There has been a lot of discussion in the comments section as to who the Top 5 actors in Bollywood are at the moment. Most in the Singh Is King Box office collection topic were of the opinion that Akshay Kumar post Singh is King has gone past Shahrukh Khan as the King of Bollywood.
So we decided to do some research on the Top 5 actors in Bollywood and their last 5 movies. The actors included in the battle are Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan.
The results were quite unexpected. A few things before we give you the numbers.
Some points to remember are, actors with more releases in recent times (Post 2006) have an advantage over actors whose movies released in say 2003. That is because of the mutliplexes that have come up all over the country and also the increase in the number of prints.
So Akshay Kumar has a much bigger advantage over Aamir Khan as Aamir’s 5th movie Dil Chahta Hai released in 2001, when there were hardly any multiplexes. Also dont forget the inflation!
Here are the number.
5. Salman Khan – Salman Khan is at Number 5. We havent taken God Tussi Great Ho into count as it has just released last week and its final gross is awaited. He mainly suffers because of Marigold, as it did less than 1 crore of business in India! Salman has just one Blockbuster i.e Partner.
- Jaan-E-Mann (2006) – 27 crores – Flop
- Babul (2006) – 17 crores – Flop
- Saalam-e-Ishq (2007) – 24 crores – Flop
- Partner (2007) – 62 crores – Blockbuster
- Marigold (2007) – 1 crore – Disaster
Total – 131 crores
Average – 26.2 crores per movie.
4. Aamir Khan – Aamir Khan although at a huge disadvantage is at Number 4. Imagine if Dil Chahta Hai had released today? It would have grossed atleast a minimum of 50 crores at the box office. Still since his come back the perfectionist has 2 Superhits and 1 Blockbuster to his credit.
- Dil Chahta Hai (2001) – 16 crores – Hit
- Mangal Pandey (2005) – 29 crores – Average
- Rang De Basanti (2006) – 51 crores – Super Hit
- Fanaa (2006) – 53 crores – Super Hit
- Taare Zameen Par (2007) – 61 crores – Blockbuster
Total – 210 crores
Average – 42 crores per movie.
3. Shahrukh Khan – Has been affected big time due to the failure of Paheli. It didnt even get a face saving opening at the box-office and did just 13 crores. Rest of his movies have done well. KANK and Don bearly managed to go on to be hits. Chak De and Om Shanti Om were blockbusters.
- Paheli (2005) – 13 crores – Flop
- Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006) – 46 crores – Above Average to Hit
- Don (2006) – 50 crores – Hit
- Chak De India (2007) – 64 crores – Blockbuster
- Om Shanti Om (2007) – 87 crores – Blockbuster
Total – 260 crores
Average – 52 crores per movie.
2. Akshay Kumar – Now this was a real toughie. But we decided to push Akshay Kumar down to second due to several reasons. He is the only star to not have a single solo ‘Blockbuster’ to his credit (Welcome was a multistarrer with Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Nan Patekar). Although we have included Singh Is King, it has not completed its complete run at the boxoffice. We had to predict the total nett gross of Singh Is Kinng to 72 crores (44 crores in week one is confirmed + 18 crores in week 2 is also confirmed + 6 crores in week 3 and about 4 crores in the rest of the weeks is a prediction). The other reason for placing him at second is he is the only actor who has the advantage of every movie releasing Post – 2006. No release in the Pre multiplex era of India Cinema.
- Heyy Babyy (2007) – 52 crores – Super hit
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007) – 54 crores – Super hit
- Welcome (2007) – 76 crores – Blockbuster (Multistarrer)
- Tashan (2008) – 31 crores – Flop
- Singh Is King (2008) – 72 crores – Hit to Super hit
Total – 285 crores
Average – 57 crores per movie.
1. Hrithik Roshan – By far the youngest actor in the list, Hrithik Roshan by pure box office numbers of India, tops although by a very close margin. 2 solo blockbusters (KMG, Krrish), 1 multi star Blockbuster (Dhoom 2) and 1 Super hit (Jodha Akbar). His only failure in the last 4 years has been Lakshya which did average business at the boxoffice. A great comeback after about 6 failures in a row after Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
Hrithik also has two movies pre 2006 which is a disadvantage.
