Salman Khan Vs Shah Rukh Khan – Who’s Truly Ruling The Box Office Since 2011? (Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook)

Both Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are unbeatable when it comes to stardom. Known for their powerful screen presence, the superstars continue to rule the hearts of millions even after spending over three decades in the entertainment industry. While both share mutual respect and are close friends in real life, their fans keep the battle heated when it comes to the box office game. So today, we’ll look at who’s having the edge over the other in terms of success ratio and per-film average collection since 2011.

Salman Khan’s box office run from 2011 to the present

Salman was truly unstoppable in his dominance from 2011 to 2019. Unfortunately, in the post-covid era, he completely lost his Midas touch. From 2011 to the present, he has witnessed 18 theatrical releases. Out of these, only 4 failed,...

In a new installment of This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha revisits Salman Khan’s Tubelight, directioncted by Kabir Khan that released in 2017.

Faith, they say, can move mountains. The hero of Kabir Khan’s latest and his most…ummm… noble (if one can use that word without cynicism) film to date actually thinks he can move a mountain by just focusing hard on getting it right.

Tubelight is not a film for the cynics. But if you can toss aside your reservations about a world steeped in arcadian innocence and accept humanism rather than hedonism as a way of living, you can actually savour the supple undulating rhythms of Kabir Khan’s storytelling without questioning his right to create a world so far removed from practical, stressful concerns while addressing a theme as grim as war and its ravages.

This is a very simple story with a deceptively...

Salman Khan’s Filmometer & Box Office Worth (Picture Credit: IMDb)

Salman Khan is undoubtedly the emperor of the box office! Ever since he made his acting debut in 1989 (as a lead), the actor never looked back and kept climbing the ladders of success. Just like his on-screen persona, his feats at ticket windows, too, have always been larger-than-life. Despite delivering several flops over the years, the superstar has maintained a healthy success ratio, and below is all you need to know!

How do we calculate the success ratio?

Formula: (Super-Hits/Super-Duper Hit + Hit + Plus + Average)/Total Releases x 100 = Success ratio

Salman Khan’s box office success ratio: (19 + 13 + 5 + 5)/80 x 100 = 52.50%

Total releases – 80 Super-Hit/Super-Duper Hit – 19

The crime thriller Raid 2 is now the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025. Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh starrer is now competing against biggies like Omg 2, Rustom, and others at the worldwide box office. Scroll below for the latest update on day 23.

Raid 2 Box Office Collections in India

The weekend boost was much needed as the collections have now dropped below the 2 crore mark. Three Bollywood movies – Bhool Chuk Maaf, Kapkapiii, and Kesari Veer were released this Friday. The show count have reduced, which will also impact Ajay Devgn starrer. On day 23, Raid 2 earned 1.23 crores.

The 23-day total at the Indian box office stands at 163.02 crore net. Including taxes, the gross earnings come to 192.36 crores.

Raid 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Riteish Deshmukh in the lead roles, is back on track after facing a significant drop on Wednesday. Amid the growing tension between India and Pakistan, the film dropped more than expected on its day 7, but now, it has been maintaining a steady pace. In the meantime, on day 9, it has comfortably entered the 100 crore club at the Indian box office, making it Ajay Devgn’s 4th film to achieve the feat in the post-covid era.

In the absence of new Bollywood arrivals, the Raid sequel retained an impressive share of shows/ screens in the Hindi belt for its second week. This helped the film to bring in a steady score despite underwhelming occupancy. In the morning shows,...

Salman Kabir Creative Clash (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Salman Khan is well-known for his hot-headed nature. The Dabaang star has had great duels with Bollywood bigwigs, and he has no qualms about it. One such person with whom Salman had a rough start is director Kabir Khan. It was Yash Raj Films’ first project, starring Salman Khan, titled ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and director Kabir Khan was given the task to direct the spy-thriller.

However, Salman and Kabir Khan hadn’t worked together in the past, and there were bound to be some differences. While the movie did turn out to be a huge blockbuster success, Salman Khan and Kabir Khan did have some differences during the making of the film.

