A couple of weeks back, we had a poll for the most awaited Khan film of 2012. To keep the voting fair, we ensured that a user couldn’t vote twice from a single IP address or computer. The response was terrific over the last 12 days, as we received more than 6800 votes. Below are the results.
Most awaited Khan film of 2012
1. Jab Tak Hai Jaan (3188 votes) – The Shahrukh Khan starrer has won the poll by a overwhelming 47% votes. 68% of those who voted for the ‘Yash Chopra Romance’ were Indian residents, while the remaining 32% votes were received from overseas. The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. It’s scheduled for theatrical release on November 13th.
2. Talaash (1832 votes) – With 27% votes, Aamir Khan’s Talaash was voted as the second most awaited film of 2012. 71% of those who voted were from India, while the rest 29% from other countries like US (9%) and UK (7%). Directed by Reema Kagti, Talaash also stars Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji. It releases in theatres on November 30th.
3. Dabangg 2 (1825 votes) – It was always a close contest for the second spot, but Dabangg 2 takes the third spot falling short by just 7 votes. A staggering 84% of those who voted for Dabangg were from India. The film received 16% votes from visitors outside the country. Dabaang 2 is the sequel to the 2010 blockbuster Dabangg. The Arbaaz Khan directed film stars Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Prakash Raj. It releases days before Christmas on December 21st.

Dabang 2 flop.
Ask the audience what makes them watch a film in a theatre and the most common answer you get is “Star cast”. Yes, superstars ensure a good opening at the box office. But every few years, some existing superstars fade and a fresh set replaces them. Every superstar has his share of time on the silver screen, when his superstardom is at its peak. Dilip Kumar. Rajesh Khanna. Amitabh Bachchan. There is a definite, finite period for which they rule the marquee. Of course, their talent does not fade away, but the size of the audience that adores them dwindles over time.
While there could be multiple theories behind this transition, a key reason is that the movie going audience shows a churn every decade. So audiences who used to make a beeline in front of the theatres every Friday in the late 90s no longer visit them with the same frequency or passion. But their kids, nephews or nieces do.
Every time the film-going audience changes, their expectations from content change. So, the romance that worked in the 70s won’t work in the 80s and so on. By implication, a romantic star of a decade may not be able to deliver to the expectations of romance one or two decades later. Same for comedy or action.
Let’s look at our current superstars. The table below list the top 10 male stars in India based on their average popularity share from November 2010 to July 2012. (This data is collected through Stars India Loves, our star popularity ranking study conducted amongst 3,250 film viewers every month across 16 key theatrical markets).
Rank Hero Avg. Popularity Share Age
1 Salman Khan 44 46
2 Shahrukh Khan 28 46
3 Hrithik Roshan 23 38
4 Aamir Khan 21 47
5 Akshay Kumar 19 44
6 Ranbir Kapoor 12 29
7 Ajay Devgn 12 43
8 Shahid Kapoor 11 31
9 Amitabh Bachchan 8 69
10 John Abraham 5 39
The average age of our top 10 stars is 43 years. Even if we remove Amitabh Bachchan from this list, the average still remains 40 years. Only one star in the list is below 30 years in age (Ranbir Kapoor at 29 years).
In the next five years, the industry will face a problem as the top stars begin to fastart to fade away in the next five years. The Khans would be in their 50s, while Akshay Kumar & Ajay Devgn will be nearing 50. Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham will be in their mid-40s. Ranbir would lead the young pack, at a not-so-young age of 34 years.
We don’t see too many young faces coming up fast enough to secure their positions in the top 10, even top 20. Ranbir has a maximum of two releases every year.Even newcomers like Ranveer Singh or Ayushmann Khuranna are being selective in their film choices. While this may allow them to deliver better quality, it doesn’t exactly help in creating and strengthening their fanbase.
In sharp contrast, superstars had upto 4-5 releases in the 90s. They were constantly feedling their fanbase with a release every 3-4 months, in turn consolidating the fanbase and growing it all the time.
If superstars indeed fade away and equally strong replacements don’t arrive in time, it can affect the box office directly. Out of the 52 weeks in a year, about 15 weeks have special holidays and festivals, turning them into big weekend opportunities at the box office, of the tune of Rs. 50cr or more for the first three days currently. But this will be possible only with superstar-led films. If the industry has to maintain the current momentum of 25% plus growth in business year-on-year, it needs a new breed of superstars to take over soon.
Of course, like every Hindi film climax, while the situation may look grim, I hope that the ending will be a happy one. Just the way Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan came out of nowhere and catapulted their way to superstardom, there will be new ones who will emerge soon. Hopefully, Mere Superstars Aayenge.
hey guyz salman amir whatever they r but every year srk is taking the awarad and now also
Kingshuk Bhattacharjee: there are several news paper who said RAONE is crap sorry SRK fans I don’t keep the copy to send you guys. BOX OFFICE collection speak itself people like to see whom? I can say READY was simple movie that even cross 125 crores it is only because of TIGER.
ETT was not release in Pakistan otherwise it can cross 3-Idiots by huge margin.
Name of Srk is just running on polls because all jopless fans of srk are on the net everytime while Name of Being Human is running on ticket windows because all fans of Being human are loving him.
Wow!! Never knew 30% of the people voted from overseas, this the popularity of srk!!!
Look at salman’s only 16% lol
Salman fans we know today was ur worst day as u saw ur Upcoming mindless sequel movie at last position.
I would like to say one thing, movie is not about box office, it’s about how to win hearts of people not play with the hearts of people.
Ofcorse jabb takk hain jaan!! there is only one KING!
Abu ahmad u get it wrong Dabangg 2’s satellite rights was sold for 140 crores. if anybody doubts me then google ‘dabangg 2’ on google and check the result on en.wikipedia.org. On record now Dabangg 2 has d biggest satellite rights sold in d history of bollywood. And 4 those stupid haters of Salman who said Salman is not a good actor, does that mean that a bad actor can becomes a money spinner like Salman Khan? Even till date SRK never delivered 100 croreS for his god-father YRF but Salman did in his first ever signing with YRF!
“january 1st, 2013, filmi funda “: the list of biggest grossers in 2012 are –
1. ETT (199.18 crores)
2. Dabaang 2(187.9 cr)

4. Khiladi786(137.5cr)
5. Rowdy rathore(130.79 cr)
6. Agneepath(121.16 cr)
7. Son of sardar (117.47 cr)
8. Jab tak hai jaan(114.11 cr)
Can ETT join the 200 crore club?
after 34 days
199+
ETT figure is a little less than Rs. 199 crore