- Koi Mil Gaya (2003) – 44 crores – Super Hit
- Lakshya (2004) – 23 crores – Average
- Krrish (2006) – 66 crores – Blockbuster
- Dhoom 2 (2006) – 86 crores – Blockbuster
- Jodhaa Akbar (2008) – 63 crores – Super Hit
Total – 282 crores
Average – 56.4 crores per movie.
The whole list might change when Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Chandni Chowk To China release in December. SRK could make it to the top if Rab Ne works big time. How Chandni Chowk fares will also be interesting. Hrithik’s kites releases in the summer of 2009 and there is news that it could be sold for 100 crores if not more. Aamir Khan’s Ghajini too releases this year end and is expected to create boxoffice history.
We will post an update here after all the 3 movies; Rab Ne, Chandni Chowk and Ghajini release.
Note – These figures are only of how the movies fared at the Indian Box-office. Shahrukh Khan is the undisputed king of the overseas box-office. Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan come a close second and third.
Lets discuss below, if you dont agree with the article please post a comment on why. Thank you for reading.
Fathiya, bollywood was not the same 20 yrs bac…it has reached to more plp more cultures
oday plp r more open in thr thoughts, can i say going more hollywood way…
hollywood has more trash than bollywood u’ll find more plp jus 4 no reason taking media attention…
As far as good movies doing fine business in boxoffice is concerned i think its still fair…
producers who invest less and make good movies are getting thr dues though not huge amt but then if u invest less then ur expectation shud not b huge…
The movie must be saleable to get huge numbers…plp r more happy buying a ticket 4 Akki or SRk or top 5 in the list but play safe wen a Shreyas Talpade does it…
most of the actors r good director shud take out the best to make it memorable…it only possible if the character is grt8
simple eg Ledger(joker) of “The Dark Knight” fame he was no whr all these yrs one grt8 performance, i thnk he’ll b the frontrunner 4 the oscars, I feel sorry for the loss though.
jus to reply Fathiya’s comment on if guuide and Aradhana were to b released today take my word lady they wud have be superhits only few yrs bac we had Kabhi Khushi Khabhi Gham declared superhit which had moreemotional content take for VZ as example for a romantic story…good movies also work..
If Veer Zara worked only because of the big banner, Yash Chopra doing a movie after 7 years, promotion, the songs, Shahrukh himslef and the supporting actors Bigb And Hema Malini, and ofcourse with some spices in the movie, little comedy with romance, but if Veer Zarah was too serious, and wasn’t a Yash Chopra, I don’t think so, and KKKG was a big movie and had lots of comedy scenes beside the emotional scenes.
Guide & Araadhna didn’t have any comedy scenes at all, serious drama, romantic ( I’m sure, they’d never worked at present)
dont tel me abt the starcast of Guide or Aradhana…one had the most stylish actor of those times while the ther had the blue superstar and as far as songs r concrened both the movies had fantastic songs and the script of the movie was brilliant…
Aryan, Fathiya and my other friends,
My back goes up when the time comes for awards and ratings and rankings. As the respectable Aryan says, this world is depressing with all its problems and pressures, and therefore entertaining films are in demand. Very true and very necessary, BUT the entertainers should be happy with their commercial success, pocket their money, and lead luxurious lives, period. They should not vie for awards, accolades, and rankings such as “No.1”. These belong only to those who have confirmed acting ability. That is the only point that I have been trying to make for so long. Entertaining films deserve box office success, especially in such times, but should be left out when it comes to awards and rankings. One has never seen Spiderman 3, or Get Smart, or any Eddie Murphy film vying for Oscars. The cast and crew of such films are happy enough with their millions. I hope my point is coming across clearly, and we shall not have to see the painful moment when an entertainer like Akshay Kumar walks away with Best Actor Award just because his films have been successful at the box office, and deserving actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Shreyas Talpade and Darshil Safary are ignored.
Best wishes to all of you.
Dr. R.C. Patel:
That’s the point, awards must be given to actors according to their (talents) capability of acting specially in difficult roles, and the actor’s performance is only a part of any successful movie as the actors only participate with the team to make any movie work (it’s just a team work and not an individual) that’s all, and as I mentioned earlier, it’s mainly the script, production & the direction including the special effects, cinematography, music, etc. So 50% of the credit for any successful movie would go for the “creators” and not for the actors.
Moreover, while evaluating any actor at any award functions, an important point must be noted too, that there’s an (easy job) and there’s a (difficult job) for actors to perform in any movie and according to the script, examples:
One successful movie which is JTYJN, a simple movie with a small budget, with an easy job for the actors
One flop movie which is Love Story 2050, a big movie with a big budget, with “difficult” job for the actors.