While Salman has never addressed it publicly, Kabir Khan did speak about it at a media event back in 2015. Ironically, that was during a media event before the release of Salman...

Sikandar Box Office Collection Day 1: Salman Khan Starrer Disappoints! (Photo Credit –Facebook)

It’s been a sad Eid opening for Salman Khan fans. Sikandar was predicted to set new benchmarks in his all-time highest openings at the box office. Sadly, the action thriller could not even debut amongst the top 5 highest Eid collections in Bollywood. Scroll below for the day 1 update!

Sikandar Day 1 Collections

Cine-goers are disappointed as many felt Salman Khan was not at his prime best in Ar Murugadoss’ directorial. The early reviews were mixed, and the buzz was highly impacted. After a lukewarm response in advance booking, the spot bookings did not amp up either! On day 1, Sikandar has earned 30.06 crores net in India. It has scored the second-highest opening for Bollywood in 2025 after Chhaava (33.10 crores).

Where does it stand amongst the highest Eid openings in Bollywood?

Clearly, Bharat (42.30 crores) is out of reach by a huge margin.

Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Sikandar has released in theatres worldwide today. It was an unusual arrival, as it was a Sunday, but the pre-Eid holiday was expected to boost the opening day collections. Unfortunately, the result is far from what was expected. Scroll below for the early trends on day 1.

Directed by Ar Murugadoss, Sikandar is reportedly mounted on a budget of 200 crores. The stakes are definitely high, but predictions claimed it would cross the 150 crore mark within the first 3 days of its release. The pre-sales were underwhelming, crushing the 50 crore expectations.

Sikandar Day 1 Early Estimates

As per the early trends, Salman Khan starrer earned 26-28 crores on its opening day. The early reviews were highly mixed, so the title of the highest Eid opener was far from expectations. But not only did Sikandar miss Bharat’s 42.30 crores,...

Salman Khan fans eagerly await their grand feast on March 30, 2025. We’re talking about his about the release of his upcoming action thriller, Sikandar. Ar Murugadoss’ directorial aims to surpass Bhaijaan’s every Eid release to score the highest day 1 in history. Scroll below for a detailed analysis of the top 10.

Sikandar is slated for a Sunday release. This is the second Salman Khan film to be released on the last day of the weekend, after Tiger 3, which made a staggering opening of 44.50 crores. Hopefully, the odds will be in favor, and the Rashmika Mandanna co-starrer will shine throughout its first week.

There is massive anticipation around Sikandar, which marks the return of Salman Khan on Eid. The official teaser broke all records on YouTube within 24 hours, setting new benchmarks for Bollywood releases. But is Ar Murugadoss’ directorial heading towards earning the highest Eid collections in the history of Hindi cinema? Scroll below for a detailed box office analysis.

Sikandar Opening Day Expectations

The action thriller is the only big release in Bollywood on Eid 2025. There will be no significant competition as even Chhaava would have saturated by that point. Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna starrer has a clear way and potential to earn 45 crore+ on its opening day. On the second day, which will likely be the Eid holiday, the figures could go as high as 60 crores.

Salman Khan’s Sikandar is all set to open on Eid in the theaters and break box office records like none. Helmed by Ar Murugadoss, the film is a huge hope for Bhai fans to help him reclaim his box office throne that is ruled by a number of Eid releases.

Salman Khan’s Last Eid Release

Salman Khan arrived with Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan on Eid 2023. The family drama entertained the audiences but was not like any other roaring Eid release of the superstar. In fact, even the numbers earned by the film at the box office were satisfactory but not celebratory!

Sikandar Box Office Opening!

Looking at the trends of action films and superstar films, it is safe to assume that Sikandar will bring a box office opening of 50+ crore at the least.

Dabangg is the story of a village cop, Chulbul ‘Robin Hood’ Pandey, who deals with corruption and the system according to his own moral compass. The film offers a glimpse into Chulbul’s romantic escapades and his strained relationship with his family, which the local politician Chedi Singh (Sonu Sood) cunningly exploits to his advantage.

