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.
I typed a LONG message in Internet Explorer and somehow clicked on a link.. Pressed back and the comment is gone. IE sucks so bad.. Opera or Firefox is the way to go. Use those browsers, please!
About Shahrukh – He did appear semi nude, the video is not fake.
About Shedding clothes – Obviously i wouldnt allow my sis or wife to do it!!! But the fact remains, if someone wishes to, then why not? Mallika Sherawat, Minissha Lamba too have a family. So if its acceptable to them, who are we to question or give them tags like – slut? What they do behind doors, hasnt been proved nor is it our business. What we dont know, what we havent seen obviously can be true or false.. So when you arent sure of something.. how can you call someone slut? Even if you did happen to see, physical attraction towards the opposite sex is perfectly normal! Sometimes you do tend to do mistakes.. which you might regret later on in life.. There is a lot to it.. I will finally say.. Noone has the right to digrade another human being. No matter who!
Now about my religion.. Yes am a Hindu. Hindu gods are mainly divided into 3.
Brahma is the creator, Vishnu also known as the supreme god is the preservor of the universe and also love! Shiva is the destroyer.
Now regarding the so many gods.. They are either son / daughter / wife of the above mentioned gods or some avatar of themselves. Like for example.. Ganesha is Shiva’s son and Krishna is an avatar of Vishnu. Just that they have so many different names and different forms.. There are temples for different avtars.. Like Krishna is very famous in North India as there are many temples and also the fact that Krishna was born in North India (Mathura to be exact)
You must see B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat, an Indian epic, which was aired during the late 80s. Am sure you can download it somewhere from the net if you wish to, ask me if you interested and I can help you out. But television show was a blockbuster to say the very least. It made its way into the gunnies book of world records. It got 98% viewership from the large nation called India. It was an experience to walk out on the streets on Sunday at 9 AM.. rarely would you find a single soul on street. The streets were deserted, shops were closed. People followed it with such a passion.. Muslims, Chirstians, Hindus.. you name it! Its a must watch.. Its a fantasy.. But you get to learn so much from the epic!
Ask anything else if you wish to
Ashok: I don’t think that we can convience each other.. while mentioning Minnisha or Malika, u said if families accept what their kids would do.. so who we r to judge them.. yah.. that’s right.. but another fact is that there r some ppl whom we really respect and some ppl we don’t ( when we see them expose the way these actresses do for the sake of money) a fact would remain which is: A girl or a boy would be born and would be raised by some respected, good families who teach them all the ethics.. what’s right.. what’s wrong.. and never allow them cross the red line, so they grow up and they know the right from wrong.. and there r families who find everything is just normal.. even prostitution is normal in their life! the father is a pimp, a mother is a prostitue or a slut, so the kids also will grow up learning all these stuff and it would be for them normal to do all the wrong things in life ( this happens in every society.. in your society.. in our society.. in every part of the world).
I remember while visiting India on 2006, while I was with a group of friends in a bus, travelling from Agra to Jaipur, in the way, the Indian guide, as he used to explain for us everything about India and their culture, told us when we were about to reach an area the following: we will reach now an area which prostitution is the people’s culture and it’s something normal in their life, they teach their girls how to be prostitutes when they just reach the age of 10 or 11!!! and this happens out of poverty, so please.. don’t stare at them from your windows ’cause they won’t like it ( and we could understand that they won’t like ppl watch them or give them a feeling that they r (wrong people) and living according to their weired culture which makes prostitution is just.. normal!!
So if these ppl r doing it ’cause they r poor, lived poor, they were born poor, can’t even find their day to day food to eat, who can blame them.. no one, but if one of these poor girls..let’s say.. was fortunate and could get a better life when she grew up, so became an actress or a model, the way she lived in the past would be for her (normal) and would continue doing the same even if she’s not in a need of money, because she lived with it, became a habit of her and since her childhood.. but the fact is that what they find it “normal” other ppl won’t .. that’s the point. I remember when I was at the age of 18, at a college, I had friend who was also muslim but lived a free life. One day she invited me to her house, and her father was home.. some guests came to their house and the father asked his daughter: Please do the hospitality, she went to the kitchen and came back with a tray with some glasses of wine.. means alcohol!! I was just embarresed and asked her after the guest left: Do u people drink?! and your father asks u to serve drinks for his guest?!! She said.. yes.. what’s wrong with it!!! then I knew that for them was just (normal) and the worst was that they were “muslim”!!