One movie won, and the other one failed, but while evaluating the talents of both actors: Imraan & Harman in the two movies, which one of them do u think really deserves the award as a debutant? Now u answer this question ( the question is only for the people who saw the 2 movies) and just forget about the success or the failure of the 2 movies at the box office, as they didn’t (create) the movies they worked in, but other people, as they r not responsible, neither for the success nor for the failure.
If u all would ask me this question, I’d say it’s Harman Baweja ’cause he was given a difficult role to play, similar to Hrithik’s role in his latest movies, and as a debutant, he did really well, needs some experience, but he really deserves, and besides the talent, he’s handsome, a good looking & got a strong presence on the screen, what about u all?!
I feel only National Awards are true to talent rest al timepass if u hav nothing to do…
and abt Akki havng the awards i dont thnk he will get it
wen he didnt get for some really good performance in the past how can he get it now…
he can get only one award “the entertainer” which doesnot fall in any category…
as far as Darsheel is concerned it very early to judge him i am telling this wit the reference to many child actors who did a brilliant job as child artist in thr very first film
Let me give one more example, that bollywood (and people) r so unfair and they don’t appreciate some newcomers talents. If u all watched Bigb’s movie which didn’t do well at the box office (Dil Joh bi Kahe), his son in the movie – I don’t know his name – was so talented as a debutant, even better than Shahrukh when he did “Deewana” and because the movie didn’t work, the new actor which he deserved a big attention and an award at the award functions was completely ignored!! and vanished now from bollywood! I even noticed the sadness on his face during one of awards , ’cause he was so sure of his abilities as an actor but ppl and the judges didn’t appreciate him just because the movie didn’t work.. so unfair.
Many kids actors who worked in good movies and were talented didn’t get any awards e.g. the kids of the movie Tararampum, thery were also good specially the girl, but as u know, if the movie wasn’t a super hit.. the actors also will be (drowned) big actors, kids actors, all of them! If Darshil Safary’s movie TZP was a flop, who’d have appreciated his talent in the movie?!! No one.
Hello to all! I’m an American who loves movies from all over the world. I’m from Austin, Texas, where a lot of American movies and TV shows are made, and our city’s nickname is “the music capital of the world”, which is just because per capita we have more musicians in this city than anywhere else (which doesn’t mean the best ones, haha). It’s a running joke that if you tell someone here that you’ve just wrapped a movie or cut a record that they will likely respond with “Yeah? Me too!” Austin also has great cultural diversity. People from all over the world come here to live for music or movie opportunities, or for our university and research opportunities. I love being able to soak up all the wonderful foods, clothes, religions, and traditions from so many different places, like India, Japan, China, Thailand, Europe, Australia, Africa, Greece… well, you get the idea. I hope I am welcome to submit comments here.
All of you have such fine points to make. However, I would respectfully submit that everything about a movie star is completely subjective, meaning that it totally depends on the viewers’ preferences, which in turn are reflected at the box office.
Some may look gorgeous, so therefore we could care less about acting ability. Some act well, so we could care less about how they look. Some are great comedians, and some are great villains.
Once in a while we get someone who has all of these entertaining qualities, and that’s usually someone who is ‘universal’, meaning that the actor is appealing to people of different tastes for different reasons, and has commonalities with a lot of people. In other words, I like the actor because he is handsome, another likes him because he does his own stunts or singing, another likes him because he emotes with such passion that it brings tears, another likes him because he is hysterically funny, another likes him because he gets intense in serious scenes, and so on.
How we perceive these screen personalities has a lot to do with our development from birth, as far as what we like and don’t like. These perceptions are formed in our minds as children, from the faces of people that made us feel good or sad or afraid. For instance, I have a friend who thinks a particular actor looks ‘evil’ because when she was 8 years old, someone who looked like him had pushed her around on the playground and bullied her on the way home, whereas one of her favorite actors totally creeps me out because he reminds me of a date that went horribly wrong. So I don’t think we could ever truly define the perfect movie star, because we all have differing criteria as to what that means to each of us personally. The box office reflects and measures those preferences since that’s where we actually pay to ‘vote’ for our favorites, if we’re theater-goers in first place. A lot of us have to wait for the DVD release, which I believe is eventually included in the grand total of sales, which is also unfair, because DVD’s cost different prices in different areas, and a lot of people are renting them anyway. That means that there was 1 sale for many more who rented the same DVD.
