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 Do note that those films might have been replaced by newer films in the Top 20 list.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

  • @PK 770CR.WW I Don’t find talash n Ghajni which released after 2008 opps sorry that wasn’t a Raju Hirani’s film even LRMB did more business

  • Dilwale will cross D3 $31mm mark then Fan will challege pk. Neverthless every film of srk after CDI blockbuster in oversease where amir need raju hirani n salman need childreen sympathy to make Blockbuster

  • As a diehard Srk fan i dont like to Amir and salmanon top but i respect the hard work they did for there movie and they deserve that.But dont forget Srk giving tough competetion even wining the battle of Weekend collection from last two year only he is not giving HATG or HGOY.Hopefully with Dilwale he will again get his king status which he Missing from 2008.

  • @hrithik OK then how gabbar , entertainment and holiday crossed 60 cr mark ??stick to reality lallu fan ..oh damn u r salman fan na , yeah u should post fake cmnts just like salmans fake action :P good combination…!
    BT remember before 2010 ur lallus movies were not even collecting 25% of akkis movies. C the difference…! Useless person

  • Ur lallu was not even close 2 akshays movies in overseas too at that time .
    Kbhi dekhe the lallu be 40 cr overseas m us waqt ? Hrithik
    SIK was biggest opener at that time ..!
    Don’t forget the past of ur lallu and khiladi king Casanova Kumar’s…!

  • first ever in the history of bollywood box office the producers figs are lower or lesser than trade figure…. indicine make an article about this

  • hats off to aamir
    highest srk 23 (mnik)
    highest aamir 23×2+1=47 (pk)
    more than double overseas king kaunsa uganda ka hahahaha lol

  • some idiots has interpreted it in the wrong way.Box office numbers of overseas are not the index of popularity. If it happens then tom,jhonny,leo are the one of the most popular stars but not their all movie earn mullah each time.It requires content to earn mullah but its star power which makes people aware of upcoming movies of respective stars.

  • @all srk’s haters like tiger, hrithik , komal and lots of other you guy r blindly haters any one will can easily observe to see that table that in top 20 list nearly 50 % belong to srk and rest 50% belong to rest of the industry

    in domestic you can say that it’s 19 – 20 matters srk always in top3 but in overseas your so called star challenge srk’s 2001 and 2007 realese one of the your big star broke KANK(2007) in last year (2014) I want to ask tum sab log 7 saal kaha gayab the ??

    for above list it’s now proof that srk forever 2001,2007,…….etc and till now but other were really 2010 born star.. and some born in 2014 ;) lol

  • @amir Nahi nahata,don’t forget your limit you 11 hit midget star’s fan,ROFL.

    dangal pandey+neil nitin criminal bachao’s overseas collection will be less than half of DILWALE’S OVERSEAS for sure.

    sallu fans don’t so excite from now on.

    Because DILWALE is year to arrive in THIS CHRISTMAS.pray for panauti sanjay leela bansali because instead of panauti’s saawariya challenged OSO becomes highest grosser of the year ,so if DILWALE will do that again no doubt slb will do suicide along with some bhojpureans too will do suicide.

    amir struggled 11 year to get HGOTY.
    salman struggled 15 years to get HGOTY.

    KING KHAN is only took 7 years and continuing.DILWALE will break that silence and send bhojpuris back to their paglapur and with next year’s CLASH,salman will retire from Bollywood.

  • to all this is hate akki who think akki is not popular in overseas you are wrong I from yemen and akki at the same popular of aamir and Hrithik her in the mid east only srk and salman bigger than him and also don’t forget akki have the most number of hits in overseas after srk and I think brothers will back to akki his success in overseas he have mush buzz her

  • @indicine what a joke? I just stated the fact and you didn’t publish my comment? I have noticed this that you have blocked many of my comments when I tried to go genuine facts even in fan’s poster article that released today. Kindly post all my comments. You post cheap vulgur comments of @SSS and @IanDhakkan and @Sunny Chuchi which have nothing but racist words like koyla, blacky, and many cheap words. Your site is completely biased towards srk and you allow extremely derrogatory comments against the biggest superstars aamir khan and Salman khan? Shame on your site.

  • Interesting Indicine makes articles on everything . BB crossed all other BW films in UAE/Dubai but no article . We need an article on it how much it ranks over other films

  • @YY mithauwala I can understand your frustration. Initially I thought you are the only sensible lungian fan but you proved me wrong and shows your aukaat as all srk’s loser shameless fans. Listen kid, stop acting like hypocrite. Aamir is baap of srk not only in India but in overseas also. Pk’s opening day>>>>>>>>>>>>>Crappy old year’s lifetime record in china. Ha ha ha ha. Aaya bada bolne. Tell your so called global star to give his second 20 millions grosser in overseas first. What is he without YRF and dharma BTW????????? Too much fun. Big depression in paglapur.

