The last time this article was updated, Shah Rukh Khan (after Happy New Year) and Hrithik Roshan (after Bang Bang) were occupying the Top 2 spots. The current list is more inline with the standing of the stars in the industry. Only Hrithik Roshan, who failed to deliver with his last release ‘Mohenjo Daro’, is below his actual standing in the industry.
Salman Khan is the undisputed No 1 star today, the superstar managed to take his Eid release ‘Sultan’ above the 35 crore mark, a day before the Eid holiday. Aamir Khan’s 2014 film ‘PK’ opened well at the box office, but it remains to be seen if his next film ‘Dangal’ can challenge the opening record of ‘Sultan’.
Shah Rukh Khan is someone who has always been consistent when it comes to the box office opening of his films. His last release, FAN, was a box office debacle but the film opened very well for an off-beat film.
Akshay Kumar exceeded expectations earlier this year when his multiplex film ‘Rustom’ managed to beat Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mohenjo Daro’.
Ranbir, Varun and Ranveer are considered to be the Top 3 when it comes to ‘younger generation’ of stars, who are not only trying to establish their fan-base, but could break into the big league in the next few years.
Ajay Devgn could make a strong comeback with ‘Baadshaho’ and ‘Golmaal Again’ next year, while Arjun Kapoor has the biggie ‘Half Girlfriend’.

@veer even welcome didn’t got a proper release due to revenue sharing problem between multiplex owners and producer association…. same goes with tashan
Both would have been record openers if they were released properly…!!!
Indicine
Either you are confused or you are more than one people who write these articles.
I remember once you denied to call fan an off beat film saying it has fight sequences and today you are saying it is off beat film.
First you decide what it is and then tell us.
Whatever you may say but truth is that it is not off beat film.
Off beat film means something like Guzarish, Black, Neel Battey Sannata, Masan. Fan was definitely not off beat film.
It was not as commercial as D3, CE or Sultan but that doesn’t mean it was completely off beat. It was just less commercial. It appealed to every section of audience except probably masses. But if films those don’t appeal to masses are to be called off beat then PRDP, PK, ADHM, Kapoor and Sons, Baby and many more films are also off beat films.
Salman Khan Undisputed King Of Bollywood……
Indicine again try to save Srk, if I am not wrong then Indicine you said this so many time that FAN is not an Off Beat film, it is less commercial but not an off-beat film, and now you are saying it is off-beat, please make up your mind and for God sake stop defending Srk every time……
LOL, Media Made Star Srk…..
@Death Ranger
if I have many accounts then all other fans many fake accounts be like a drop of water in sea in front of me.
Giving a honest prediction means you have many fake account then all honest commenters have many fake accounts.
you really want me to predict un imagine numbers for Kaabil. so that you can identify me as different guy.
For your humble requests, going to predict un imaginable collection for Kaabil from now.
KAABIL ::::: 300 Cr in clash
KAABIL ::::: 400 Cr in solo
@Saksham,Completely agree with u.I Feel u r the only HR fan here on indicine & most probably in the whole HR fanbase who is very sensible & honest with the comments, who doesn’t argue with others & the one who has his own opinion unlike others. I respect ur views & opinions bcz u always speak the truth in a very straight forward way.Never Get into this ugly fanwars & don’t change urself. Be the way u are.
BTW,
#Best of Good luck for Kaabil. ?

@Indicine, plz post this comment.
SRK ‘s Flop Film Fan still managed to Beat opening day of so called superstar akshay’s every films. So Plz dont compare Akshay with srk sir.We all know who is more popular. Bhai Fan from Nepal.
Logic gets new meaning in @ indicine dictionary.. Lolz.
Their desperate attempt to show and justify their fav star in bright spot reeks from sheer favouritism to blind fanlove.
@Indicine I disagree with u. SSR is the stsr of the movie and it grossed 21cr so give him the credit no excuses also stop calling fan an offbeat film .There are loads of intelligent Ppl here stop messing with our heads . What’s offbeat about fan ? Swades is the only offbeat sorry film in Srk career .
Fan is never an offbeat film.I mean it has all the commercial ingredients which released in 3500 screens.just bcoz it has no a list actress doesn’t make it an offbeat and offbeat films don’t get so many screens.if fan is an offbeat movie then what are movies like airlift,udta Punjab n rustom.
Fan was an Off-Beat Film??
An action packed second half,
Brilliant CHASE Sequences,
Good Dialogues
Didnt like Climax & Promotional Strategie but then You should blame DIRECTOR & YRF.
Yes Agree
Fan didnt have any
Chartbusters Songs &
Film was entirely dependent on SRKs Stardom but then
Even DANGAL is an Off-Beat Film.
Only SRKs Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa & Dear Zindagi &
Aamirs Raakh,Earth,TZP & TALAASH
are off beat Movies.
You included Dhob
@VEER yes ..akshay is only superstar whose movie used to open bigger than the khans between 2007 to 2010….that’s A great achievement.
I don’t see badshaho opening more than 10 cr … Multistarrer golmaal 3 will be the only good opener of legend devgn….
add sushant in this list…indcine khans k dalle..suck their lund
/*Salman Khan is the undisputed No 1 star today, the superstar managed to take his Eid release ‘Sultan’ above the 35 crore mark, a day before the Eid holiday.*/
Haters ke toh G phattnewala hai after reading this line.
Bhai is miles ahead of others. Akhir BAAP Baap hi hota hai!
@SRKCine… was not a offbeat and DZ is srk’s last release, then why the hell not Including ?! totally bias site I ever have seen. You support SRK more than Zealots and bhakts supports modi….
& weren’t Fan’s tickets increased ?! bias SRKCINE.
Akki is best
Dear Zindagi, superb…
Good list! An informative way to look at box office pull of some actors. But shouldn’t Sidhart have Baar Baar Dekho here and not Kapoor & Sons?
To be fair, the only off beat film in this list is udta Punjab. Fan was a commercial film. It was no dear zindagi. Now that is an off beat film
And also Indicine forgot that ADHM and Shivaay clashed too.
Fan was nt a offbeat film.it was promoted lyk a Commercial Movie,by that logic even Dangal is more off beat.it was The first holiday weekend that takes the movie ti 80 cr plus,
RAEES , 84 Cr solo & 42 Cr clash
Fan offbeat….
For indicine
In simple word srk or Hr kare to rasleela ….
but akki kare to character dheela ….
Wait brothers ….
Wait for 5 yrs …
Fan verdict will become below average .
and after some year it will become semi hit….
On indicine
Fan an off beat???
Seriously indicine great way to defend Mr srk khan
For ur kind info
Budget – 110cr
Production – yrf(one of the best in bollywood)
Location-outside india
Casting – Srk in double role
Promotion – above avag
Music-a hit no (Jabra fan)
Release – around 3500 screen
Gener – almost masala(without song)
You just have one point to put it offbeat bcoz it does not have any heroine
If it’s not appeals to single screen then should we call all multiplex movies offbeat???
You can say it’s less commercial compared to other event films
Have you ever defended Ajay or akhaya for this bcoz they are constantly doing this kind of off beat movies
If FAN is non commercial or off beat then Shivaay was a documentary !!!!!! Lol
Akshay is no.1 because he has 3 consecutive 100+ hits this year.