But as usual, it is not Shahrukh or Aamir or Akshay that rules, because money is the king of all box offices, and when these guys can no longer feed King Money, they will be replaced by the next wave of moneymakers.
And I agree with the Aryan about the media. When there’s no more info or dirt to dig up on someone, they have to move on to someone else just to keep their audience interested. So Shahrukh is boring the media, and they want fresh meat to chew on.
I think one thing we ALL have in common is a disliking of the media to some extent. But we’re stuck with them if we want to know more about the actors we see on-screen. On one hand, we want to know our actors’ favorite foods or designer, on the other we want the media to keep their opinions to themselves. But we are the ones who give them permission to do so by gossiping and arguing, instead of recognizing the fact that these actors are real humans with real lives that should not be interrupted by the media or anyone else. They look like crap when they wake up in the morning, just like the rest of us. They get insulted and react, just like the rest of us. They get full of themselves at times, just like we do. The only difference is that you and I are not on the cover of the fan magazines next to some other actor with the headline “Who Has More Cellulite?” or “Brad and Jen: Together Again?” just because they happened to meet by chance somewhere and someone had a camera. I can see the media getting involved if celebs go to an event, sure. But if they’re just running to the store for eggs, respect it and leave them alone. How would any of us like it if the same were to happen to us? Say you are an accountant, and you’re getting groceries, and someone comes up to you and hands you some paperwork and asks if you could check for mistakes right then and there. You would tell him that you’re not at work right now, to come back at some time when you are in the office.
Since we have so many celebs in Austin, and we don’t want them go back to NYC or LA, you know we want to keep them here for our own reasons :) well we don’t approach celebs on their personal time. I was in line behind Sandra Bullock at the garden shop, but no one was paying her any attention, other than a look of recognition upon seeing her face. And it wasn’t on the front page of the newspaper. Mobbing celebs is not how you get them to be your friends :)
Personally, I would like to see the box office measurements change to the number of tickets sold rather than the amount of money a movie makes since the value of the tickets is different according to what region you are in when you pay for the ticket. It would make the global box office make more sense.
One last thing: Has anyone here heard of the ‘Tallest Poppy Syndrome’? It means that when someone is getting all the acclaim and rewards, he/she seems to stand taller than the rest of us. It therefore challenges us to either do better, or try to cut him/her down so that we can equalize him/her to our status. Guess which one is easier! But let’s not forget that just like poppies, stars come into their season and are gone when their season is over, and our favorites will one day be just like dried flowers pressed into a book of memories, taken out when we want to remember them.
Dr. Patel:
About your list, the top 5 actresses, you considerd Vidya Balan as number 5. Actually I didn’t forget her in my list but she’s an actress which can’t be rated as yet. She’s good, but also she lacks something, and what does she really lack?? I still don’t know!! she’s beautiful, talented, but there’s something about her, she’s different, therefore I couldn’t rate her in the top 10.. I think she’s a mysterious actress.. can’t say anything about her future, whether she’ll continue in bollywood and will continue as a successful actress or will be vanished from bollywood one day.
Punjabi Sher: don’t u think that u aren’t saying anything useful on this web except : Akshay Kumar is the true king.. and repeatedly?!!
We’ve heard u saying this many many times, and we said already: Let him be.. but I love Shahrukh, some people love Shahrukh, and popularity is nothing to do with your favourite actors. If Shahrukh is now considered as No. 10, I don’t mind, I consider him better than Akshay Kumar, and if u visit other web e.g. bollywoodhungama website, u will find that some ppl don’t like Akshay and they say that he’s been overrated! Yes.. there r also lots of ppl who don’t like Shahrukh, I don’t care.
Akshay must be given a title ” King of Comedy” but not the King of Bollywood.
Fathiya…..akshay is given the tittle of king of bollywood and also king of comdy…..Im saying again again bcs u are not accepting tha akshay is bettet than srk……….U always says that akshay is behind srk….Why???
MY FAVOURITE ACTORS ARE:
1. Akshay King Kumar
2. Sanjay Dutt
3. Sunny Deol
4. Sunil Shetty
5. Salman Khan
And I hate Indicine Team , because they delete all my comments.
I HATE Shah rukh Khan.
