFL.
Ha ha ha ha,peoples are talking about Asoka vs Indian
KING KHAN with kareena vs clash—-asoka(flop)
amir with Kareena and rani (solo release )—-talash(flop)
Only difference is Asoka was an experiment cult classic with home banner launched newly clashed with a masla movie,but what happened to amir’s 4 year promoted talash, as even new comes like varun is giving now a days giving hit in non holidays,ROFL.this called chotu’s stardom!!!!!
yeah KING KHAN conquered 15 FILMFARES,while b-town and peooles were talkingbabout KING KHAN,at that time many people ignored little success films like lagaan,dch like a trash and before 2008 many people were ignorant of the name amir khan,some of them were asking who is he,lol.lagan completely overshadowed and kicked by GADAR ,thanks to Ashutosh Gowarikar for retaining some entertainment like cricket match unlike SWADES,otherwise lagaan would have our chotu’s 4 th disaster after atank hi atank,awal number,raakh.inspite having SWADES as a below average film,still IT considered as the beat Ashutosh Gowarikar film and even far better than lagaan by many critics.about Oscar nominations,KING KHAN has highest India’s official entry movies than amir.while TZP is really a good movie which came to limelight ,thanks to Darshil for overshadowing over actor amoor in the,amoor is such insecure he took the whole credit even though he didn’t wrote the story of TZP.amoor is nothing but a creditchor,HE couldn’t be a GENUINE CLASSIC ACTOR like KING KHAN ,HE afraid if REAL CLASS movies,his extent up to 3i/pk/rdb like entertaining masala wannabe classic not GENUINE CLASS like VZ,DEVDAS,PAHELI,SWADES,CDI,MNIK.3 filmfare winning actor’s are cruing like hell,but they forgot WHO IS THEIR BAAP(15 FILMFARE WINNER.please don’t talk about VERSATILITY,which our amoor couldn’t do a single VILLAIN role in 26 years of career.ha ha ha ha I think quality means crap according to amoor and his fans.may HNY is has a good story compared to pk,but still an intelligent can easily say KING KHAN in HNY acted 1000 times better than amoor ‘s irritating iveracting in pk(probably humshakals like performance,rofl).this is the reason why amoor will keep choosing good stories,but will be kicking out every year from best performance even defeating by actors like SHAHID KAPOOR.because he is a wannabe actor/over actor.it’s really painful to see someone is struggled 26 years of career with only 11 hits(5 big success),credit goes to south remake,raju papa,dhoom brand.ha ha ha ha and his 2rs fans is still in a doubt if pk can do 100cr china still talash couldn’t do even 10 million total overseas.still if we ask ,who is amoor,then we might get the answer the actor who worked with raju hirani’s pk/dhoom3’s actor?????it will be a treat if dangal pandey will cross KANK’S OVERSEAS collection,or will collect at least 1cr in china.I mean amir is ignorant star in the whole world roaming with midget success.neither complan can help to improve his growth and nor can prolong his 11 hit career to at least 16 hit holder akshay kumar(seems very very difficult) nor could improve his acting skills which can made him at least once more the best actor of the year(people forgot when it happened last time).so he is the complan star and his fans are complan fans.hopefully the bootlegger again get the chance to work with Raju hirani/dhoom like big films otherwise his existed 2-3 fans will again will lost in the darkness who born after 2008 along with their star.leave China,if this 90’s unknown or pre-2008 puny average giving star will get fully India that’s a big achievement.as his remained 2-3 fans is not even wishing on his birthday near his residence,rofl.and his fans are talking about china,ROFL.5 success in entire life and their fans are jumping like in such a way as chotu RULED ALL DECADES,ROFL!!!!!
@rew1,oh ho,why error not found?????
FEBRUARY MONTH RELEASE—-MNIK(HIT)—-205CR WW
BAKRI EID release with high screen,high ticket price—-talash(flop)!!!!!
Who is chotu khan?????
chotu is the actor who lost the clash with KING KHAN in 90’s
Atank hi atank(disaster) VS RAM JAANE(AVERAGE)
Ha please don’t write wrong facts.chotu/motu doesn’t has the aukat to defeat KING KHAN is a CLASH, got that kiddo?????
don’t you know WHO RULES 2 BIG FESTIVAL SEASON
EID—-CE(422 CR)
DEEWALI—-HNY(385CR)
SOON CHRISTMAS will be conquered.
KING KHAN helped to made 3 BIGGEST BANNERS in bollywood—-YRF,DP(as they didn’t have big success before worked with KING SRK),HIS OWN RCE.
while papa’s made actors like sallu,amir made their home productions even degraded (which produced films are arming like b grade like dabang2,Delhi belly),and please don’t ask about their previous worked productions(Rajshri(saved many time’s salman career now sunk),amir’s chacha productions) people completely forgot those productions.and chotu fans are talking about DEEPIKA and RANI.if A MAN can MAKE such huge 3 BANNERS,then what’s the big deal for HIM to give BEST HEROINES like DEEPIKA,RANI to bollywood?????ha ha ha ha logic and salmir fan’s mind are two opposite face of a coin,ROFL.