When Dabangg first hit theaters in 2010, I couldn’t quite understand the hype surrounding it. It was madness—everyone seemed gaga over it. But why? It had ear-splitting sound effects, and most annoyingly, music that drowned out many of the one-liners delivered by the cast.

It was a spectacle of exaggerated fights and loud sounds, a film where Salman pandered to his audience by ripping his shirt off, driven by the sheer force of his rage. Of course, at the time, a Salman Khan film without a shirtless scene was unthinkable. Like most Hindi films,...

Kabir Khan Once Confessed About His Plans For Tiger Franchise (Photo Credit – Instagram)

If there is one man who carved out the best out of Salman Khan in recent times, then it definitely was Kabir Khan. Be it bringing out the innocence of Pawan Chaturvedi in Bajrangi Bhaijaan or making him the suave and sharp Raw officer in Ek Tha Tiger. Tiger franchise is one of the brightest stars in Salman Khan’s career.

However, the third installment, Tiger 3, did not live up to the expectations as planned. Interestingly, the three films of the Tiger franchise have been directed by three different directors since the Og director did not want to continue.

Ek Tha Tiger was directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and Tiger 3 was directed by Maneesh Sharma. There have been reports that Kabir did not want to direct the sequel. But the filmmaker once opened up about...

After the success of Salaar, Prabhas has returned with his another biggie in the Hindi market. In the Hindi belt, the actor enjoys immense popularity, and with Kalki 2898 Ad, he has crossed his previous highest earners, barring Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. At the worldwide box office, the Hindi version has already crossed the 200 crore mark, and in the latest development, it has surpassed several biggies. Keep reading to know more!

The Nag Ashwin directorial was low on buzz before its release, but positive reviews and favorable word-of-mouth have helped the biggie attract footfalls. Of course, the stardom of Prabhas is playing a big role in fetching strong numbers among the Hindi audience. Interestingly, the Hindi version has now started taking the lead over the original Telugu version, and soon, it will dominate the domestic collection chart.

Kabir Khan, once celebrated for his cinematic prowess in delivering blockbuster hits, has faced a rough patch with his last three films failing to meet box office expectations. Known for his impactful storytelling and grand narratives, Khan’s recent projects have not resonated with audiences as his previous works did.

*1. “83” (2021)*

Despite high expectations and an all-star cast, “83” struggled at the box office. The film, which chronicled India’s historic cricket World Cup victory in 1983, was anticipated to be a major hit. However, it garnered mixed reviews and failed to draw large crowds. Critics pointed to its lengthy runtime and niche appeal as factors that limited its success.

*2. “The Forgotten Army” (2020)*

Khan ventured into the digital space with “The Forgotten Army,” a web series that chronicled the journey of Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army. While the series was praised for its production quality and historical accuracy, it did not...

Akshay Kumar & Tiger Shroff’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan opened at 16.07 crore at the box office. Clashing with Ajay Devgn‘s Maidaan in an epic battle, the film was expected to open huge, taking advantage of the Eid Holiday. However, the number of Gods was not too kind.

Ali Abbas Zafar’s directorial, however, has performed well overseas, and collectively, the film has earned close to 30 crore worldwide. Despite the underwhelming numbers, Bmcm has attained its first Eid record!

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, after a lot of confusion, was released on April 11, on the day of Eid. However, earlier, the film was supposed to be released on April 10, but the makers decided against it, assuming people might not turn up in theaters a day before Eid!

The makers of the upcoming Aayush Sharma-starrer action-thriller film ‘Ruslaan’ have joined forces with the Nh Studioz for the film’s worldwide release.

Aayush spoke about the partnership and said how much the distribution strategy is instrumental in the filmmaking journey.

Nh Studioz is known for its stellar track record, and has been associated with some of the most celebrated films like ’Pink,’ ‘Shivaay,’ ‘October,’ ‘Tubelight,’ and ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’.

