Analysis:

  • Aamir Khan has dominated the overseas markets in the last few years. PK, Dhoom 3 and 3 Idiots are at the top of the list. Bajrangi Bhaijaan could make it to the Top 3.
  • Shah Rukh Khan is by far the most popular actor overseas. 9 of the 20 films featured SRK in the lead. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which released nearly 14 years ago, is the oldest film in the Top 20.
  • Aamir – Rajkumar Hirani and SRK – Karan Johar are the most successful actor-director duo in the overseas markets. All Karan Johar films, including his debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, have opened well.
  • With Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan is now a major force in all the overseas territories too. The Kabir Khan directed film has become the top grosser in UAE/GCC and could become the 2nd highest grosser of all time, if and when it releases in countries like Japan and China.
  •  Almost every Shahrukh Khan film in the last 10 years, except Chak De India (which was surprisingly a poor grosser compared to other SRK films), has made it to the Top 20. Do note that those films might have been replaced by newer films in the Top 20 list.
  • Hrithik Roshan has 3 films in the Top 20, including his supporting act in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

  • When it comes to overseas we all know there’s only star who has dominated the market like nobody else in the history of Indian cinema.Some debutants entered the league after 2009 and so but they have to keep on delivering blockbusters one after the other for a decade to even be compared with SRk

  • Wait for Dilwale now.. it will surely challenge first spot.. if not that it will take 2nd spot for sure.

  • Bajrangi Bhaijaan collected this much coz both Indian and Pakistani audience came out in no. to watch the film as it was related with both the countries.

    Mark my words::
    Neil Nitin bhai bachayo the crap barjatya wedding album won’t collect 75crs overseas and will establish the fact that Bajrangi Bhaijaan was tapori bhai’s fluke success.

  • King fans say BB is successful in overseas due it’s content Bhai’s stardom nothing to do with them. According to Same logic all these king movies are successful in overseas due their content. King has zero starpower there….!!!

  • Top stars in overseas.

    SRK – 9 films in top 20.
    Hrithik – 3 films in top 20.
    Abhishek – 3 films in top 20. ( KANK, Hny, D3 )
    Hirani – 2 films in top 20. ( PK, 3i)
    Nawaz – 2 films in top 20 ( BB, Kick)
    Irrfan – 1 film in top 20. ( Lunchbox)
    Aamir – 1 films in top 20 (Taalash, thanks to Nawaz, Bebo)
    Salman – 0 film in top 20 ( but 20 in top 20 but in court)

  • Now beat this 9 out of 20

    Srk’s every movie has made it to top 20
    Aamir’s oldest movie is rajkumar hirani’s 3 idiots which was released in 2009
    Miles to go to even cum close to srk

  • How can someone be called ‘GLOBAL KING’ if he doesn’t even a single movie in the top 3. ??
    Aamir rocks, Sarook shocked.
    Aamir has been the king of Overseas since 2008, 8 years in a row.

  • Shah Rukh Khan dominated overseas, 9/10 films out of 20 has proved it. most famous star ever. No comparison!

  • First of all before saying anything about this article i just love this picture . I always admire you Indicine for your Domestic collections but this time you have done a terrific job in overseas collections also . I never knew that Lunchbox did more overseas business than Kick . With the release of BB the competition in the overseas market has increased rapidly . Before BB the competition was always between SRK and Aamir but now Salman is now becoming popular in overseas . If everything goes well than BB will beat 3 Idiots and will come in Top 3 . Hrithik has been very successful in overseas with movies like Krrish, Dhoom 2, Jodhaa Akbar, ZNMD, Kites, Krrish 3 and Bang Bang . With Mohenjo Daro Hrithik can definitely do 100 CR in Overseas . If PRDP is like MPK and HAHK then it will do huge business in overseas because HAHK was the first Indian movie to collect 100 CR Worldwide .

  • Every one knows that srk made overseas
    business with his old movies .
    Ex : baazigar and ddlj etc .
    srk has dominated overseas even with
    Ra one type of movie.

    Now eagerly waiting for Dilwale to break
    dhoom 3’s record in overseas.
    Fan and Raees has an excellent chance of
    entering 200+crore in overseas respectively.
    Srk and hrithik rocks .
    bhai as usual Sox boooo !!!!

  • Next year Fan and Raees and mohenjo daro will be sure shot 200 crore grossers in overseas inshalllah .

  • I’m a big Salman Khan fan and absolutely loved Bajrangi Bhaijan.. But must say thr is no movie better than 3 idiots..

    @Babaji ka Thullu… Buddy u r a bad bet when u say PRDP would be crappy.. Probably u have no idea how much HAHK had grossed in Yr 94.. Nd it took many yrs to cross it by other movies..
    Nothing can beat a family movie genre in both India nd overseas if it is well made…
    M sure PRDP would mk records

  • love the line of indicine ” salman khan is the new force in overseas”…… I think issi line se babaji ko mirchi lagi

  • Wow
    1.Aamir
    2.Aamir
    3.Aamir
    4.Salman
    5. onwards everyone else.
    Enough said. Noone can pull crowds in overseas like Aamir.

  • @babaji keep dreaming and predicting jealous guy you also said bajrangi bhaijaan will be jai ho 2 lol on u