I think we have to stop discussing this subject, and about your religion, I will get back to u later, as I have to leave my pc now. Have a good day and thanks for giving me some info. about your religion.
Hello ASHOK,
Thank you for your comment on my comment, so kind! I never believe anything I say is of any merit so I’m always genuinly surprised when someone replies!
How has this discussion on the Top 5 Actors turned into a full blown, “my religion” – “your religion”, it’s interesting how the “discussion” (sometimes rude shouting match) has developed. Personally I’d like to get back to the essence of the discussion, i.e. the top actors in Bollywood.
My humble theory is we LIKE who we like and we DON’T like whom we don’t like, it’s as simple as that. Why get bogged down with all the financial side of the film industry, because to me that’s only of interest to the accountants? If part of someone’s interest in Bollwood is understanding the figures and how well a film has performed financially, that’s great but how many crores (is that a £1million?) a film has made is that last thing in my mind when I chose to watch a film.
Does anyone seriously think when I go to see DOSTANA next month that’s I’ll be pondering the financial success of it, over how well Abishek & John act and look (yes I have seen the trailer!).
I can’t believe anyone who loves HRITHIK ROSHAN (or any of the other top 5), as I do, thinks “oh I’m not going to watch his next film because it only cost xx amount of crores to make and is only predicted to make xx amount of crores in return”. I will watch a film because I want to and wether I’ve enjoyed it or not the financial performance is of no consequence at all.
Of course the financial success of a film is of interest to the actor too because that’s how he or she makes his living, but if an actors primary motive is the financial reward then I think it would show in their work. An actor who loves his/her craft, well I think you can see it in the “quality”of the films they make. Having said that even a great actor can’t turn a poor script or poor direction into a good film, they have to have good material to work with in the first place.
This is just my opinion and it’s the law someone will disagree somewhere, but if we all agreed with each other we’d having nothing to talk about, so may the “discussion” continue!
Sandra.
Sandra: u said that u hv read all my comments on this website, and that’s what I was killing myself to explain for everyone under this website, what u have mentioned in your last comment, and in most of the pages, as most of the commentators value movies which (only) won at the box office financially.. and they ( do forget) that sometimes even the sutpidest movie would work!! ( and I already gave many examples for bad movies which were blockbuster movies) so ratings as blockbuster.. superhit.. hit.. average.. flop.. disaster.. all is according to the box office.. but the question is the following:
Could the movie which was a blockbuster or a super hit be considered as an excellent one?! What about the critic acclaims?
Could we say that a Blockbuster movie means – outstandng movie
The super hit movie means – excellent movie
the hit movie means – a good movie
the average movie means – not so bad one
the flop movie means – a bad one
the disaster movie means – a horrible one
That’s my purpose for visiting this website, my aim for discussion with others about movies
Nice discussion
@Sandra
You made some very good comments here lady. I agree with you here. We have no right to comment about some one just by his/her outer appearance. But I do beg to differ in some cases like Rakhi Sawant and many others like them because some of them really dont care as Fathiya said and will do anything to get some cheap publicity. Sometimes there actions may provoke us to call them names and all kinds of bad words. But personally I also feel that actresses should not be called prostitutes just because they wear less clothes.
@Fathiya
You know I love it when people argue the same point about Hinduism again and again but you will have to give credit to Hinduism. Had it not been there so many religions wont even have come to existence like Islam, Buddhism, Jainism etc. Because its some of the bad points of Hinduism that drove people to these other religions. But there are some good points too. Now you asked why in Hinduism there are so many god. That is because hindus treat nature as a supreme force. They believe that all the creatures in the world have God in them and thus they are divine. They worship all kinds of creatures and even the trees because they believe of existence of God in them. And for this reason only they have so many gods like Ganesha is an elephant and Hanuman is a form of God in a monkeys body. And if you want to know more about it you should definitely read Bhagwad Gita. This book is about the spiritual speech Lord Krishna(who like Prophet was believed to be a messenger of God) gave to Arjun. You know I have seen so many people change after reading it. It is believed to contain many secrets of life and death and is so intriguing. Now everything I told you is what I learnt from my parents and grandparents anyways I am an Atheist and I dont believe in all this crap(May I rot in hell .. lol).
