Stardom is often measured with the initial box office pull of actors. The opening day and somewhat weekend also depends on the star power. Later on, word of mouth comes into play which can do wonders in the long run. Even a Hollywood film like The Jungle Book can collect over 180 crores if the content is solid. And a high budget Bollywood film like Fan can warp under 90 crore if the word of mouth is not good.
The last time when we updated this article was one year ago. But since then not a single change has been made in the list. Check out the list first.

Salman Khan tops the list with his Diwali release Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which smashed Happy New Year record. He has an immense fan following and is one of the rare actors who can overshadow content, genre and director. His next release Tubelight will be released pre-Eid but Tiger Zinda Hai has chances to broke the opening record if released solo.
SRK is going through a bad phase but almost all of his films have taken a good initial. Dilwale and Raees had a clash whereas Fan was not a commercial film yet all these films opened in 20 crore range. With a right kind of films, he can still create magic. He has to wait for Dwarf which will release next year on Christmas.
Aamir Khan has been very consistent when it comes to opening. Most of the highest non-holiday openers belong to him. Though there is also a factor that he does very few films. When an actor does more than one film in a year he put his stardom at stake. His next film Thugs of Hindustan is sure to break all opening records.
There is a big gap between the Khans and the rest of the actors as far the initial pull is concerned. Ajay Devgn comes next with Singham Returns but it has been his only bumper opener in recent times. His second best is Bol Bachchan which opened to just 12 crore.
Hrithik Roshan was riding high with Krrish 3 and Bang Bang, both of them opened good. But his last two films have been a big disappointment as they opened even less than 10 cr. When an actor comes after two years, he should deliver at least 20 cr opening. He will be relying on Krrish 4 to turn the tables but it is not releasing in near future.
Ranbir Kapoor has been the only young actor who has challenged the big guns. Besharam which had negative word of mouth opened to 20 cr plus. Though he faced some failures later on but now he is back in the business. Dutt Biopic can be a complete game changer for him.
Akshay Kumar is struggling for a big opener for many years. Most of his films have opened in 13-15 cr range irrespective of the genre, cast or release period. His upcoming films are also not looking so hot from opening perspective. Now it’s time for his to do a universally appealing commercial film.
Sidharth Malhotra surprised once with Ekk Villain but since then it has been a downhill journey. Ranveer Singh’s highest openers are Ram Leela, Gunday and Bajirao Mastani and will be hoping to break his record with Padmavati. Saif Ali Khan is now doing very few films and his highest opener is still multi starrer Race 2 released way back in 2013.
Varun Dhawan is one of the most promising young actors who has not delivered any flop yet. Judwaa 2 which is releasing later this year can prove to be his biggest opener. Tiger Shroff has quickly become one of the most popular actors among masses and has shown his potential with his second release Baaghi. Shahid Kapoor has been struggling since a long time and has not signed any film yet except multi starrer Padmavati. Emraan is almost out of the equation.
The holiday factor also helps the opening big time. Dhoom 3 is the highest non-holiday opener. Recently there is a trend that film releases before the National holiday to get the full advantage of the festive season. Thus the opening records are not being broken in last year or so.
Do tell us your views about which upcoming films can prove to be the highest opener for these actors?

Bhai- 2 movies.
Whole bollywood- 1 movie.
325cr+movie
AAMIR-2
WHOLE BOLLYWOOD-0
5+cr footfalls (since 1980):
Bhai – 2
Whole bollywood – louda. 😂😂
Gadar Ek prem katha chinese picture thi kiya ChUTi#E ????

Marigold footfall-only bhai watched his bigest film.
Total collection -1cr
Footfall-only bhai wo bhi so gaya
Hahahaha billy darling aab bol
Mein to kahta hoon aisi movie kabhi banegi nahi.hats of sallu for ur dedication.
We saw awwal number raakh too biggest disaster of 90s,80s even marigold failed to break Aamir’s record of these movies
Filthy lady @parshya, Marigold’s collections & footfalls >>>>>>> combined collections and footfalls of Raakh & Awwal Number…. 😂😂
2 kisne bola only HAHK hai sallu ki.
aur gadar ka FF bhi 5+cr.
aur tu MPK ko count kar hai to woh to RH/DDLJ se bhi choti hit thi,bas lower budget ke karan ATBB ban gayi.
Abe lallu low budget as footfall bad jata hai Kya
Ticket price to same thi that time
abe ullu ki dum,main yeh bol raha hu MPK ka FF 5 cr nahi tha.
