Akshay on fire, edges past Shahrukh, Hrithik


Akshay Kumar has recorded his first solo blockbuster now. What seemed like a successful film in the making is now challenging records at the very top. Rowdy Rathore, which is continuing to be a hurricane at theatres and still attracting audience by dozens, has now found a place in Top-5 Bollywood films of all times, what with Shahrukh Khan as well as Hrithik Roshan being edged out.

    Akki ahead of HR is acceptable as RR did better than AP and both did not have a good last year or so. But how can we compare RR (Akki’s best) with Ra.One (SRK’s bad movie if not the worst). Akki took 2+ years to recover from TMK. But, SRK could easily deliver a 100+ cr movie in Don2 just 2-3 months after Ra.One.

      Srk recovered from just Ra 1 .. Akshay recovered from, CC2C , TMK , Blue and 8X 10 tasveer

      Just try n compare Srk’s bad WOM movie Ra 1 with Srk’s Good Wom Movie – don 2 where don -2 did lesser than Ra 1 ??? ….

      so u will know that Ra 1 was EXPECTED to be something else to be comapred with any movie

    Though this article doesnt exactly prove that Akshay is ahead of these 2 at BO as it just net gorss. But, even coinciedently at Boxoffice Present Ranking Akshay has overtaken Shahrukh & Hritik and is at no.3 after Aamir & Salman.

    Just wait ek tha tiger then picture will b vry clear who edges out whom and with dabangg 2 salman will surely rule the roots for long time Inshallah. Akshay might b at no.2 in 2012 bt can never edges out salman khan for 2 years atleast after ett and dabangg 2 mark my words It will b Inshallah

    How stupid to say that akshay at 2 or 3!

    Forget 2,3 or 4. He is not there even in top 5.

      the same way sallu came out from nowhere after dabangg and started ruling the BO and become number way , same way akshay is at number 3 after two biggies …

      Though joker is real worry that can bring him down :(

    Sooo how is RR doing in overseas? ;)

    Akshay is inconsistent and pretty sure he will lose his Top 5 slot with his next few releases. SRK is consistent and hasn’t had a flop since I don’t know when.

      For a movie with SS appeal and doing 65 % busines sfrom SS , it has done 3 million dollar that is enough if we compare to other movies with similar theme be it singham or wanted ….

      PLUS its INDIAN cinema we are more concerned with HUGE INDIAN POPULATION’s like rather than few NRIs(in compariosn to indian population

      Abt sallu setting the trend , i have number of times mentioned , sallu might have signed wanted befpre ghazini , but GHAZINI SHOWED THE WAY THAT MASALA CAN BE VERY BIG

  13. Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 2 Thumb down 7

    Plus Manish, when Salman did it, he was changing the trends with South Indian OTT Action films, now with Akshay he is just following Salman with RR remake, same with Ajay Devgan with Singham. So one cant say that Akshay has made the same impact that Salman made back in 2009/2010.

      Thats why i didnt say that akshay is number 2 , i just said akshay is number 3 ….. and thats true whether u agree or not ….

      Ajay didnt open well , akshay opened the movies well .. and that shows , MNIK was coverage in India and so is Ra 1 (thats when u take BOI) else its flip so how come u didnt see the failure of srk ???

      Is TMK a sucess with 18 crore profit for u ???? just the way Ra 1 is success for u ?

      if thats the case akshay had just bad 2009 and bad 2011 not 2010 as he has 1hit , 1 semi hit , 1 avergae and 1 flop .. will u take it this way fasel ????

      No matter what u say TMK is flop so is Ra 1 and even MNIk did well in overseas and was average sort in india ….

      so that ways akshay is ahead , and iam not getting illogical , if joker underperform and srk gets 125 plus ofcourse srk will be ahead

    This article make me laugh badly .So because of the status we will say this actor is better than the other and the budget can go to the hill loool and compere RR with agneepath is like the similarities between inception and the avengers .RR is massala entertainment like dabangg and the film will not cross 130cr but agneepath is the mow rwo and emotional massala film and collect 121cr and break the opening record no one did that if the film has less emotional will cross 140cr easily .Forget everything i really like the logic right now .Aamir so many people put him N1 or 2 because of the 200CR film when krrish 3 release and beat every single film i will wait for the same people to talk about Hrithik .I pray for Hrithik to do massala entertainment like RR and Dabangg and then we will see what we mean by BIG HIT .

      if after doing 1 movie in one and Half year a SUEPRSTAR cant give a BIG BIG hit then he is not liable to be called Superstar ….

      abt emotional masala , didnt agneepath has natural buzz because of being remake of a CULT movie ???

      plus ghazini was another emotional masala movie that did 114 way back in 2008 …

      so if ppl get masala in right way(right script) they will love it whether , its more of entertainment or emotional connect ….

      arent emotional romance few years back teh biggest grossers ??

