Note – All figures are from Times of India, the leading news daily of India.
Top 5 Actors by Gross
- Akshay Kumar – 500 crores – 17 movies
- Shahrukh Khan – 400 crores – 9 movies
- Aamir Khan – 365 crores – 5 movies
- Salman Khan – 350 crores – 13 movies
- Hrithik Roshan – 215 crores – 3 movies
Top 5 Actors by average per film
- Aamir Khan – 73 crores per movie
- Hrithik Roshan – 72 crores per movie
- Shahrukh Khan – 44 crores per movie
- Akshay Kumar – 29 crores per movie
- Salman Khan – 27 crores per movie
What the trade thinks
Ashok Ahuja (Percept Picture Company) – It was hard to choose between Ghajini and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Both the films rocked (at the box office). Hrithik is number 2, Akshay is number 3 and Salman is at number 4. The kind of excitement generated by Three Idiots, My Name Is Khan and Kites is palpable even though their release dates are yet to be set; the euphoria associated with Aamir, Shah Rukh and Hrithik is very high.
Amod Mehra (Trade consultant) – Aamir is a clear number 1 because each of his films in the last five years has been different. Shah Rukh is a close second, Hrithik is third, Akshay is fourth and Salman stands at the fifth position. However, a hit or two here and there and these positions could easily change
Komal Nahtha (Trade Analyst) – Bollywood depends a lot on these five men because they have a fairly high success ratio. You have to go by aggregates; individual films may run or flop, but these men net good averages. Akshay leads the pack with his earnings by virtue of the fact that he has done the maximum number of films. Aamir and Shah Rukh are neck to neck at number 1 and Hrithik and Akshay share the number 2 spot. Salman currently occupies a solo place at number three because he hasn’t had a spectacular release after Partner.
Combining the 3 votes, here are the Top 5 Actors of Bollywood in the last 5 years.
- Aamir Khan
- Shahrukh Khan
- Hrithik Roshan
- Akshay Kumar
- Salman Khan

Salman was hardly in dose films 5-10 mins each).
SRK was in Billu for bout 30-40 mins wid 3 separate songs and it still didint save da film. i like SRK. BUT U NEED TO KNOW DA FACTS BEFORE U TALK.

SALMAN has always Worked with different directors & he dont need BIG BANNERS to maintain his SUPERSTAR status except movies like(MPK, HAHK & HSSH)
SALMAN is the only ACTOR in the KHANS who has worked in HOLLYWOOD MOVIE( MARIGOLD).

LIKE- BAAZIGAR- The role was offered to SALMAN & then to AKSHAY…both rejected…& then went to SRGAY.
DARR- The role was offered to AAMIR but was rejected by him & then SRGAY was signed..
SWADES- The role was Offered to HRITHIK, he rejected & then went SRGAY although the movie bombed
CHAK DE- The role was offered to SALMAN, he wanted some changes in the script & Aditya chopra signed SRGAY
2. For the last 10 years he has been working with KARAN JOHAR & YASH RAJ only & earned success under there banners….. Whenever he has worked with other directors like SWADES, BILLU, PAHELI….all BOMBED…even KABHI ALVIDA NA KEHNA was an AVERAGE film….
SRGAY BLOCKBUSTERS-4 (KARAN ARJUN, CHAK DE, OSO, RNBDJ )
ATB-2(DDLJ, KKHH)
SUPER HITS- K3G, VEER ZARA, DARR, DTPH

@Puneet- Bro count ‘Maine Pyar kiya’ too, which is one of da biggest hits of bollywood.. Salman rocks!
@punit: you have the incorrect information about ur hero….salman khan…..
so be updated at the real news……..completely wrong ….. Mr.punit…
MR. PUNEET U IDIOT… SALMAN KHAN NEVER GIVES US BLOCKBUSTER, SUPERHIT AND HIT MORE THAN SHAHRUKH KHAN… SO SRK IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD AND MOST POWERFUL MAN OF THE WORLD….
U HAVE WRONG DATA…..CORRECT ONE IS AS FOLLOWS:
SAJAN(SUPER HIT)……. but he was as a supporting actor where sanjay datt was hero, SANAM BEWAFA (HIT)….its multi starer movie…where he has no acting…just as junior artist
ANDAZ APNA APNA(SUPER HIT)… it’s a flop movie….rejected by the peoples
1998- JAB PYA KISI SE HOTA HAI…its not hit just above average
BANDHAN(NOT HIT IT WAS SEMI HIT),
1999- BIWI NO1…….. but not superhit….just a hit movie
HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM……..not hit just semihit
HUM SATH-SATH HAIN WAS…..its semi hit
2005- MAINE PYAR KYUN KIYA …..its semi hit,
NO ENTRY…..not blockbuster just superhit where he was dominated by anil kapoor and fardeen khan
1. SRK WAS ALWAYS BEEN FIRST COICE OF THE DIRECTORS:
LAGAN- HE REJECTED MOVIE WHICH HE DISCARDED……TO AMIR
MUNNA BHAI MBBS- ALSO REJECTED DUE TO INJURY….TO SANJAY
SLOMDOG MILLIONIER- HE REJECTED AS IT WAS HURTIN HIS SENTIMENT…NEG. ROLE …. TO ANIL KAPOOR
LONDON DREAM- SRK AND AMIR REJECTED MOVIE ……. TO SAITAN AND AJAY
3 IDIOT – WHICH IS REJECTED……TO AMIR
SRK WAS SUPERB IN MOVIE WHICH REJECTED BY OTHER:
BAAZIGAR- ROLE OFFERED TO SALMAN BUT HE REJECT IF HE DID THAT MOVIE THEN IT WAS FLOP.
DARR- THE ROLE OFFERED TO AAMIR BUT HE REJECTED & THEN SRK IN MOVIE WHICH WAS ROX
I DON’T THINK THAT SWEDES WAS REJECTED BY HRITIK..
CHAK DE- DIDN’T OFFER TO SAITAN BCOZ SRK IS THE ALWAYS FIRST COICE OF YASH RAJ AND HIS LUCKY CHARM….
KABHI ALVIDA NA KEHNA was an AVERAGE ????……rediculuos…this the top earning movie…….blockbuster….in overseas…and semi-hit in india….
for the last 10 years he has been working with KARAN JOHAR & YASH RAJ only & earned success under there banners….. its nothing more than his bad luck as he had left a lots of great movies……
whatever…..king khan is the king of nollywood….ruling since 15 years…..will rules next decade…..

