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 Do note that those films might have been replaced by newer films in the Top 20 list.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.

  • so with one good movie bhaijaan again proved he is biggest superstar even in overseas without global holidays like happy new year and christmas he is beaten all and soon will become top 2.Bhai power.

  • That says it all..
    SRK-9
    Amir-4
    Salman-3
    King will be king..kitne aaye aur gaye…
    Top actor of all time by BOI..most no.of cult movies..14 Filmfares..Got award from UNESCO for charity..Ambassador of interpol..Respects women unlike two other khans..Worlds most popular actor-BBC..Humble,kind..He loves his fans..
    These r some of his achievements..#Respect
    Not fair at all to compare SRK with 2009 born stars like Salman Khan and Amir khan…enough said

  • srk just need universal positive WOM for his films
    a crap like hny collect 100cr in oversease then what if his any of upcoming movies get Positive WOM

  • After pk’s release in japan n korea, 50cr is sure so 800cr ww is confirmed… Another club will be opened in September only for aamir khan but others have to wait 2-3 years to get entry…

  • Kabhi alvida naa kehna(2004),Kabhi Khushi kabhi Gham(2001),On Shanti Om(2007) are still in top 20..this is enough to show where two other khans actually stands

  • @ babaji ka thulla- first time i am angry with you but rajshree is currently oldest working banner and if you talking bullshit about their movies then nobody can save your mind after release of prdp.

  • Ha ha ha ha,with one success bhai fans gone mad.DILWALE year to come and will beat dhoom3 in overseas easily.and with FAN and RAEES ,KING KHAN will conquer overseas.

    Still 9/20 are KING KHAN’S FILMS.still bhojpureans had forgotten their limit,lol.anyways Neil nitin bhai bachao will again show bhai’s aukat at overseas,thanks to Harshali and Nawaz/Kabir for giving at least one rememberable film to out bhojpuri non actor.

  • @Babaji : I can understand your frustration for not finding Joker Khiladi in the list. First ask Akki to give a single HGOTY then talk about Salman. Just like BB, PRDP will prove you wrong !!!!!!! You were chanting blah blah before BB release and now giving entire credit to script !!!!!!!!! Joker’s Baby also crossed 90 due to Terrorism topic else his limit is 60 crs !!!!!!!!!

  • Salman has done Jale pe NAMAK by beating MNIK in overseas. Where are those idiots who claimed Salman will chase KANK in overseas and will not break MNIK in overseas even in 7 births ??? Now officially King’s is dethrone from all areas !!!!!!!!!! Le Le le Le Rey !!!!!!!!!! Chal beta (srk fans) burnol ley ley re …… Chal beta (srk fans) ice cube ley ley re !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-p

  • @buddaji ki makki
    barjatya’s wedding album is the first film that conquerd overseas so dnt cry

  • Mohanjodharo might enter in top two next year
    Prdp 15 cr max coz it’s deewali not eid
    Dilwale might do unexpected
    Might be 20M might be 30M
    Brothers will be 10M
    Dangal 10M max no hirani no brand this time and no Christmas

    Fan 25 M

  • SRK has never given big hits without either big banner or heroine, see his career & now he is dependent on Varun. Time To Retire.

  • @7:56pm

    Forget it old man- jadoo boys morning darr will pale in comparison to Baahubali in overseas…! Morning Darr will be Jadoo Boys Asoka or Veer type disaster- some actors should stick to what they do best n your jadoo boy should just stick to shivering n manipulation…!

    PS Bhojpori Brothers succeeding overseas…? In your dreams- let it conquer bhojpor first old timer…!

  • So, its clear Aamir and Salman are megastars
    and SRK is at bottom with series of FLOPs and disasters
    Salman and Aamir’s Last Movies Crossed 300cr but SRK with Overpromotion and Free Ticket Schemes Couldn’t Even Touch 180cr.

  • srk thinks he is bigger star but every one knows who holds all records at the BO. VARUNWALE will be ATD( All Time Disaster). DANGAL will be another history in ATBB list.?

