Bollywood megastar Salman Khan turns 51 today. Currently at the very peak of his career, Salman continued his extraordinary run at the box office this year with Sultan – currently the year’s highest grosser. No other film through the entire year, until the release of Aamir Khan’s Dangal, had been able to collect even half of what Sultan did.
The actor who began his career with a supporting role in ‘Biwi Ho To Aisi’ went on to deliver the biggest blockbuster of the 80s in Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. Salman followed it up with yet another terrific decade, topping the 90s with ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ along with other hugely successful films like ’Karan Arjun’, ‘Hum Saath-Saath Hain’ and ‘Biwi No 1’.

While the 2000s was a lean patch, Salman did what very few actors have achieved. He came back stronger with films like ‘Wanted’, ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’, ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Kick’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ and ‘Sultan’. All films were blockbuster barring his fourth film with Sooraj Barjatya, which did well enough to cross the 200 crore mark.
2017 could well be the biggest year of his career, as Salman has two mega releases during two of the biggest weekends – Kabir Khan’s Tubelight during his favourite weekend Eid and Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai during the biggest weekend of the year Christmas. Both potential 300 crore plus grossers.
When it comes to sheer fan-following and the kind of craze that his films generate – from the biggest of cities to the smallest of villages – Salman is the benchmark of super-stardom. A man whose presence is bigger than the director, co-stars, script and the film itself.
Here’s wishing Salman Khan a very happy 51st birthday. We pray for his success and good health.
@sss truth remains truth. and the truth is srk failed to cross the opening day collections of ett with more screens and ticket prices, and because he is coward he manipulated the collections to show that he can actually beat salman. same happened again with dhoom3. yes i have got these numbers from boi.com the same site from which you have got the 9 lack opening of hahk. i guess indicine don’t keep those numbers and who knows what producers quoted at that time.
i have said it many times i am only interested about numbers not ranking. let srk remain number 1 an ranking , i have no problen because i know very well when his films will release at the boxoffice they will bite the dust always.
srk has got solo festive releases and has created all time record by not crossing post ipl release, i have mentioned it, so no point of repeating.
you have made these claims earlier also and has humiliated your star, history will repeat again in2018 christmas again, and that day no one is going to save srk from bashing.
@sss-Bro, you have already done your job, the rickshawala fans of lallu couldn’t make it to indicine to wish him, but due to Deepika’s Dishonest Dog and you, this article has crossed 200 comments. If we educated people weren’t here, this rickshawalas would feel lonely in this site. So thank you for giving company to Dishones Dog.
@Nangi naach : What a joke ? You filled comments & sites like Indicine but not theaters when your queen releases her movies with tribute to her fans ? Get treated very soon, you need it badly !!!!!!!!! Else you & your queen name will be only on polls & sites not in theaters.
@sss : Only a retard like you keep ranting same stuff which is no longer cared by anyone. Not only 2009 till 2090 your kingu will be # 1 on Pluto not on earth !!!!!!
@NN,you rocked Bro.dishonest dog,it’s too much Hilarious,rofl.
@dishonest dog,yes KING KHAN only manipulated but doesn’t know who manipulate in all these movies.
kick—-official(233cr)—-trade(212cr)—-21cr difference
prdp—-official(214cr)—-trade(194cr)—-20cr difference
Ha ha ha Ha.then must be bhaijaan’s driver would have started in lead int these movies right dishonest dog????,rofl.
I too don’t care about no.s of recordless blockbuster you sadakchap star achieved by copying south movies and doing crappy masala genre movies.
I too care about THE NO.1 SPOT THE NO.1 SELLING STAR OF ALL TIME WHO DOMINATED IN A DECADES LIKE A GENERATION RULER.rather than a poor 2009 born talentless copy paste remake recordless non actor,rofl.
I only care about THE BIGGEST CROWD PULLING MEGASTAR who awarded by the star power rank as well star power points over there.which seems like fake to you.
still if you see
In Highest Grosser(1992-2016)—-KING KHAN kicked lallu 14 times in Highest grosser in 24 years.
and in OPENING—-KING KHAN kicked 16 times.
But you can’t accept.now you’ll manipulate things like by giving credit to anil,hrithik,deepika etc etc etc etc blah blah blah blah.
But WHO IS NO.1 IN THIS 2 DECADE—-KING KHAN.
SO THE POINTS PROVED AT THIS INSTANT ITSELF.
Ha ha ha Ha.come on now prove from your side with valid reason,rofl.and don’t come with same lallu logics.lallu can’t be no.1 in any decade,even in this decade also he is kicking by Aamir Khan.b utter but AFTER ALL IT’S TRUTH,ROFL.poor rikshawala ‘s poor logic,rofl.
@hrithik,from behalf of NN,if HE didn’t went the theatre then how DILWALE did 150cr and FAN did 84cr?????
If the same question will be aksed to you —-who lallu’s all films couldn’t crossed 16cr at least in last decade with out multistarrer and before Official Saviour Prabhu Deva ‘s arrival?????
Ha ha ha Ha,clean bold,rofl.
and from my side,if you can’t face your past and ashamed of it then how could be your star is biggest?even in golden period too he is kicked by Perfectionist Khan like a roadside dog.
LAST 2 DECADES DOMINATED BY BAADSHAH KHAN
This decade dominates by Perfectionist Khan.