Ashok: About yr religion.. another question.. were these Gods (human) like u andme.. and others? Or u consider them different.. like prophits? We, as muslims, consider prophits just normal ppl with some gifts from God, we had many prophits with different strength and abilities, with different stories, but we believe that the creator of this world including human, animals, palnets, etc is only one God.. a God which have all the power and which isn’t compared to human’s strength.. human is nothing comparing to God.. God can’t be seen, can’t be heard, can’t be senced as he is (all the power) which we r unable to see or communicate with, a human can’t create all these and God can’t be one of us.. can he?!
If u could answer my question, then there will be another question which will follow.
Hello Fathiya,
Of films Indicine have listed as flops / blockbusters I have added on the end what I personally think about them and you will see that I put no emphasis on how well they have done financially. I’ve watched them and I’ve loved them or loathed them because they have either appealed to me or not, as simple as that.

I noticed that you loved Chak de India and I have no doubt when I tell you that I was bored senseless by it that you will want to know why and wish to convince me my opinion is wrong! My finger hovered over and hit f/fwd relatively early on, I just didn’t like it and had I gone to the cinema to see it I’m not sure I’d have even returned to see the second half. Please take it that I didn’t like it and that yourself and others did! It’s a perfect example of the wonder of why we are all different and like different things. I actually saw all the publicity and thought, “this looks a good film” but when I watched it just didn’t enjoy it.
It’s not because CDE was a serious film that I didn’t like it; I don’t only love happy/romantic films, for one example a favourite of mine is Kabul Express – CBE is just one film I wouldn’t watch again.
Sandra.
Ronnie: first of all.. I didn’t say that Minnish is a prostitute.. cause prostitution means sleeping with any guy and get money & pleasure in the same time.. I said she is a slut.. and that means that any woman agrees to expose this way can’t be considered as a respected lady or a decent woman.. yah.. she might be good in manners, with ppl, she might be so sweet, she might be very helpful. and believe me.. I respected Raakhi Sawant when I saw her on Koffee with Karan for just one reason.. she was (honest) and spoke truth about herself.. but that won’t make her a respected lady.. people do understand all her cirucmstances and what led her to this path.. to be an item girl or doing some cheap item songs, but the way ppl see her won’t change only if she changes for better, leaving this world and find another job, and never showup naked on the screen or magazine.. then it would be the turning point in her life and people would respect her for that.. but who will have any respect for a woman who showup this way!! as Minisha Lamba did?!! Everyone would call her the same.. even some Indian girls when they saw her pictures on bollywood buzz they were shocked and said that about her.. so it’s the most people’s reaction when they see these picutures and no one can defend her only if someone is(enjoying) watching her pictures!
About religion: Everyone.. all human being whether we r muslim, chritstian, budthist.. we’d have doubts abut God’s existance.. me too.. because millions of people died in this world because of the religion.. but.. believing in a specific ppl, human, as the creator of this world.. that I would find it (stupid) because no human, and how much strength the human have, how much he got extraodinary power.. no one could believe in him as a God or the creator of this world!! if ppl believed in the past that some humen were Gods.. let’s consider them “simple people”, but now, and as we r educated, do u believe in our current time e.g. if someone was extraordinary and had powers like magicians.. if this guy came and said that he is the God! would u be able believe in him that he is a God?!! If he would say that he’s only a messenger from God I won’t believe him.. then how could we believe if someone who is a human, with flesh and blood and brain like us that he is the “creator” of this world?!! could u.. could me.. could u Sandra.. Ashok.. create even a fly or a sand or a star in the sky?!! Do we have this power to do so?!! So why do we hv to believe in some human that they were the creators?!!!!
Sandra: yes.. we r different ppl, u didn’t like Chakde.. but we all loved it, indian ppl loved it and it won the award as best movie of 2007 and Shahrukh too, as the best actor.. but what really surprised me is the movie (Jaaneman) and (Kabul Express) the first one is one of the worst indian movie which I saw so far, very bad direction, silly, crap which should’ve been a disaster.. but was rated as “average”!! and one of the best movies which is “Kabul Express” which was so good in direction, funny, and nice, but didn’t please the majority.. why?!! I don’t know!! but I think that ppl thought it was shot in Afghanistan so might be a boring one and didn’t watch it although it was an interesting one.. I saw it twice.
