Ranked: 10 Bollywood Stars With Most Box Office SUPER HITS

It’s tricky for a film to get a box office verdict as ‘ Super Hit’. The status of a Super Hit reflects a number of aspects such as:

i)                    the film is a solid hit to begin with

ii)                   the film has yet not been able to multiply its profit manifold

iii)                 the film has done very good business yet not good enough to become a blockbuster

iv)                 the film has been able to impress most sections but not all.

In simple words, when a film more than doubles the investment of distributors, it is given the verdict of a super hit. It’s not easy for anyone to shed out super hits just like that. Digest this for a fact: stars like Hrithik Roshan , Ranbir Kapoor , Shahid Kapoor have not been able to make into this list since the minimum criteria for these rankings was at least 3 super hits.

So before you scroll through to find out where your favorite actor stands in the list, we suggest you read these pointers first:

Minimum threshold considered for this list is 3 SUPER HITS to credit.

Only SUPER HITS have been considered in this list, not HITS, BLOCKBUSTERS or ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTERS!

The list only includes male actors, we’ll make a separate list for female actors.

Only actors with debuts in the 90s or late 80s have been considered.

In case of a tie, the actor with higher adjusted gross has been placed above.

So let’s start with the rankings:

Rank 10 - Aamir Khan – 3 Super Hits

Despite being the biggest box office ruler in Bollywood right now, Mr. Perfectionist finds place at the bottom of this list. While he has a number of Blockbusters and All Time Blockbusters to his name, maybe it’s a sign of his extreme perfection that he doesn’t just settle with Super Hits.

Ishq – 18 Crores

Fanaa – 52 Crores

Taare Zameen Par – 63 Crores

Rank 9 - Ajay Devgn – 3 Super Hits

One number 7 is Ajay Devgn with as many super hits to his name as Aamir. However with total collections of his two other movies surpassing Aamir’s adjusted gross, he finds a place above.

Ishq – 18 Crores

Singham – 101 Crores

Singham Returns – 139 Crores

Rank 8 - Sunny Deol – 4 Super Hits

The Bollywood Hulk besides possessing some of the biggest Blockbusters to his credit has four super hits to his name too. While he made a fabulous debut with Betaab, his initial years also included movies like Tridev, Ghayal and Darr that were all Box Office super hits.

Betaab – 5 Crores

Tridev – 9.50 Crores

Ghayal – 6.50 Crores

Darr – 10.75 Crores

Rank 7 – Govinda – 4 Super Hits

Comedy in the 90s was synonymous to Govinda and that’s evident with the number of super hit comedies the actor has delivered in the era. All four of these movies have been made in collaboration with David Dhawan as director.

Raja Babu – 8.2 Crores

Coolie No. 1 – 12 Crores

Saajan Chale Sasural – 13 Crores

Hero No. 1 – 17 Crores

Rank 4 - Anil Kapoor – 5 Super Hits

Anil Kapoor has been fairly consistent in terms of delivering grand successes at the box office right from the 80s. While he had a super hit collaboration with Subhash Ghai, his grip at the box office didn’t loosen up even until the recent times.

Karma (Official Figures Unknown)

Ram Lakhan (Official Figures Unknown)

Biwi No. 1 – 24 Crores

No Entry – 43 Crores

Race – 61 Crores

Rank 3 - Shah Rukh Khan – 5 Super Hits

With as many super hits to his name, Badshaah must be given credit for having quite a few Blockbusters and All Time Blockbusters to his name. However when it comes to delivering Super Hits, he is just behind two actors of the same league as his. Although, Kal Ho Na Ho’s inclusion in the list was very debatable since most reports claimed the film was only a hit. However, given its box office collections back in 2003, we’ve put it in the Super Hit category.

Darr – 10.75 Crores

Mohabbatein – 33.25 Crores

Kal Ho Naa Ho – 38 Crores

Veer Zaara – 41 Crores

Happy New Year – 203 Crores

Rank 2 - Salman Khan – 6 Super Hits

The man who found the top spot in the Blockbusters list has to make peace with rank 2 this time around. With half a dozen super hits to his name, Salman Khan asserts his dominance right from the very start. While most of his movies in the last seven years have been blockbusters, his record still places him high in this one.

Saajan – 10 Crores

Sanam Bewafa – 5.75 Crores

Biwi No. 1 – 24 Crores

No Entry – 43 Crores

Wanted – 61 Crores

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 211 Crores

Topping the list with an unmatched seven Super Hits in his filmography is the National Award winning actor Akshay Kumar. Interestingly, all of Akshay’s super hits have come in the last ten years or so. While he also has a number of blockbusters to his credit, Akshay as it turns out is leading the race of Super Hits.

Phir Hera Pheri – 42 Crores

Singh Is King – 69.50 Crores

Housefull 2 – 118 Crores

OMG – Oh My God – 83 Crores

Airlift – 128 Crores