MPK footfalls are much more than DDLJ & RH….U can ask even bollyarena, chamiya 😂😂
Abey ja chamiya,RH and DDLJ are way bigger hits than MPK.1989 aur 1994 ke ticket prices mein jyada fark nahi tha.chal tere liye double rate maan liya HAHK ka MPK ke muqable.
MPK ka nett HAHK ka 1/5th.
HAHK-7 cr FF
MPK-(7/5)*2=2.8cr.(considering double ticket rate of HAHK compared to MPK)
Chamiya all the major bollywood sites (including Indicine) have declared that MPK footfalls are around 4.5-5cr. You can ask even bollyarena.
Srk Ko Nahi Tere Ko Battery Bolne Ka Bollywood Arrena
.
Hny 👉 40.2cr Nahin 44.97cr Chashme Theek Se Pehn Ke Dekh Lo
45 Cr only by red chilli calculated other wise only 36 Cr

Very good article. 👍👍👍👍👍
As promised, we are revising old data and changing collections and verdict in last month or so. Some of the articles have already been updated and others will be updated in coming days. We hope that you will like the changes.
If you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments section.
Very good initiative!
Well played sir !!
First of all change the ek tha tiger collection from 198cr to 186cr
Salman koi dudh ka dhula nahi.
PRDP ka bhi manipulation hein.
Toh Aamir kounsa doodh ka dhoola hai? Are you ANDHI or what? Can’t you see Dhoom3 manipulation???
Abey Billy darling Aamir ne kabhi manipulation nahi kiya aur na karega nahi to Dhoom3 pahli 300cr hoti,talaash-100cr Hoti,PK-350cr hoti,Dangal-400cr hoti..
Sultan jaisi 300.45cr
Abe jahandu….
Dhoom3 producers figures – 284cr.
Dhoom3 trade figures – 260cr.
Ab bol manipulation nhi kiya😂😂
Abey ghade wo only hindi version hein.kaha se ate hein tiger the billy
So you want us to believe Dhoom3 collected 25+cr from Tamil-Telugu versions!!! Zaldi se ilaz karwa le apna😂😂
Aamir Dhoom3 ka producer tha kya.
Yehi baat alni chamiya @parshya ko…. Bhai wasn’t the producr of PRDP or kick.
Analysis is not fair enough as akki does 4 films per year still he gets avg 14 crore opening that’s really wonderful
As Amir does 1 film in 2 years where as srk n salman 1 film per year
So I think akki record is great..
Happy New Year 2014 mein release hui 3 years baad Bollywood Arena Team ko yaad aya ke Happy New Year ka 1st day business 44 crore nahi 40 crore hai pehle kya soye thy
Would love to know how accurate is bollyarena’s figures.Hope they can provide the data for that.Till then we have to believe the producer figures.
@bollyarena what is trade figures for prdp lifetime
SRK always gives record opening when he gets a solo festival release.Both CE and HNY are record openers.his next Rehnuma can break Dhoom 3 record of highest non holiday opening of 36 crore.
Srk only released on holiday day so it will break others movie released before holiday thats why they failed and Bollyarena too clarified it if dangal released on xmas day it will collected 43 cr + opening
Yes bro..Dangal sabka record todti to phir sallu ke pass ek bhi record nahi bachta.
Chamiya, ye toh yehi baat hui ki Sajahan mera Dadaji hota toh aaj Tajmahal mera property hota… 😂😂
Ye billy darling upar dekh tere bhai ne hi bola hein meine to uske ha mein ha milayi.
Abe chamiya, he is a srkian….. Andhi ho gayi kya?
But parshya darling aamir no 1 hone ka record nahi tod paayega wo 2nd hai 2nd hi rahega aamir bechara athg diye jaa raha hai par no 1 nahi ban paa raha hai
Ya right even raees was also released on holiday.
Bollyarena ur site us all about collection and money. Wud u ever talk about the quality of the films of these so called superstars? Or u don’t have gutzz to talk about it??
you said that you will give update through out the day. when will you give noon or evening show update for jolly
BOI has said all things and factors considered,Dhoom3 is the biggest opener of the decade.
srk X-mas rekease…
(1) Trimurty …22 dec…flop…
(2) Swadesh….17 dec….flop…
(3)Don 2…..23 dec….Hit…
(4)Dilwale…20 dec…SemiHit
kya enme se koi bhi….blockbusters h…??