So your lallu is no.1 in Pluto/pk’s planet but never in earth for sure,rofl.
@hrithik-In my country Indian films don’t get released. So there’s no way that I can contribute to boxoffice. Same way SRK has numerous fans in countries where Indian films don’t get released. That’s why he is called the biggest moviestar in the world.
@sss-Keep rocking bro. But kick only animals like Dishonest dog. After watching Star Screen Awards, I feel like we shouldn’t start bashing lallu unless some lallutards start bashing SRK. Whenever animals like Dishonest Dog insults King Khan we should come up with equally bashing answers.
@NN : I told in general not in specific. Whether you watch or not it wont make much difference but if where does this majority or Global following goes when SRK releases his movies ? If you are talking about Overseas let me tell you Aamir and Salman has already beaten SRK’s highest grosser in overseas and he no longer numero uno there. Do not behave like a retard @sss, I consider you have some sense than that senseless moron.
@sss (bhaade ka spell checker) : Keep ranting about past.In the same past, your queen did a soft porn movie and her movies like Oh ! Darling Yeh Hai India, Guddu, One 2 ka Four, Trimurti (despite multi starrer and big banners), Zamana Deewana (Sholay director retired after this debacle), English Babu Desi Mem all bombed and sank without any trace. In her best phase he was giving only tiny hits (consecutive) and in Salman’s best phase he is giving Blockbusters pe Blockbusters. Now feel the difference and shame and zip you mouth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@hrithik- Don’t preach about being sensible to others when you yourself are a bigot. You keep arguing on and on with your silly grammatically erroneous language till others don’t give a damn about you and your lallu anymore. What bullshit!!! Lallu has given only one grosser(BB) that is higher than King Khan in overseas and he has become bigger? According to that logic lallu is a tiny star compared to Aamir whose record he can’t break since God knows how long back. King Khan has 23 blockbusters overseas and BBC, CNN, Forbes, THe Guardian, THe Los Angeles Times etc all have declared him as the Biggest Moviestar in the world. And after giving 3/4 ekka dukka blockbuster in overseas lallu has become a bigger star…?!!! Lallu will forever be a Local star who has been the Teesra for the longest period of time in his own country, that is 2 back to back decades. And don’t call so much names targeting @sss, since he is far more sensible and good-hearted compared to the poisonous tongued Navina Aunty, Ultron Lallumaniac, Dishonest Dog, the Breast, Tiger the real chuhe etc. I have only one rule, if no lallutard bashes King Khan I would stay away from bashing lallu since they have now become friends. Kindly stop this argument here since I am no more interested in increasing the feedbacks of lallu’s flop birthday’s article and you should be ashamed of naming SRK’s ekka dukka flops since lallu is the King of flops with some 50 flops to his sole credit.
@NN : You are actually worse fanatic than @sss. Sometime I wonder you may be his lost brother (mela wala) in childhood but you are hell bent to prove you are master of this moronic creature. Even sensible SRK fan @Challa has certified his as retard. You keep licking his feet who cares. And it is better not to mention who audience care for the reality is open and visible since last 6 years !!!!!!! Get lost you loser !!!!!!!!!
@hrithik,but our bhabijaan is not in no.1 position even in his golden period.even in Holden period his opening is lessee than KING KHAN’S worse phase OPENING?????you taklu non actor’s opening was lesser than emraan hashmi in last decade meanwhile KING KHAN’S OPENING is far higher than lallu.ha ha ha ha.
And in last 2 DECADES,KING KHAN RULED NO.1 still with so called small hits.
But your beggar non actor is still struggling with recordless sadakchap c-grade blockbsuters,s o what’s the big deal?nothing.this decade’s big hits runs half by big holidays/script acceptance.
Even after getting script acceptance,Aamir Khan kicked your lallu everytime ,then what’s the points to have such blockbuster which neither is critically acclaimed nor hgoty?,rofl.
And every actor has flops.so as KING KHAN has.but KING KHAN never has 30 lakhs nischaiy,32lakhs yeh maajhdar and countless 37 flops and 7 disasters maximum.s sorry KING KHAN can’t achieve such MEGASTARDOM,rofl.and the decade struggling too,rofl.
But WHOLE TRUTH IS KING KHAN already RULED LAST 2 DECADES BY REMAINING JN NO.1 POSITION.but lallu is still struggling at spot-2 in his golden period.still bhabijaan roxx,rofl.
All SRKIANS are sensible like their wittiest MEGASTAR.so as every lallutards are dumb,riskhawala,classless,useless beggar criminals by Born.
It thought you’re more sensible than sadakchap @navin,@ultron,@nvs.but you proved me wrong.you’re more sadakchap then them,rofl.
And Maya Memsaab only for straight dil not for double gender star fans like lallutards,rofl.and the one who try to ignore their past are not real man,rofl.
From the behalf of (@NN),Many salman fans like @tiger,@anand supported me in twitter against challa’s backstabbing.does that mean they’re also retards according to you now?ha ha ha ha,what a logic.challa did backstabbing against ME AND KING KHAN.and as a result WE ALL SRKIANS thrown him out of SRK FANDOM where he associated.so no one wants a certificate from you and some other regards like @challa who is not faithful to his OWN STAR,then obviously he will be faithful for our enemies like you.you’re too a certified retard like @challa.both are beechde hue bha-bhai,rofl.