I hate Shah rukh Khan
I hate Shah rukh Khan
I hate Shah rukh Khan
I hate Shah rukh Khan
Punjabi Sher: I never heard in the news any of what u r saying.. today.. I truned on the t.v. on NDTV channel and after a while, while I was leaving my room to answer a telephone call, I heard the announcer talking about this subject: who r the top 3 actors in bollywood now: I think she said ( but I’m not sure as I’ve to followup the news) that Aamir Khan is number (1) Shahrukh is number (2) and Akshay is number (3).
And.. what do u mean by saying: you r not accepting that Akshay is better than shahrukh?!!!!! I said many times that Shahrukh is my favourite with Hrithik Roshan in bollywood, even if they’re not at number one position.. u can’t force me to like..love..admire Akshay simply because ( I don’t) I consider him only a good actor.. that’s all even if he is considered as best actor, not in bollywood but for the whole world!!
Listen dear: The most popular actor in hollywood and the most (expensive) actor in hollywood is TOM CRUISE, but I never admired him, I don’t like his character, except one movie and one character he played all these years in the movie:(the Last Sumarai) that’s the only one for me but not for the whole world.
I always admired an actor who is no more now.. who is dead and long time ago, and it’s ( Yul Briyner) the bald actor.. and there’s a similarity in his faces with SRK.. Shahrukh and Yul.. the eyebrow, the eyes, and I think the character too!
Aziza: can I ask u a question? Why do u ( so much) hate Shahrukh?? What did he do?!! Did he commit a crime? Did he abuse, harm, torture pople in your country?! Did he divorce or betrayed his wife?! Just answer my question and please.. don’t say what people repeats as u have no evidence that he is: a homosexual or a bisexual.. please don’t say this
I think u r a muslim, your name is Aziza, so if u r a true muslim u shouldn’t bother about the gossip, rumuors and what some people say about Shahrukh, not only shahrukh, jealous people love to spoil any celebrity’s reputation.. because they’re “failures” and didn’t achieve anything in their life, and that.. saying lies about someone who’s successful make them feel: happy!
HEY Fathiya! Now why ur saying to aziza that ur a true muslims and thats why admire muslims actor.????
U are a typical muslim who dont know anything about the bollywood. U people like muslim actors only . When two years back shahrukh was no. 1 I accepted thta he is a king. I dont choose my favourites by thier religion………I also not say other punjabis that like akshay kumar bcs he is of our religion.And u have seen any false news on the T.V. or u are telling lie. BCs now in the indian media AKshay is no.1 and aamir is no.2 and hritik is at no. 3…………And ur choice is worst thats why u dont like tom cruise, Akshay kumar.
Ok……..I also agree that this is ur own choice then why are u forcing other people to love shahrukh??
U are not indian……..And dont comment on our bollywood………..Now also I will say AKSHAY KINNG KUMAR !! U ROCK MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Punjabi Sher: I don’t care about your feedback to my comments.. I write for ppl who loves to read my comments, who asked me to continue writing and not for u to read or give me your feedback!!
And.. I don’t admire shahrukh because he’s muslim ( go back to my previous comments, if u didn’t read them, or probably u did read them but didn’t understand them!!) If it’s just because he’s muslim, so I would have been a big Salman Khan’s fan or Aamir Khan’s fan, but I’m not, and I’d never admired Hrithik or Madhuri because they r not muslims.. am I right?
And.. I asked Aziza to answer my question.. and not you!!
YES Punjabi Sher. AKSHAY KING KUMAR IS THE NO. 1 ACTOR OF BOLLYWOOD.
AKKI RULES THE WHOLE WORLD. I LOVE YOU AKKI KING KUMAR.
Im saying that why u are forcing Aziza??????????????? Why u are talking about religion with Aziza?????
Well Punjabi Sher.. I’m not forcing Aziza to love shahrukh.. I think if other people read my comment for Aziza on this page, they’d understand that I’m not forcing her to love shahrukh.. except u!!
My question to her was very clear as I asked her the reason for hating shahrukh and not why she doesn’t love him!! when we hate someone.. there must be a reason.. same as when we love someone.. so.. if I ask u the same q: why do u love Akshay Kumar.. u definitely know why, and if I ask u: why do u hate shahrukh.. also u know the reason.. don’t u know the difference between the 2 questions?!!!