KING KHAN RULES BOLLYWOOD.
@babaji ka thullu,well said amir khan is behind akshay Kumar in terms of popularity as well as success.akshay with out Raju papa/dhoom brand —-16 hits in 23 years,amoor with out raju papa/dhoom brand—-9 hits in 26 years.same on these papa’s boys,ROFL.
@indicine,kindly delete my 2:22 am incomplete comment and please kindly publish my very important 2:34 AM comment and show it to all,thanks.
@ballaji thallu
Yes I completely agree with with that “Salman aamir movies worked bcos of them not other factors for d rest” logically it’s true.
But I think I may disagree but correct me if am wrong.
Rdb talaash 3idiots pk dhoom 3 etc recent movies have
Rdb..I don’t know most of their names
Dhoom3 ..abhi uday kat(I think 2maximum filmfr award may b even 1)
Pk ..sushant singh anushka(dunno bout filmfare or natnl award)
Talaash..kareena rani(both film fare awards)
3 idiots..kareena ranchos madhavn somthng joshi(guy in golmaal 1).
VS
Welcome..Anil kapoor and Nana pathekar.. right
BUT come on
Anil is not only a Hindi superstar Hollywood star and serial actor,this guy has several FILMFARE AWARDS I think a national award,world’s biggest AWARDS OSCARS have 8 nominations n quite decent awards for Anils n dev main lead movie SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) apart from super hits to blockbuster Anil has contributed.
NANA PATHEKAR one of d MOST VERSATILE ACTORS LIVING, not only PADMA SHREE NATIONAL AWRD and loads of hits n super hits movies he is d 1st Bollywood Actor to win 3 FILMFARE AWARDS IN 3 CATEGORY)
best actor
supporting
Villian.
He too is a massive actors in short both r one d VERSATILITY ACTORS we have. Akshay no doubts is a very big superstars(4get bout castigating him cos of 1 particular lunatic) no doubts. Welcome definitely became a blockbuster!!
So I feel comparing d casts of both ZAmora recent movies with Welcome,definitely based on d above star casts portfolios none of them come near d 2 combinations of welcome star casts.
*comparing with both d recent star casts of aamir recent movies with welcomes srarcast*
Was wat I meant ..typng error
ek tha tiger 32.92 cr
And Abhishek bachan hve given bigger opener then SRK …Dhoom 3 buahaha so HNYs iz Hit cos of Abhishek , Srk nd Deepika too ..! credit goes to the 3
@Babaji what is your problem???? why can’t you just accept the reality that aamir is the biggest superstar now. I hate excuses. don;t act immature. dhoom 3’s opening despite non holiday proves his stardom. if srk or salman had been in PK then opening would be lower than it is with aamir. and well what can i say about akshay? he is still chasing his own RR’s opening which was 3 years ago in 2012.
It’s clear Shah rukh Dilwale will b d highest earner. Factors
1. Release date
2. Star power of Shah rukh khan
3. Star power of powerful kajol devgan
4. Outsiding hit ratios and top entry 2015 New kid on d block Varun dhawan
5. Chartbuster movie
6. Last not d least the only director who reads mind of d audience already and then transform it into a big massy hit!,rohit shetty and also 100% track record since 2006 golmaal-2014 singhsm returns. Highest grossing Bollywood director for this decade with most 100crores-235 crores.
Conclusion. We are talking about massive numbers @ box office this year and potential winner!!
Shah rukh ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
SRK STARDOM
@ yuvraj akki sir always better when it comes to the action & comedy .
@babaji why dhoom 3 came in the picture, why you pointing Aamir for high ticket rates while it done by all star when it come to holiday release. D3 ticket rates wasn’t hiked just see below link (even I seen d3 & k3 for same price)
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/dhoom-3-advance-booking-report/
Only imax format was high rates because of new technology, when ra 1 & Don 2 released in 3D version the avg ticket rates of 3d was 30% hiked.
Yo may not enjoyed d3 but it became all time grosser in every circuit of India & overseas, so appreciation was there. Its ww was 140 cr more than ce trade ww which was second highest. Even at imdb both k3 & d3 rated as 5.5/10 so quality if both was equal.
Selling ticket at higher cost is still better than manipulation which done in k3 & bang bang case.
You believe in bang bang 181 cr figure. Right.
Let’s see hr fans excuses-
1. Bang bang had non holiday release despite it was having (2nd Oct,Dushhara,Sunday,bakri eid) almost 4 holiday in first 5 days.
