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 Do note that those films might have been replaced by newer films in the Top 20 list.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

BB still has a chance to collect more than 3 idiots and as indicine said once it releases in Japan & China it may overtake D3 also , so let’s see how it goes for BB as far as its overseas collections are concerned.
PRDP is also expected to do very well in overseas and if it is as universally accepted as BB or HAHK then $35 million is also possible after its 2nd or 3rd phase. Would love to see the movie cross 400+ crores in India & 230+ crores overseas & do what HAHK did, become the highest grosser of the decade & hold the record for next 5-7 years!
Pk’s overseas collection is nearly $50 million, it’s really mount everest-ist! This is one record which could stay on for another 4-5 years or more , I don’t see any movie even coming close for the next 5 years unless hirani makes a sequels to 3 idiots or pk with aamir within this period , aamir’s ‘dangal’ would be a great movie & it could break pk’s domestic record but can’t see it breaking its overseas records.
THE REAL KING OF BOLLYWOOD ONLY ONE AAMIR KHAN
message for indicine: thank you for great articles on Bajrangi Bhaijaan
message for srk fans: you guys claiming salman success was because of remakes and masala movies and were begging salman to do a content film to see his star power but when he did a non masala content movie. he beat srk’s all movies in overseas as well.
message for nipun and bhabhiji ka thullu(two most insecure people on indicine): Bajrangi Bhaijaan is highly rated on imdb than all akki’s and roshan’s movies. nipun was having such a trauma that he didn’t even review it. even his fav. critics gave good ratings but he without watching gave BB same ratings as Krrish 3(3/5), boy he got psychological issues. nipun Bajrangi Bhaijaan is better than roshan’s entire career movies. what can i say about bhabhiji, before release of the movie he was saying salman fans are crying and scared of bahubaali and BB will fail because of bahubaali success. now he is stun but say the same about prdp. salman’s one movie collection is more than akshay’s last three. enough said!
anyway thank you indicine for a great article

What the hel is this indicine why your team undrestimet the bahubali. its has already in 300cr club bajrangi bhai jaan is 3rd movie. and its will also become 1st movie to collect 350cr.
if this decade deepika saving sarook carrier then in 90s decade it is kajol :) Happy Birthday Kajol
Collection Of HNY in China Is 1/100th of PK.
That Means in Overseas Aamir is 100th Time Superior Than Tiny Sarook.
AND SRK FANS SAY HE HAS MORE FANS IN OVERSEAS.LOL
its clear that srk has no big fan following in overseas.its his movie that appeal to overseas people otherwise ranbir also beat srk their.
Aamir has not just broken but thrashed Sarook overseas record..
Tiny Sarook fans crying.. m lovin it!
Srk has opened overseas market for Bollywood & all other actor following him , he is king of overseas film .
All Amir khan fan Amir khan is in top just because of Raju Hirani and Dhoom Brand otherwise amir is below the Hritik roshan in this list u all know about Talash boc.Now u will say Srk is not without Yashraj dharma production then i would like to tell u success ration of Yashraj without srk is 30% and with Srk his sucess ratio is 100 % even if u not understand my point then god bless u.Second Dharma production sucess ratio without srk is 75% but with srk sucess is 100% even Farah khan HNY and rohit shetty is CE collected `100cr in overseas and 200 cr india say it all.Now u will start barking srk is nothing without YASHRAJ,DHARMA PRODUCTION,RED CHILLIES AND MOST Illitrated people will say he is nothing without Deepika.
This List prove that amir khan nothing without Raju Hirani and Dhoom brand.Also prove that overseas me sirf Srk ka naam chalta hai.
@Rew1, i don’t even give a damn to how much aamir khan and his films collect!!…i said what came to my mind…srk has 7 films in top 15, aamir has only 3, lolz…
and don’t talk about my frustration..i don’t give even a damn weather aamir has 3 or 10 films in top 15 !!
SRK==Sachin tendulkar 20 year Consistency Salman khan== Virat Kohli 3 to 4 year current form Amir Khan== Rohit sharma 2 double century like PK,3I,D3.
