The 3 Khans – Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan (in order of seniority) have dominated the box office this decade. While Salman and Shah Rukh ensure a outstanding initial due to their box office pull across the country, what has worked for Aamir is the trust factor that the audience have in his films – which is probably the toughest to achieve over a career spanning more than 27 years.
Apart from one big day for Ajay Devgn (opening day of Singham Returns) and three big days for Hrithik Roshan (Bang Bang and Krrish 3), no other actor has even managed to surpass the 25 crore mark on a single day.
Aamir’s latest release Dangal has taken the 25th spot in the all time list. It’s the 6th highest non-holiday single day of all time. When it comes to opening day non-holiday, Dangal comes second after Aamir’s Dhoom 3 in 2013.