2. It had competition with haider.
3. Ticket rates is lower than kick,hny,pk
4. It had unnecessary negativity after release for content.
Still bang bang collected 181 cr.
Hny which released later collected 204 cr, as with kick & hny ticket increased so basically bang bang ticket rates were lower than hny with 10%.
So bang bang collected same as hny.
Despite hny had bigger starcast,full holiday release, not much negativity. That too with extremely mixed wom,competition and non holiday.
So as per your logic Hrithik is bigger star than any actor as its less appreciated film collected 181 cr on non holiday pre diwali time while Salman & SRK career highest grosser was 233 & 226 respectively and they were holiday release with positive wom & hiked ticket rates. Let’s not discuss Aamir as his films are far ahead than others in present time.
@ gj007 :
Don’t bring ‘budget’ into account . If you like to talk about ‘budget’ , I’d like to remind you that Chennai Express was a much more profitable venture , compared to Dhoom 3 !!!
… and one more thing , you guys can compare Asoka with Indian , MNIK and Dabangg , RNBDJ and Ghajini , HNY and PK … and I can’t compare TZP with Welcome ?
@ sky :
LOL
Whenever I try to talk about Box-office , you start talking about ‘acclaim’ . The next moment when I start to talk about appreciation , you start talking about records !
Irony is that , you still want to call yourself ‘sensible’ !!!
@ Rew 1 :
LOL
Being Aamir fan, you don’t know anything about his ‘records’ .
Let me tell you some of them .
SRK’s Ram Jaane (29 Nov 1995) – 9.5 crore – Above average
Aamir’s Akele Hum Akele Tum (29 Nov 1995) – 4.5 crore – Flop
This is the ‘KING SRK’ I’m talking about .
… and the film that you are talking about is Aatank Hi Aatank (2 crore) was a DISASTER , ha ha ha !
Even SRK’s Zamana Deewana (5 crore) collected more than double of that , LOL !!!
That is the ‘KING SRK’ I’m talking about .
Got that ?
@ Navin Dadaji :
With each passing day not only you are growing older, but also you are becoming more and more hypocrite . And even after that, you always like to bash @ Babaji and @ nipun .
While bashing them you keep on saying that K3 trade fig is 177 crore .
Do you know HNY trade fig is 183 crore ? So who has highest grosser ?
BTW , the thrashing that your Lallu Bhai received at the hands of Shahrukh in 2006 , was also during Diwali … I’m sure you still remember it !!!
The categorisation should be Highest Holiday opener and non-holiday opener for each star.
@the phenomenon its you who brought tzp vs welsome, earlier you compared swades with Dhobhi Ghat.
Its you who always bring these type of comparison, regarding Asoka vs Indian, it was just to say that Srk lost in diwali clash battle, Asoka was a flop, if it was a success than we can’t say srk lost. Its your problem whenever you come for argument your facts always wrong or inappropriate which was also with ddlj & tzp figures. Talking about sense it you who pointing that I am talking rubbish, but why you forget you too talking non sense, neither you nor me here posting comments with sense every time. Ironically Aamir had huge sucess both in critical and commercial Zoner, so we can talk that. Ok
@ skyfall :
It was you who compared Raakh (1989) with YLJK (2004) , which was absurd .
Then I had to compare Swades (2004) with Dhobi Ghat (2011) , which was also absurd , but a bit more realistic .
Regarding sensibility , I’ve accepted multiple times that I’m not sensible .
HUHUHUHUHU My prediction about opening day collection- BB-25 to 28 cr ( FLOP ) PRDP-20 to 24 cr (FLOP) DILWALE-32 to 35 cr (if clash) / 37 to 40 cr (if no clash) – ( ATBB ) All of this films will release on NON-HOLIDAY. BHAITARDS ROXXXX……….. HUHUHU.
@phenom ram jaane was also flop. You cant make up aamir’s verdicts on your own and vm cant defend srk’s verdicts by taking them up. And don’t forget the srk you are talking about has given industry’s biggest disaster ever yeh lumhe judaai ke and aamir hasn’t. Aamir is miles ahead of srk in everything.
@phenom you know how much yeh lumhe judaai ke collected? 39 lakhs. What a shame for the king? Yes srk should be called king of disasters. Aamir has never given such embarrassing disaster in his career and never will. This record of sarookh will always remain unbroken. ????????. But will srk ever give as many all time blockbusters as aamir?????? No way. It’s not his cup of tea to match his baap in stardom, acting, perfection, fan following, everything.
@js HUHUHU King’s HNY> JAI HO + KICK in terms of 1st day collection. Remake king SALWOMAN is nothing without his south remake. HUHU DubGAY KING ROXXX…….