Leghend Khan @@@ Leghand and all amir fans amir khan amir khan ki papa raju hirani aur dhoom brand ke bina aur srk ki YRF aur Dharma Production ke bina ye list banao tumko apni aap par hi hasi aa jayegi..List will be as follow

amir khan ki just 1 aur srk ki 5 movie yahi hai tumhari uski aukat
@rew1,then what’s your star and your’s aukat with out raju hirani/ Brand dhoom in overseas?????of course my friend @Yy mithaiwala is not blind hater because he also said many times against Many SRKIANS too which your none of amir/salman fans did or nor can do anyday.but at last he also is a FAN and couldn’t resist himself to write which is very rare to see.your amir too couldn’t succeeded with YASHJI’S parampara and you gave excuse that is not from YRF banner is saying in a way that if there wouldn’t vvc exist in bollywood then then raju hirani wouldn’t be director,right?????so don’t make yourself even more dumb in front of world.and we’ll see your chotu’s aukat with next year’s dangal pandey will beat pk or not ,then you’ll better come here and rant and now get the hell out of here.
@eric,so you should too don’t forget your 11 hit star’s aukat at overseas.with out Raju papa/Dhoom he is still struggling at overseas to break the collection of KANK.and you’re talking about China collection?????pk is far better than HNY for which reason it collected double more than HNY and that credit goes to raju hirani.while your sadakchap film talash couldn’t cross even rejected movie Ra One/8 year old KANK’S collection,ROFL.and if you’re talking about non holiday,then before 2 years of releasing of talash ,MNIK in non holiday crossed 23 MILLION.which your decade struggler starcacan’t do even in upcoming 10 birth.so identify your limit and try to remain with in that.KING KHAN’S NAME is enough to make a hit while for your stars story/director required to get big hit along with EID+CHRISTMAS.so next year you’ll see the aukat of your bhojpuri’ star in front of KING KHAN’S SUPER STARDOM IN OVERSEAS.
the only thing i know right now is Bhai’s single good film is capable of breaking records made by 9 or 10 srk films in OVERSEAS
@fan PK : Why cant you agree for same when it comes to Highest Grossers (India) where Salman leads from the front ???
@SCrew whtt ‘shame on indicine’
Lol don’t get burnt ..!
I hope ur all cmnts hang in moderation .
Totally deserve it ..! Idiotic creature Chhota chetan fan .
Reasons by SRK FANS for Aamir and Salman success:
* 2008 : Ghajini success due to remake, srk abs in OSO was better than Aamir’s physique in Ghajani
* 2009 : 3 Idiots success is due to Hirani
* 2010 : Dabangg success is due to Masala Genre
* 2011 : Bodyguard due to remake
* 2012 : ETT success due to Eid, holidays and action genre
* 2013 : D3 success is due to Dhoom brand
* 2014 : PK success due to Hirani and Christmas
* 2015 : This time Salman in new avatar without Remake & Action BB success is due Harshali & Nawaz.
Now some Srkian will argue why list is only from 2008 why not before it?
Just for srkians,
* 2007 : OSO success is only due to King’s power
* 2006 : Dhoom 2 success is due to Dhoom brand
* 2005 : No Entry success is due to comedy genre and Anil/Fardeen acting. Salman has no contribution
* 2004 : Veer Zaara success is only due to King’s power. Bhad mein gaya YRF and Yashji
* 2003 : Koi Mil Gaya success is only due to Jadoo
* 2002 : Devdas success is only due to King’s power. What is a remake ?
* 2001 : Gadar success is due to India – Pakistan partition story.
* 2000 : KNHP success was fluke, Hrithik is papa’s boy.
* 1999 : HSSH success is due to multi starer. Who is Salman in it?
* 1998 : KKHH success due to King’s power. Supporting and special appearance actors dont matter
* 1997 : Border success is due to war drama, SRK releases 3 movies still fails but king is king after all. :-p
* 1996 : Raja Hindustani success due to Karishma Kapoor and Pardesi song
* 1995 : DDL J success is only due to King’s power. He made YRF !!!!
* 1994 : HAHK success is due to Madhuri, remake and sentiments. Salman was statue, I guess some srk fans delivered his dialogues in this movie.
* 1993 : Aankhen success …. No comments… King was non existent and appeared only from this year.
* 1992 : Beta success …. No comments… King was doing TV serials but his 15 million fans was aready on pluto awaiting his debut.
* 1991 : Saajan success is due to Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri. Still no news about king’s arrival.
* 1990 : Dil success is due to Madhuri and comedy genre. Where’s king ??
* 1989 : MPK success was due to Rajshri… But never remember what was last Rajshri’s release before MPK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
This comment is mix of humorous excuses!!! The complaining characters (mostly king and his fans) in this comment are not be taken seriously !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for reading.
