5 Biggest Hits of Akshay Kumar And Katrina Kaif Which Prove That This Jodi Is A Hit Machine

There is hardly a dearth of popular jodis in Bollywood. From Shah Rukh and Kajol to Amitabh and Rekha or Varun and Alia more recently. While all these actors have displayed great chemistry on-screen, there is one couple who burst into Bollywood like a Roman candle. We are talking about Akshay and Katrina.

Sadly, they did only a limited number of films where they were paired opposite each other before the news of their affair made a married Akshay stay away from her, the few films they did together made them quite the hit machine. Here are the ones we are talking about.

Namastey London

One of the most loved film of the duo, Namastey London has contributed a great deal to Katrina’s loyal fan following. While Akshay was pitch perfect as the ‘pind ka gabru jawan’, Katrina showed real promise as the London bred Jasmeet or Jazz. The film collected about 52 crores and was declared a hit.

Singh Is Kingg

The biggest hit of this jodi, Singh Is Kingg was a superhit by every measure. The comedy, the songs, especially the magic of Teri Ore still lingers in the mind of every Bollywood fan. The movie collected a whopping 94 crores back in 2008 and still has quite a loyal fan following.

Welcome

The mad comedy caper by Anees Bazmee has a cult following of his own. While characters like Majnu Bhai and scenes like ‘aloo lelo, kanda lelo’ is what made the film the masterpiece it is, the Akhshay Katrina factor also had a lot to do with its success.  The film made a staggering 98 crores and is the most successful film of this jodi together.

De Dana Dan

Yet another comedy, De Dana Dan might not be a roaring hit like Singh is Kingg or Welcome, but it still managed to grab audiences mostly due to the Akshay Katrina factor. The film went on to make a comfortable 65 crores in India in 2009 which is decent even by today’s standard.

Tees Maar Khan

Tees Maar Khan proved that the fans of this jodi will never let them down. Despite being heavily panned by critics and being one of the less successful films of these two hit machines both individually and together, it managed to collect about 82 crores in the country.