    Srk fans are very insecure losers. Even after seven years consecuttive defeat they still don’t stop barking.

  • Let’s see how much the so so called great actor Aamir khan’s Dangal collect in 2016..Because other than Hirnai’s pk and 3i and Dhoom series, non of his films are even in top 15, lol. All of his other films hasn’t collect even more than 2006 release Kabhi Alvida NA Kehna, forget about rejected film like Ra.one !!

  • @chameleon baba kSHITij

    PRDP wont collect 75cr coz it will easily collect 175cr overseas but its your ‘Sid bhaiya bachao bhojpori joker boy ki flop career ko’ that will struggle to collect 75cr domestic…!

    Sid is strong but even he wont be able to drag 60cr clubs king into 70cr club…!

  • SRK’s 2010 release MNIK’s collection is just lil lower then the BB collection…..@indicine dont you think it shoul be 25% higher then MNIK…cause every year footfalls increases & also screens are increasing with every release????
    Plz reply

  • Hahaahahaa
    @indicine

    Does Crappy Old Year’s overseas’ box office collections include China collections of 1.68 crores on 5000 screens? ????

  • SRK having 9 out of 20… i.e. 45%
    Aamir have 4 out of 20… i.e.20%
    And
    Salman have only 3 out of 20.. i.e. 15%
    Anddd
    In One of your recent article u said tht salman is challenging srk in overseas..LOL indicine

  • SRK’s track record in Overseas Hit — 35, Blockbuster — 20, ATBB — 10, HGOTY — 14, BHGOTY — 7, THGOTY — 3, ATG — 6 — THE KING. He is unmatchable in Overseas!!!!!

  • wat a shame for global superstar.. it took just one good film for salman to beat srk black n blue.. no top grosser for srk in india, overseas n worldwide.. global superstar my a$$.. also remember the success of srk in overseas goes to yrf n dharma.. they made his status outside india.. firstly bcoz of the NRI based films.. also back then romantic movies were a rage.. n yash chopra, adi chopra n karan johar were masters of romantic films.. they presented their movies like nobody could in their generation.. they were masters of their art.. grand films, hugely popular music, top notch production values.. thus he became popular among NRI’s.. n now coming to another aspect of srk.. his so called 10 consecutive hits records.. first of all it is bullshit.. ra.one was a flop the world knows it the trade knows it the audience knows it.. ok even if we believe it remember srk worked with best of the names of bollywood like farhan akhtar, karan johar, yash chopra etc with festive release n managed just hit status.. anybody who works with such iconic directors n such big banners n release it in festive will definitely get a hit status.. even tushar kapoor would have done it.. can u imagine srk working with abhinav kashyap, siddique, kabir khan, aneez bazme, arbaaz khan, sajid khan mostly debutant directors or not so good or famous or big league directors n giving blockbusters n all time blockbusters! neither were they backed by big production houses except.. even a mediocre movie like jai ho with a pathetic director pathetic production values pathetic heroine pathetic music non festive release n reduced ticket price did wat jthj did! n dat was a yash chopra yrf ar rehman gulzar katrina anushka backed movie with a festive diwali release..

  • Shah Rukh Khan rules… he is the BAAP of everyone when it comes to Overseas.. He has the most no. of films in top 20, he has almost 10 while the rest of B’wood has also 10 ( SRK >> B’wood in overseas), more than combined of both Aamir and Salman’s films & all bollywood actor’s films so it would be the most stupid thing ever if you compare anyone with Iconic KING in overseas..

    Also if we talk about Blockbusters SRK has 20, Salman has just 1 or you can say 2, Aamir 3 (all on Christmas, zero without Christmas) now you can guess how big and famous SRK is in overseas.. better for everyone and for other Bhojpuri’s fans to compare their local, non famous & non actors with SRK only in domestic.. comparing them with Iconic KING would be a big insult for the word insult itself as well as for Bollywood…