Aayush Sharma said: “Finding the right collaborators is crucial in the filmmaking journey, and partnering with Nh Studioz is important to us. We have a shared vision for Ruslaan. Their track record of delivering impactful cinema resonates deeply with me, and I am thrilled to have them on board. Together, we aim to bring Ruslaan to audiences worldwide, ensuring that our film reaches every corner of the globe.”

Indian Police Force Cast Salary: Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty & Others! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

After much anticipation, Rohit Shetty released his action thriller series Indian Police Force on January 19, 2024. Starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, and Vivek Oberoi in leading roles, it is currently premiering on Amazon Prime Video. But can you guess the salary the entire cast took home? Scroll below for all the details!

Unfortunately, Ipf opened up to mixed reviews from critics. Despite starring the actors from the business, the viewers felt the plot was weak and very far from Rohit Shetty standards. There are seven episodes in the first season, each ranging between 31-49 minutes.

Take a look at the salary of the Indian Police Force cast below: Isha Talwar

Isha Talwar plays the supporting role of Rashmi Malik in the Indian Police Force. The actress, who made her Hindi debut with Salman Khan‘s Tubelight, has been...

Actress Isha Talwar shared her experience of practicing harmonium with veteran actress Dimple Kapadia on the sets of ‘Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo’. Isha said: “The silliest thing I think I did around Dimple was to take my harmonium to her room and practise the Sargam. I am not an expert and also, I usually practice alone because it’s the safest option. But when Dimple discovered the harmonium, I played the basics for her in her room and we practiced like little children do.”

Isha has worked in regional as well as Hindi films. She was seen in ‘Tubelight’, ‘Article 15’, ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’, ‘Run Baby Run’, among others.

The actress also acted in web shows like ‘Mirzapur’, ‘Roz Roz’, and many more.

Sharing how Dimple enjoyed singing and playing the harmonium with her, Isha said: “She sang along and that beautiful memorable afternoon ended up with me getting a big...

Actor Karan Maan, who rose to fame with ‘Tubelight’, and ‘Jamai 2.0’, has recently come up with his new web series ‘Farzi’ and said that the most challenging part of his character was the language, and it really needed a lot of effort to learn a new dialect.

The show marked the Ott debut of Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi. Karan shared how he became part of the project.

While talking about how he got this series, Karan, who is playing the character Murtuza, an army chief from Bangladesh, revealed: “When I was offered this role, I was like yes, this is something I always wanted to portray. The script sounded really exciting. The overall vibe was sounding really impressive. So, I couldn’t say no at all.”

When asked about challenges, he said: “The most challenging task was to get the Bangladeshi accent right. It was a bit challenging...

Despite the star wattage of A-listers Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar, the underwhelming box office performance of “Forrest Gump” adaptation “Laal Singh Chaddha” and “Raksha Bandhan,” respectively, have set the alarm bells ringing in Bollywood.

Both films released on Aug. 11. The date was tailor-made for “Raksha Bandhan,” a film about brother-sister relationships, as it coincided with the festival of Raksha Bandhan, which celebrates siblinghood. Headlined by Kumar, one of India’s most bankable stars, the film, which was made on a budget of approximately 9 million, has collected some 6 million in a week of release, according to industry estimates.

The numbers are starker for “Laal Singh Chaddha.” Khan headlined three of India’s all-time box office champions, including No. 1 “Dangal” (311 million); No. 6 “Secret Superstar” (154 million), by “Laal Singh Chaddha” director Advait Chandan; and No. 7 “Pk” (140 million). However, his last release, 2018’s “Thugs of Hindostan,” also underperformed.

“Laal Singh Chaddha,” which was...

"Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai", the title of Salman Khan's latest film that premiered on the digital platforms, Zee5 and Zeeplex, on the occasions of Eid on May 13, catches one's fancy. It certainly helps the film generate curiosity as well as positive vibes, a factor that helps a film get an opening response.