This hater will answer anything about SRK even in his sleep.Boy get help for u r addiction.
Waah bhai waah
I won’t fight with you but….
You talk about trimurty ? Swades ? 2004 days ? 1999- days ? Remember that the first movie who crossed 100 cr belongs to aamir…in 2006 …
ab srk fans yahan dikhna band ho jayenge
hny ka collection pakad k toph dikha rahe the acha hua aapne unko sahi collection bataya
hny first day is i think 36 cr
40 cr bhi chalega
Why? Just because bollyarena decided to change the figure? What proof they have that the movie collected only that much?
Thanks Indicine….We salute you for giving correct and real figure of Opening day of Happy New Year.
As per BOI, it is 38 crores.
Thanks again for the correct figures..
Only Dhoom3 is non holiday opener.
All the star needs holidays for opening.
Par Aamir sabka baap hein non holiday pe 36cr to sochlo holiday pe to 45cr pakka.TOH will samash all the opening records,highest single day,weekend,
Lifetime
@BollyArena
HNY didnt Even Collect 40 Cr
Dangal 1st Sunday-42 Cr in 4300 Screens while HNY was released in 3800 Screens + 15% Lower ATP.
So Real Collection of HNY-36/37 Cr.
Now If We About Aamir,
He is yet to release a film on Full Holiday.Imagine Dhoom3 on 25th December,it would have crossed 42/43 Cr in 2013 itself.
Ghajini & 3idiots on Full Holiday-Result -Record Openers
Aamir only Gets Sundays in 1st Week and Everytime on Sunday,
He has delivered Highest Single Day Ever(D3,Pk,Dangal)
TOP 2 Non- holiday openers of Bollywood
1. Dhoom 3 – 36Cr 2. Dangal -29Crore
But No Xcuses I know
All Opening Day & Weekend records will be History on 7th November 2018. #TOH.
Who cares hater?If HN was Aameer movie u would have given 50cr for that.So shut up.
Happy New Year 44.97 cr (first day) Shahrukh Khan
Dangal 42.35 cr (third day) Aamir Khan
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo 41.75 cr (first day) Salman Khan
Bajrangi Bhaijaan 38.75 cr (third day) Salman Khan
PK 38.24 cr (third day) Aamir Khan
Sultan 38.21 cr (fifth day
Bollyarena
Taking BOI figure for Akshay’s SIB
But showing producer figure for Hrithik’s bang bang and K3 ..???
Is this fair..??
And by the way 40+ on day 1 is yet to be achieved ..!!
Pls correct
40 Crore in one day already achieved by Dangal Hindi collections only. Only one star who is way ahead on Non holiday openers the ace Khan the perfectionist Aamir Khan.
Absolutely right bro..
Above 40cr (Only hindi) Aamir-1
Whole bollywood -louda
East ya west sallu is the best.
1St day collection upcoming movies
Tubelight 30 cr.. ( ramzan time working day)
Rehnuma 26 cr. Solo realese ( working day)
Tiger zinda h 40 cr..solo realese (working d)
Golmal 4 28 cr..
Thugs of hindostan 45 cr.. ( diwali holiday)
The Gap between Ranbir and Akshay is too much!! Well not surprised with the list all the superstars there are either Record opening Ace bosses or National and Filmfare Award winners. Akshay paaji was always playing side roles in movies the above starred in or multicast with Suniel Nana Anil Govinda Javed Riteish John that is when he got his 4 successful movie in the year. Its very important to note Neeraj Pandey introduced him to Multiplex audiences if not his career was going Suniel Shetty way pre s26. That too When Ajay Devgn refused special 26. Greatest thumbs up for Bollywood Arena. HNY collection come to justice! Great news for Aamir and Salman fans. Good to see Hrithik my favorite way ahead of Makki an opening day that will forever be shut for Makki Kumar only in his dreams.
Jolly Beta 21 is 6 crores higher Than 16. Each crore is huge money so learn Mathematics first. Your Akshay is on same level with Sidhafth forget Ranbir!!
Fusslight ayegi kya ghanta record kargi.ye eid bhi barbad karga bechara sallu.iske bas ki bat nahi Aamir ka record todna abhi to bechare ko srk ka sahara lena pada hein.srk ko ek eid mili kam se kam usne 4 sal ka record to sallu se pahle toda par sallu abhi bhi pk and dangal chase kar raha kya
Wa kya eidmade /remake star hein
Hahahha
Tzh ka band rnbir bajayega