U loved OSO, I didn’t like it, I liked only the songs and Deepika, the actress.. u liked Tashan and I saw only 30 minutes and stopped the movie running.
SALMAN KHAN: SORRY BROTHER.. WE BOTHERED U WITH OUR DISCUSSION.. BUT AS U KNOW.. WHEN WE START A SUBJECT TO DISCUSS, WE JUMP INTO SOME OTHERS.. AND I THINK IT HAPPENS WITH EVERYONE.. DOESN’T IT?!! DON’T WORRY.. WE WILL END IT BUT AFTER I GET A REPLY FROM ASHOK.. REPLY TO MY QUESTION.
Hello Salman Khan,
Many thanks for your reply, I didn’t realise that what we were writing was “meaningless cr*p”, (yes I know what the definition of bakwas is Salman), I genuinly thought we were having a balanced, educated and informed discussion written in plain English?
Crumbs and here was I thinking I sounded reasonably intelligent; Salman thank you for pointing out one of my faults, I will try my best to rectify it immediately! One of my good points is that I like helping people, so with this in mind I wondered if you would like some help with your spelling, punctuation and grammar? I’d be only too happy to tutor you after the holidays.
But as you’re in London today and will be until October 24th your more than welcome to come up to Cheshire for lunch if you like; I can meet you at Manchester Airport.
Regards,
Sandra.
(Light hearted comment not meant to be taken seriously!).
Dear Fathiya, if you scroll up you will see that you used the word “whore” to describe Minisha. “Whore” is a synonym for “Prostitute”. I am pointing this out because it seems as if you turning on your own words as is evident in your comment to Ronnie where you claim that you didnot call Minisha a prostitute! it hurts my heart to see people behave as if they are paragons of virtue themselves that they take it upon themselves to judge others and convince themselves that they are right in doing so..
It is not at all respectable to call any woman (no matter whether she is or not) a whore!!!
I request the indicine team to diffuse this argument before it gets really ugly and disrespectful……
Dear Salman,
Pardon me, I meant to say, “…you’re”, not, “your”, more than welcome (ref my last comment to you).
Regards,
Sandra.
(Light hearted comment not meant to be taken seriously again!).
I agree with Sandra, ABD and Ashok.
Dear Indicine team,
You have been deleting inappropriate and abusively worded comments in the past like the ones of Punjabi Sher and Raj but you seem to hesitate where Fathiya is concerned. Why? Please be an impartial administator. Delete her comments on Minisha being a slut and a whore.
Indicine Team: I don’t mind.. just do as they wish.. delete these words if it hurt them so much! well sorry if I bothered u all by these words..but ABD: when I described her with these words, I meant she’s a slut, if the word (whore) means a woman who sells her body to the customers for the sake of money, so I was wrong to use this word, but as far as I know that the following 3 words ( slut, bitch, whore) have one meaning which is: a woman who loves to showup naked for others, a shameless woman who enjoys ppl watch her body naked, a woman who goes out with men just for pleasure, means she’s not doing it as a profession, unlike the prostitute who does it just for living as a main purpose, for the sake of money, that’s what I know, and if I am wrong, let Sandra correct me as she is British and knows better the meaning of these words.
And ABD: how do u want me, to respect such a woman?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! respectable words r for respected ppl, not for a trashy actress!! I’m here just saying what I think about her, but if u ppl don’t agree, then it’s ok with me, let Indicine Team delete them and let’s have another subject to discuss.
And Indicine Team: Don’t show us the pictures of naked actresses.. why do u show us their pictures?! What’s the purpose of showing us these pictures?! I think u do it that we see them and to express our opinion about them, what do we (really) think about these pictures.. don’t you Indicine Team?!
Hmmmm.. Interesting discussion but way off topic. From Top 5 Actors to Minissha’s bikini to sluts and whores to religions… Can we get back to “Top Actor in Bollywood”.. please?
Fathiya, am gonna go ahead and edit some of your comments. Minissha Lamba has just posed for a “Men’s” Magazine.. Showbiz is all about glamour. Minissha obviously tried her best in girl next door type of roles but she never really got the recognition she would have expected or hoped to. When her career was going nowhere, Sanjay Gadhvi (who had just completed directing 2 blockbusters) approached her with a glamourous role. Which struggling actor would turn down such a huge break?