only salman khan si the king he is the no 1 wanted is the super hit of 2009 sallu roxx this year
this year is only and only belong to salman khan he is teh 1st king
SRK is one of the king in bollywood because he won highest 13 award in bolllywood.
No other can compare with him. i hope 2010 awards goes to The one and only king of boolywood for My Name Is Khan.
akki is good but not best because srk,salaman,aamir is best actore now.
Ajay Devgn – No doubt, an ordinary face but an extraordinary actor.I LOVE HIS EYES,THE ACT OF TAKING CIGGARETE IN HIS HAND.
akshay is stupid actor he is hit becoz of katrina , he sholud not compare himself with shahrukh khan
shahrukh is best he is no 1 to no 10
akshay is no.1 forever he is ther real king of bollywood
I think Akshay is far better than rest of the actor……………..and why salman……….he dont know acting………..Abhishek Bachchan is far better than Salman and Hritik.Aamir is also very good actor…………..I think 1st is Akshay,2nd is aamir,3rd is Shahrukh but my 4th is abhishek Bachchan and 5th is Ajay Devgan.Abhishek Bachchan hd given 14hit films and Hritik hd given only Approx 6 hit movies.It maens Abhishek is better than Hritik,and salman is the worst actor.Ajay devgan is far better than Hritik and Salman.
srk shud go first
den akshay
den others
hi shahrukh khan king is the no.1 hero always
sharukh khan is always no. 1
he is the real king of bollywood after
here is my list
dilip kumar
amitabh
shahrukh khan
Yeas I believe that Shah Rukh is the best actor off all the time for romantic movies. Boolywood movies are not very notable for classic movies like godfather, Gladiator…… English movies r great for classic movies that r not romantic so actors like Al pacino, M brando, R niro is the greatest actors of all the time when i consider the film that r not romantic. On the other hand for Romantic film the indian films r the greatest and i think shurely Shahrukh is the greatest romantic actor of all the time. So Shah rukh is the bolywood king.
For Romantic film Shahrukh is the no 1, and then dilip kumar
salman bhai is the real VEER & in VEER he has proved it
here is my list
shahrukh khan
humphrey bogart
dilip kumar
big b
no amir no salman no hrithik no akshy noone
srk is the best actor of all time it s written on wikipedia
Hritik is the Handsome of not only bollywood but also world, srk, akshy,salman, amir etc may have local image, but hritik has a global image….ok.
Akshay was never a great actor. He wasnt as talented as many others.
But he was one of the most hardworking actors in the industry. He worked on more movies than any other. Each movie providing more employment. Each movie bringing new talents. Never shied away from working with banners / productions / directors / actors n others which were not rated great ones by the media. He stayed in the race for soo many years as one of the heroes in bollywood .. though manytimes he had threatened to become the superstar. the recurring flops in between never let him be one. But the media didnt realise that this man’s fan base was building and would go on to threaten the media bias and stupid hype given to other so called stars, star-sons,star nephews etc. Al the years he never had to beg for movies even though the media called his movies flops. There were many banners ready to sign him.This showed that his movies were always recovering the cost.He was the best action heroes. Was one among the best dancers.Had a good comic timing. Had one of the best screen presence of all time bollywood.Was the best performer on stage on any given stage shows.U knew this man was givin his everything and fans loved this genuine energy. His movies never boasted of the best production/director/music director/actress/ technicians etc. He made brands out of them. Everyone knows that no othr actor could match his presence on screen or on stage if they were on the same platform one on one. He would always outshine the other stars.Media said he would edit othrs roles..but he joked why dont they give him a best editor nomination. This man has been sportive always. He is the one man industry and no othr actor would ever be able to steal this title from him.”The one man industry”
Jai Ho Khiladi !!
no one can even stand on the place where akki is and no 1 can struggle as akki did
it is now loud and clear, aamir is the best wherever you puts him, in whatever role. though doing less films than his co-star he is at the top, this indicate he is a great marvel, a real masterpiece and truly deserves to be called Mr. Perfectionist.
Akshay I Love u very Much………………………………….
U ar a perfect Khiladi………………every acror is dull in bollywood, but u ar the King
hrithik all time best…………………
all time no.1……….
so hrithik is no.1 all time forever………..
fuck u all….if u got me…..dabangg salman khan is the evergreen superstar,,,and voted no.7 world handsome looking person…and asia`s sexiest man alive..and india hottest man….and most kissed,hugged and captured personalities from india in madame taussads wax meusuem……thayt shows his one man army stardom….. TRULY ROCKSTARR….and amir is gud actor but after salman……and vo gaand si shakl ka srgay….saala karan johar ki gaand maar maar kar yahan tak pahuncha h…..chutiya actor……..totally GAANDfattu…..VO TOH SAALA SALLU BHAI K SAAMNE AANE SE BHI DARTA H…….KHAK MOTHERFUCKER KING….SALMAN KHAN IS THE REAL KING……WHO NEVER SHOW HIS STARDUM……