@sss talk about this birth only. Aamir has ripped haklu’s overrated so called global stardom in this birth only with three movies. Aamir is not money freak like your professional wedding dancer ? in disguise of an actor whose whole career depended on YRF,Dharma, Rohit shetty. So better think 100 times at least before you write any rubbish. I am not talking about PK’s lifetiem in china. I am talking about PK’s openin day in china which was more than so called global star’s Crappy Old year’s life time record in china. And weren’t you and other srk fans kept saying that stardom is all about opening and then life time depends on WOM? Then why PK’s opening day record is more than Crappy ok year’s life time record. Do you have any answer???? If you have little bit of shame along with sense left, then think logically and better stop replying me same rubbish craps.
Proud moment…Srk-aamir-salman-hrithik… talented actors…
@kiran thorat just shut your mouth you loser haktard. Your srk is nothing but tiny star in from of Real Global King aamir khan. Your haklu can never beat aamir in popularity worldwide. Aamir will always remain bigger star than overrated srk. And also whatever popularity srk has got in overseas is only due to Yash Papa and Dharma. Without them he is nothing. And aamir is responsible for making raju hirani popular in overseas. Without aamir khan raju hirani and dhokm 3 wouldn’t have become such big grossers. It’s only brand Samir which has made raju hirani and dhokm brand popular in overseas.
@hrithik,for those PERFORMANCES OF KING KHAN AWARDED.unlike your bhai’s sadakchap movies only can collect but couldn’t achieve any glory.after am why bhai struggled over decade?????why bhai’s 2rs fans didn’t came to watch bhai’s 2rs movies in last decade?????why bhai all the time makes only masala films and uses masala songs even in his so called classic bb?????
And BTW WE also said MEGALEGEND UASHJI,LEGENDARY ADI,KJO etc etc not only MEGALEGEND KING KHAN.that doesn’t mean your bhai could have give even a hit if would have associated with YRF/DP because unlike rajshri’s family member’s movies in YRF/DP,only leading actors have to act ,that’s why they never choose salman ever in any ROMANCE MOVIES.if your salman/amir like romantic flop actors to do only Romance movie with out a bit action/masala element ,then you’ll see they couldn’t even get a hit.if KING KHAN would have did jaaneman like interesting story it would have become at least a super hit,please stop comparing your non actor with anyone else.and also about amoor why he struggled in almost 2 decades being perfaketionist?????if you still want to rant about YRF/DP,I will not stop you because before that you have to give mega success of KING KHAN’S MADE YRF/DP.I’M praising YRF/DP and it’s directors but they wouldn’t have even a leading industry today if they would have worked with salman/amoor and that’s the ultimate TRUTH.and if you’re thinking 2008/2010 born salman/amoor is so great than than please tell about one such productions/heroines who becomes successful that much like YRF/DP/HEROINES worked with KING KHAN.and if that also not enough for you shameless then KING KHAN made HIS OWN PRPDUCTIONS RCE as big as YRF/DP with small directors while salman khan productions nor got a big success with Harshali/and great director like Kabir khan.so remain with in your limit that’s what better doe you bhojpuri fan.
@eric,oh no!!!!!really your tingu is so much powerful in overseas?????still have 3 blockbusters in overseas??????while KINGBKHAN has 10ATBB,8BBS.complan do beta tingu ko,piyega then only can give big success at overseas with out dhoom brand/raju hirani,lol.and with out YRF/DP too KING KHAN has MEGA BLOCKBUSTERS.even RA ONE ,HNY too like films too collected more than your sadakchap’s all wannabe great films again with out brand dhoom/raju papa.tell beta tell why tingu with out raju papa/brand dhoom couldn’t till now 8 YEAR OLD KANK’S COLLECTION?????because aukat nahi tha ,lol.so whenever peoples like you trying to cross the limit of their aukat peoples like me always showed their real aukat.and please if you only check collection and will tell like films like 3idiota/pk is collected more than DDLJ/SHOLAY,that doesn’t mean those vulgar movies are bigger glorious movies than DDLJ/SHOLAY.similarly KINNG KHAN has given 10 TIMES MORE ATBB than your 2rs raju papa/dhoom brand dependent star.and dangal pandey will again show your star’s aukat,so be cool ,calm and quite and enjoy your midget star’s midget successes,ROFL.
I love hritik roshans all movies
@sss : Chal beta burnol ley ley rey …….. ey ey ey !!!!!!!!!! :-p