And frankly, I see nothing that would warrant words like slut / whore. Whats wrong in a Bikini? Its just a beach wear! You cant expect a young modern Indian girl to be draped in a Saree / Salwar on a beach.. do you?
For now though, lets get back to the discussion on actors.
Sandra,
What do you mean by “Love” – Babul (2006) – 17 crores – Flop… LOVE
Do you mean to say you loved the movie?
Dania,
There are so many actively discussed topics that its hard to follow all of them. And no, we are not partial towards anyone. Comments that we feel are offensive to members / fans will be deleted. If you find something offensive, please use the “Report this comment” feature.
Thanks everyone
FATHIYA and everyone else,
There is an expression that says, “It’s like flogging a dead horse”, which can mean a subject has been gone over and over so much, there comes a point where there is no point in carrying on anymore because everything that can be said has been said – and in the end you realise everyone is repeating themselves to a point where everyone’s head aches and are exhausted by the discussion. I raise my hand to that one – anyone else? I just want to put my last point to this matter and let Fathiya (God Bless You), know she gave me the biggest laugh I’ve had in such ages.
When FATHIYA wrote above, “…let Sandra correct me as she is British and knows better the meaning of these words”, I chuckled to myself for a good hour. And now the pain from all the laughter has subsided I can compose myself and respond!
What I think (hope) FATHIYA means is my English may be better because it’s my first language and I will know the defintions because they are words written in English. However what it actually reads as is, “Sandra is British so she’s bound to know all about these meanings…” – and in the phrasing it kind of implied that some people’s opinions of British girls are sterotypical & derogatory.
I KNOW that’s not what you meant FATHIYA but that’s how it does actually read. I won’t take it personally because meanings do get lost in translation sometimes, hence I will give you the dictionary defintions of the words that the actress in this discussion was alleged to be (and I say ALLEGED because the terminology used is actually LIBELLOUS
(the DEFINITION of LIBELLOUS is….”containing a written false statement which hurts a person’s feelings and reputation); so if Miss Lamba were to see, or hear about then see, what has been alleged about her here on Indicine she could in fact in law sue for libel if she wished, seriously.
And I QUOTE FATHIYA if I may… “this TRASHY actress Minnisha Lamba?!!! She’s a WHORE!! If u don’t believe me then view her “lovely” pictures, as she shot for Maxim India.. she’s just a SLUT and nothing else.. her pictures r shocking!
The definition of TRASHY is…….worthless – does anyone know Miss Lamba to be a worthless person?
The definition of WHORE is…….a woman believed to act like a prostitute – does anyone know Miss Lamba has ever sold her body to a man in return for sex with him?
The definition of SLUT is……..an untidy woman, one considered to be immoral – do we know Miss Lamba to be a scruffy unkempt woman who doesn’t know any moral value in life?
That’s why I think it’s quite DANGEROUS for anyone to say outright someone is any of the OFFENSIVE words above, because in reality they could be being accused of being something they are not.
ADB is correct in saying we need to END this discussion NOW because look where it has and could potentially end up, if it goes any further.
God Bless Everyone
Sandra x.
Dear Indicine,
Yes I loved the film BAABUL ie I really liked it. You say you love something when you really like it. It’s not like saying to someone “I love you”, it just means I like the film a lot and it’s one of my favourites to far. I suppose as it was deemed a FLOP I should consider it a guilty pleasure then?! I loved John Abraham in it – but don’t panic it doesn’t mean I LOVE John Abraham, it just means I found his performance touching.
Sandra x.
Dear Sandra: No.. don’t get me wrong.. I didn’t mean what u understood.. I meant that as u r English, so it’s your basic language, and we might be wrong in understanding the meaning of the words mentioned in my comments.
And, as I said earlier, as u are a western lady, your culture is “different” and I gave a long explanation for that. U find these naked girls did nothing bad and nothing wrong with their pictures.. and on a (men’s magazine!) which no girls from any respected families would do so, unless they r some trashy, and yes.. we in the East consider any woman who behaves this way a slut, a trashy girl.
Dear Sandra: Our culture is different in East, now life is different in India and it’s not as it was in the past, they have sex freedom, men and women have affairs before marriage ( not all of them, but lots of them) and they find it normal, and In West, in your culture, also u have sex freedom, therefore, u all find a woman who wears bikini, or even she gets fully naked on the beach or wherever is just normal, but it’s not in our society as if 50% of ppl find it normal, the other 50% of ppl won’t.. that’s a fact, therefore we disagree in our conversation ( so it would be better to end discussing this subject).