So Aziza might hv her reasons for hating shahrukh, therefore, I wanted to find out from her ( and not from u!!) u r the one who wants every human in this world to love your Akki.. but u can’t do it ( even if the news is right and he’s really no. 1 now) but this doesn’t mean that everyone in this world love him just because he is at number (1)! if 90% of ppl do but there r still 10% – or maybe more – I don’t have the statisitc to confirm the no. of ppl who don’t ( and I’m not any of those, I don’t love him and I don’t hate him too.. for me he’s just a good actor same as Seif, Sanjay, Anil and he’s not a “uniqe”
The only “unique” and “extraordinary” actors are 2 in bollywood: Shahrukh & Hrithik, and some newcomers might be also in future!
Fathiya……………my dear…………Why u always keep shahrukha and hritik above than akshay? Why do u think that there are only two unique actors in the bollywood? Ur thinking is wrong…………….change it.
Raja Hussein: If u hate shahrukh because of what u said then u r a person who doesn’t know how to distinguish, while watching any interview, when the man is serious and when he’s joking!! Everyone, even on other websites know that shahrukh (always) jokes, and he said that as a humour!! don’t u understand all this.. when someone tries to be funny and make ppl laugh and when he’s serious?!! ( u just want to misunderstand him because u hate him.. that’s all.. I understand it.. it’s not only u.. so many ppl does even on other websites!!)
What u said about me.. that I like shahurkh because he is muslim and u closed your eyes on all my previous comments which r not less than a hundred on this web (proves) that u r all sick people and don’t want to understand what we say!!! When I asked Aziza a question.. why does she hate shahrukh, and mentioned that she’s (muslim) that didn’t mean the following: Why Aziza don’t u love Shahruk.. you r a muslim?!!!! U ppl understood it this way which is wrong!! Saying to Aziza that she’s a muslim means that shouldn’t believe in gossip, rumours and repeat what other people says ’cause God will punish us as we might hurt an innocent guy who did nothing of the stuff people say.. it’s a great sin in Islam.
DID U UNDERSTAND MY POINT AND MY QUESTION FOR AZIZA NOW?!! IF U DIDN’T SO FAR.. THEN DON’T EXPECT ANY ANSWER FROM ME IF U POSTED SOME OTHER OCMMENTS.
For u my thinking is wrong.. for me it’s right.. and for me your thinking is wrong to value and worship Akshay because he’s just ordinary.. killed himself for years to reach the top, and suceeded after 17 years only!! So he’s not so talented, but became after long years of working hard and gaining experience.. a talented actor is perfect from the starting.. therefore I consider SRK & Hrithik outstanding.. extraordinary actors..
And.. Ranbir Kapoor too!
Do u want me to reply to u by saying: You shut up Punjabi Sher? Oh.. u made me (angry) by your words!!!!
You never understand what’s written?!! Ranbir, as a newcomer, he’s so good, so he’ll grow big big big in future.. we can say who’s talented and who’s not from their first movies.. don’t u get my points dear P. Sher?!!!!
And.. why do u think that Yash Raj assigned shahrukh for their films?! Akshay existed in 1991 and Shahrukh in 1992, means shahrukh was in the industry one year later, Akshay is older just one year.. Doesn’t this prove that SRK was more successful than Akshay and more popular and his movies were bigger hits in that time?!!! Why didn’t Yash Raj take Akshay for their movies, if Akshay was soooo good as u say, and thatttt successful after 5 years or working?!! Directors normally select the one who (pulls) the audienece towards him, the one who makes more money, the one who got more admirers in this world and it was (always) Shahrukh.. u can’t deny this fact because shahrukh succeeded and won the title ( King of Bollywood) and he remained in his position for almost 10 years.. can u deny this fact?
Answer yourself and not me!!
I agree that srk has remained the tittle of king for almost 10 yrs but Now u can deny that akshay is a new king?????????????????????.. …………………… This is not right that directors take actors who pull the crowd. This is a luck and srk is more lucky in this than akshay……………..And u also lied about ranbir kapoor…U said in ur previous comment that ranbir kapoor is a extraoridnary actor……………..And now ur saying that I have said for a youngster. U urself dont know that wat to speak…………..I was also angry when u said akshay is not extraoridnary and srk,hritik.ranbeir are…………………..Now give answer to urself.