    Manish
    who said agneepath dont have huge buzz and who said that massala touch didnt help the film the problem here if we want to make acomperesion we talk what we wont and forget what we want .you compere ghajini with agneepath ? REALLY ??? Afilm that have too many comedy scene with emotional romance and action with afilm that dont have asingle light scene from the first to the end and we have too drama + too raw action and blood and this make girl and family people far away not like RR and Ghajini .Just be honest man because no one try to let dawn RR here because the film did great numbers as expected

      where did i let down Agneepath ??? i didnt say anything who stopped them from putting comedy scenes???

      i never put down agneepath , rather on Sb i was saying that the record to beat for akshay this year is agneepath which meant ofcourse i regard agneepath’s collection as good ….

      all iam saying is this emotional thinag and everything is just fan made thing even RR is not high on multiplex collection rather it underperformed in akshay’s mainstay punjab and delhi as per how akshay’s movies perform there ….

      RR’s 65 % business is coming from SS not multiplex and 65 % means huge considering the ticket price there ,and its nt huge in Multiplex though it has done decent in multiplex

      rajneeti didnt even have big stars and didnt have comedy still it did 93-95 crore in 201o it was emotionala masla drama , since it was well made it did well , and even agneepath was well made so it did well

      it is BO , every friday things changes So akshay edging out HR , what is laughworthy in that ????

      i believe with 2 biggies in 2006 HR was ahead of srk , HR has his moments … and wil surely get it again next year with krish 2

      i pointed out all these things because of u finding it laughworthy …. there was nothing laughworthy . had they put akshay ahead of aamir then it wd have been laughworthy but they didnt do that

      i knw u r not fanatic thats why i replied to u else i avoid commenting

    @serenzy… I thought it was a pretty good movie but was made unnecessarily longer than required…… I watched this movie when I liked srk yet this movie is behind Mohabatein for me… In fact I took 2 days to watch KKKG and let me tell you one thing once I start watching a movie I usually complete it… in my whole life I have quitted only 2 movies for not liking the movie… These masterpieces were Ab tak chappan… Lol the second movie I couldnot watch is drona which coincidentally I tried watching today

      @srenzy good question……anyways if we have to decide top 3 on current performance then aamir can’t be there in any case,his last release was in december 2009 and no commercial release after that…….if akshay can get in top 3 with back to back hits , srk remains there with 3 back to back 200+ cr worldwide grosser with 2 in same year…….

    Rajeev couldn’t have said it better:

    “srk remains there with 3 back to back 200+ cr worldwide grosser with 2 in same year…….”

    I can understand people wanting to take SRK out of the Top 3 or Top 5 because he’s been the consistent throughout his 20+ year career.

After achieving success with his starting movies he was like I am the only sahenshaa of bollywood…Too proudy man I started hating srk watching his videos where he said I am number 1..I am the king and bla bla..too much arrogance……amitabh is far greater than srk and never heard amitabh saying i m the best….no doubt srk was #1 for quite a time, but even when akki, salman, aamir are #1 they dont say I m #1…

    @sanjeev – please listen to all aamir’s videos just before the release of Ghajini and 3 I and u will come to know what all he used to say. e.g “SRK said that he wants to be at no. 2 after me”

    “I have put the posters of Ghajini in the theaters where RNBJ is releasing because I want to promote RNBDJ since SRK’s film are not doing any business these days (after CDI and OSO days)”

    “SRK do not know any thing about marketing, it is just his PR work. He can learn from me about marketing”

    “Dog’s and black (film) episodes are quite famous” and after Black contraversy he sent his persons to have a meeting with AB but was rightly kicked away by Bachchan’s office, refusing to meet him.

    Yeah even I believe that aamir is more chutiya than srk….. only looking for self benefits all the time….I think he has personality disorder (seriously I m not joking)……remember how he named his for srk and said srk is licking my feet… Is it possible for an actor who beings social program like satyamev jayate to say things like that? So I seriously think aamir is half Jekyll And half Hyde
