Khan has a significant following in Asia and the Indian diaspora worldwide. In terms of audience size and income, he has been described as one of the most successful film stars in the world. shah rukh  has now come down to the 2nd spot in the domestic (India) ranking. If both Fan and Raees, which are touted to his return to ‘content-driven’ films, perform well, Shah Rukh could challenge Aamir Khan.  Shah Rukh has probably been a little unlucky too, Dilwale and Jab Tak Hai Jaan both clashed with big films. Chennai Express was also affected to a certain extent by the release of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara on its 7th day. Only Don 2 and Happy New Year had a free and open run. For Shah Rukh, it would be about releasing one good film at the right time.

Chennai Express – 227 crore
Jab Tak Hai Jaan – 121 crore

Performances in the 2000 terrorism drama Fiza and the 2001 ensemble melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... consolidated his reputation but were followed by several poorly received films. Hrithik’s average of 134 crore is fantastic, comparable to the Khans even though he doesn’t always get to release his films during Eid, Diwali or Christmas. To elaborate a little more on this, out of the last 5 films, all SRK films have released during one of the three festivals, except Jai Ho all Salman films have released during the three most lucrative periods in the industry and Aamir Khan too has preferred to release his films during Christmas (all except Talaash).

What we like about Varun is his choice of films and the effort that he puts into it, he puts in a lot of effort. And hard work so far, has not gone unrewarded.

He subsequently assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the film Black (2005), and made his acting debut with Bhansali's tragic romance Saawariya (2007), a box office flop. Kapoor rose to prominence with his performances in three films of 2009—the coming-of-age film Wake Up Sid, the comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, and the drama Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year.   the last couple of years have been disastrous for Ranbir Kapoor as ‘Besharam’ tanked after a good opening day and ‘Bombay Velvet’ couldn’t even manage a face-saving opening at the box office. Tamasha looked like a winner because it was an Imtiaz Ali film starring Deepika Padukone as the female lead, even that has failed.

Tamasha – 62 crore
Bombay Velvet – 24 crore
esharam – 57 crore
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 188 crore

In 2007, he starred in four consecutive commercially successful films. It’s been a disappointing 2016 for Akshay Kumar and the ranking . All his films were expected to be 100 crore grossers, especially Brothers, but the Dharma Productions’ film was his lowest grosser of 2016. One film was profitable, Not good enough when the younger actors are now delivering 100 crore grossers. He has a big line-up for 2016 too and most of his films look promising; Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom and Namaste England.

When the film was gaining momentum, Brothers released and made a huge dent on the business of Drishyam.  3 of his last 5 films have failed, Singham Returns was his biggest grosser.