  • Kkhh UK collection was £1,800,000 which was only crossed by non srk starrer in 2013 by dhoom3. This one example is enough to prove his supremacy in UK. Leave alone k3g, devdas, khnh, kank, veerzara DDLJ, even his average trend ce did £2.2mn in UK.
    There is nothing special in BB and pk overseas collection because of growing market in USA and gulf.australia U will see every year previous record will being toppled. But benchmark that srk movies had established will be unmatched. Devdas, k3g USA collection were only surpassed in 2008 by jodha Akbar. Today even movie like twmr, piku, DDD easily cross 2 mn mark in USA. So indicine can’t compare pre 2009 movies with recent movies. 1998 KKHH released in just 15 screen in UK so just imagine what kind of trending would have been. Until 2006 only taal, HAHK, hdds, HSSH other than srk movie has crossed 1.5 mn in USA. DDLJ, KKHH, Mohbbatein, devdas, veerzara, kank khnh already crossed that benchmark.
    There was no movie other than srk movies (above mentioned with kank don etc) had crossed 1mn mark in UK until dhoom2 (which was less than even don) crossed first non srk movie. His chalte chalte, hum tumhare sanam kind movie were bigger grosser than all Amir salman movies till 2006 barring HSSH? And HAHK in USA. This will prove that magnitude of superstardom of srk in overseas.

  • @Funny Chachi : You are really funny. You asked me not to post fake comments whereas you yourself is posting fake comments. In 2010, Dabangg was Highest Grosser of the year with 140+ crs India collections. I didn’t know that you will 10-15 crs so seriously. We have reached Mount Everest (300 crs) n you still fighting for Khandala Ghat !!!!!!! Lol

  • @indicine you guys dont even know the fact….. salman has always been very popular among south asian population whether in south asia or anywhere in the world… the only problem for him was like he never used to have content driven films thats why in overseas his earlier movies did not do well…. now one movie with a good content and you guys saw the result….. its not that now his following has gone to the skyhigh …. his following was always there but in overseas content works and big banner and promotion helps…. salman does not even promote his movies properly…. a month ago the shooting finishes and the next month he releases in a rush …. look srkand aamir… their movies are complete a year before and still do rigorous whole six seven months and then only release…. they are very clever but salman has always been bigger than these khans….. neutral people like us can this clearly and i am not an indian as well and i am not a muslim as well. get acknowledged.

  • @Challa real global king aamir khan doesn’t need to prove anything to compare him with YRF, Dharma made stereotype romantic star who is no match to his caliber in versatility. It would be insult for aamir to compare him to even legend like Big B. There is no one like aamir in Indian cinema history. In fact you should better prey that srk at least matches aamir’s popularity which is reap popularity as he can cross 100 crores in china alone while its a dream for sarookh to cross 100 crores in one single country abroad. So Aamir is far ahead and in his own league. It would be honor for srk to be compared with real global king aamir khan.

  • @all srk’s haters like tiger, hrithik , komal and lots of other you guy r blindly haters any one will can easily observe to see that table that in top 20 list nearly 50 % belong to srk and rest 50% belong to rest of the industryin domestic you can say that it’s 19 — 20 matters srk always in top3 but in overseas your so called star challenge srk’s 2001 and 2007 realese one of the your big star broke KANK(2007) in last year (2014) I want to ask tum sab log 7 saal kaha gayab the ??for above list it’s now proof that srk forever 2001,2007,…….etc and till nowbut other were really 2010 born star.. and some born in 2014 ;) lol

  • just take a look ,d presence of lunch box reminds us DAT only content movies works in overseas so no 1 can argue on DAT but point is JTHJ ,RAONE & DON2,HAPPYNEWYEAR all r crap still in d list that’s show d power of SRK definightly ….he is popular in overseas since 90s bcoz has done many content rich movie & NRI based movie …the success of BB is not salmans popularity but credit goes to content…SRK already made his market & Salman is in making….that’s why he have 9 in d list & Salman have 3….NO comparison with amir bcoz he is absoultly nailed it by regular sucess

  • Gyuz lets jzt face it the producer figure and trade figure of Salman khan’s bajrangi bhaijaan is almost similar while krrish 3 producer figure is 70 cr higher than the actual figure And If Salman khan wanted then he could also manipulate with the collection of bb and could have easily crossed the lifetime collections of pk