U said: “this is not right directors take the actor who pull the crowd” that’s what u mentioned.. it was shahrukh, and now it’s Akshay ( I don’t deny it) so akshay pulls the crowd now.. do u consider the directors r wrong?! Dear.. this is only business.. why do u think they make movies then?!! They go for the actor who is doing a good sale, who’s in a demand and ppl want to watch his movies.. and now it’s Akshay, whether he’s so talented or not, he’s making a good sale now and will let the directors sleep well at night as they guarantee him.. that he’ll make crores for their movies!
I said it about Ranbir because he’s ( so talented) drew all the attention to him after 2 movies only, therefore I consider him (extraordinary) and that’s gifts from God.. some ppl r gifted, lucky and some aren’t.. lots of actresses in bollywood r talented but aren’t (loveable) can’t win the audience as they lack strong presence on the screen, therefore, and after a while, they vanish, leave bollywood.
So if Akshay wasn’t so lucky, couldn’t draw a big attention when he joined bollywood and succeeded only now, after all these years, that was his fate, destiny, what could he do about it, and it’s not only Akshay.. many actors couldn’t reach the top.. example.. Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Khanna and now Abhishek Pachan.. let us talk about Abhishek who’s his dad is the God of Indian Cinema.. he worked in Yash Raj films, he’s in the industry more than 10 years.. so.. did he reach the top?! Could he win the title “King of Bollywood”? No.. why do u think he couldn’t?? He’s cute, tall, funny & performing well, not a bad actor, and he got lots of big directors around him.. why?
Simply because he is not that special.. that’s all.
Akshay is really just a comedian. His “successful” movies have been of the comedy genre only. He hasnt received accolades for the serious roles he has played, that is because he’s mediocre in that category. The question is, should an actor who seems to be only good in one genre be crowned the King of Bollywood?? All this Akshay-hype will be short-lived, mark my words. As was the Himesh Reshmiya-mania – short-lived with a capital S.
Talent leaves a lasting impression, especially the all-rounded kind. For example, Amir Khan. He can pull off anything. His comedy in Rang de Basanti was entertaining, and not the kind that makes your skin crawl. In Fanaa, he portrayed emotions such as anger and guilt superbly. I’d like to see Akshay try his hand at that. I’m sure it would come off as rather “fake” and unconvincing. He’d ham it! SRK too. Ham, ham, ham. All that stammering and shaking while crying, really it’s too overdone.
But it’s still left to be seen whether Amir can do what Hrithik did in Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. And maybe even Dhoom 2. Hrithik goes an extra mile when it comes to giving it all to his roles. It looks so effortless. That scene in Mission Kashmir when he learnt of his mother’s death (the woman who had adopted him) the way he fell to the floor, devastated and howling with pain, has left an everlasting impression. The role of the father he played in Krrish, I dont think anybody can [not even Amitabh] could do that.
The “loser” or rather the care-free bum-along boy he played in Lakshya was too convincing. And the role of the retarded boy in Koi Mil Gaya, that was out-of-this-world! Just look at the variety of the roles he has played to date, the challenging and different performances. I cant believe I forgot to mention his role in Jodha Akbar too, the way he portrayed the role of Akhbar in such majesty, how awesome is that!! He seriously should win the award for Best Actor for this film otherwise there is something very wrong with the industry.
Now we’ve just got to see if he can play Amir’s role in Lagaan and Akshay’s in Singh is King. But I honestly think he can do all sorts of roles, he’s very versatile and this was very much evident in Dhoom 2 when he donned all those many disguises and pulled them off excellently.
Those who disagree with me arent being truthful with themselves. Appreciate Hrithik, dont hate on him, just because he’s beautiful, successful and very very talented.
Jus to add: It’s very rare that God gives somebody everything – beauty, brains, talent, wealth and humility, loyalty and faithfulness also. Hrithik has it all. Hrithik just has it all. Apart from being a superb actor and dancer, he is a dotting son to his parents, a faithful husband to his beautiful wife, a loving father to his children and a humble, loyal human being. He keeps out of the media and the limelight and avoids the soul-corroding politics of Bollywood. To summarise, he just has it all, which this world cannot digest. Such people are always hated. And the world tries its best to put them down. But the more infamous he becomes, the more it is evident that he IS the best. People can try to be derogatory about him all they want but such people are under the grace of God and will continue progressing. So haha to Hrithik’s down-putters!
my love to all of my friends abdur,raj for suporting our most favourate actor AKSHAY KUMAR and i must say AKSHAY will be the real king forever.