And Indicine Team: If I saw Minnisha Lamba at a beach, wearing a swimming costume, a bikini which is designed for swimming only ( and not for seduction!) I can’t call her a slut, because she was at a beach, for swimming purpose.. so it’s (so different) Indicine Team when a woman shoots in a glamour way, wearing a very sexy bikini, for the purpose of (seducing men) and on a men’s magazine..and did it on purpose.. and in different positions than seeing a girl at a beach wearing a costume which is for swimming purpose.. only!!
hi all….
somwhr i read that Deepa Mehta’s next will feature Akshay, surely its going to b a serious movie i hope its a good movie…
I believe AK is considering some serious roles now his next “BLUE” he plays a serious negative role…
“When u hav money u can become selective” as simple as that…
Wat say guys….
Akshay kumar is playing one more sikh role. This movie will be a block buster. Noone can stop. Akshay is a king and he will remain as it is for another 10 yrs..
Finally.. Aksahy will be in some serious movies.. I’d love to see him in some different roles, and Deepa Mehta is a good director, I think she’s the one who did the movies Manson Wedding & Water, didn’t she?
My Fav Actors List , . .
1) Salman
2) Aamir
3) Akshay
4) Hritik
5) Shahid
I Hate Shahrukh Khan..
my fav actors list….1) akshay 2) Salman 3) Amir 4) Hrithik 5) no one
i also hate shahrukh……he mainly does girly roles……leaving Chak de…….he pays money to get awards…….does lots of marketing to get his movies running…..eg. his six pack marketing to promote OSO.
the movie was complete shit………..akshay can do anything…..action,comedy,serious…etc.
Bishan: when I called minnisha as a slut, because she exposed in a slutty way ( all of us could see her, and they r real pictures, not some fake ones!!) but Bishan, how could u be (so sure) that Shahrukh pays money to get awards?!! Do u have any prove?!! Now this is very bad to say, accusing someone and u hv no evicence!! Aishwariya accused Kareena that she too pays money to be selected as the most glamourous actress, why?! Does she have any prove for that.. or it’s her “jealousy” because Kareena is number one now?!!
Bishan: sorry for the typing mistake on the 4th line ( I typed evicence, and meant to say evidence)
Thanks for reporting Dania. Comment has been edited.
Thank you Indicine Team.
I hope and pray that people like fathiya, punjabi sher and others will be diplomatic and assertive in expressing their opinions. I totally agree with Sandra, ABD and Ashok for discussing this issue. thanks to you all….
Dania! Wat are u saying this? I cant understand?
Bishan u are right srk is a cheater. He is not a grt actor. His movies like oso are the proof of this. AKSHAY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dania: u already asked Indicine Team to delete my comments about the picture, and I respected your wish(your feelings for Minnisha!!) not only your wish but also for some colleagues which I respect and had the discussion with , so I asked Indicine team to do it, but u have (no right) to compare me with other commentators on this web. Moreover, who the hell r u to come in between our discussions about this issue and u even didn’t share with us in our discussion?!!!, not only that, I don’t even remember u as one of the ppl who write in this website ’cause u do it once in a month maybe. I’m not sure!!
Indicine Team delete offensive comments when it relates to u as a commentator or to me, if e.g. u attacked me with bad words like some ppl did in the past with me, so I’ve reported them to the team. We hv the right to express our opinion about any movie, filmstars, singers, actresses exposing and that’s the main purpose for visitng bollywood websites, to see and to express our opinion.. and just as an example: u or maybe someone else might find a sex porn movies very normal and nothing wrong with them, but I don’t.. that’s why we disagree, I find a woman a slut, u find her innocent, but it’s not your right to interfere and ask the ppl who r encharge of this website to delete other ppl’s comments because u didn’t like them and hv no relative with you in any way!!! I think u never visit other websites who say very bad words, sentences, about some celibrities, about very famous ppl! ( visit You Tube website and see what they say about Shahrukh who is the king of bollywood and others!) and no one would delete their comments.. if they didn’t hv the right to express their opinion, so the websites would’ve deleted them without even someone report to them or they’ve warned the commentators not to do so.
So Dania: You have no right to report other people’s comments, but u hv the right to report to indicine team what relates to you only.