Actually, "Radhe" was Salman's screen name in his earlier hit "Tere Naam", and later used in his comeback film "Wanted" (2009), which was a remake of the Telugu film "Pokiri", directed by Puri Jagannadh. The Hindi remake was directed by Prabhu Deva.

Salman Khan has been a versatile actor who established himself with his very second film, "Maine Pyar Kiya", a traditional love story, and he has reigned in comic roles in films from "Andaz Apna Apna" and "Judwa" to "Ready". He has also played a second fiddle to Jackie Shroff in "Bandhan".

Just when Salman's career...

There was a time when watching Bollywood superstar Salman Khan as host during the weekend episodes of Bigg Boss was fun. He would, by turns, be in the mood for jokes and in the mood to tease the housemates. He would come down with admonition, too, once in a while, but things never turned sour, to the point of being off-putting.

On the ongoing season 14 of the show, Salman has mostly been angry and irritated, clearly unhappy with the way things are going on. In a season that should rank among the most boring in the brief history of Bigg Boss, Salman perhaps cannot be blamed.

There's more. Over the past few years, faced with bad box office for films like Tubelight (2017), Race 3 (2018) and Bharat (2019), Salman would invariably fall back on his immense popularity as host of Bigg Boss to maintain a connect with fans, who won't settle for...

For nine years, he has lived Chulbul Pandey in what he calls is a "parallel existence". If the maverick cop of planet "Dabangg" defines Salman Khan's superstardom more than any of his other screen avatars, the actor has now opted to become a part of the creative process driving Chulbul's mojo. He has turned screenwriter for the lucrative franchise with the upcoming "Dabangg 3".

"Working on a popular character and franchise is not that easy. Audiences have certain expectations from the franchise and it is imperative that the next instalment should meet the criteria," Salman tells Ians.

Actor Salman Khan was in a mood to take potshots at critics at the trailer launch of his upcoming film "Dabangg 3".

"I have worked on script of this film so, I want all the critics to criticise it. This film is for the critics (laughs). If we get bashing for this film then it will be not only in Mumbai but Chennai and Bangalore and the entire country. But if people will appreciate the film then, it will also resonate in the entire country," said Salman, while interacting with the media at the launch of the trailer in Mumbai on Wednesday evening.

Several top actors including Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra were scheduled to shoot in Kashmir for upcoming projects over the next few months, but the repeal of Article 370 has put Bollywood's plans to shoot in Kashmir on hold for now.

On Monday morning, Home Minister Amit Shah announced in Rajya Sabha that the government has decided to revoke Article 370 of the Constitution which grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The government also announced its decision to split the region into that two Union territories -- Jammu and Kashmir, which will have a legislature, and Ladakh, which will be without a legislature.

Ever since global streaming giants Amazon Prime Video and Netflix entered the Indian Ott space in 2016, the conversation around original series has mostly revolved around them, thanks in part to market leader 21st Century Fox’s Hotstar’s circumspect attitude at the time about producing content.

Netflix had great success with “Sacred Games,” while Amazon rode on “Inside Edge,” “Breathe,” “Mirzapur” and the recent “Made in Heaven,” and the U.S. majors also announced several other commissions.

Cut to 2019 where the scenario for homegrown Indian OTTs is vastly different and there is a glut in originals production. Hotstar, with 150 million monthly active Indian users, scored a slam-dunk in January, announcing a slew of A-listers signed up to create content, including Shekhar Kapur (“Elizabeth: The Golden Age”), Neeraj Pandey (“M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story”) and Kabir Khan (“Tubelight”). The first of the new original commissions include local remakes of hit franchises “The Office,...

Fox and Star India’s leading Ott platform, Hotstar, is partnering with a plethora of top Indian talent to create original programming under the brand Hotstar Specials, the company announced Monday.

Filmmakers who have signed up to create content for Hotstar include Shekhar Kapur (“Elizabeth: The Golden Age”), Neeraj Pandey (“M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story”), Kabir Khan (“Tubelight”), Nikkhil Advani (“P.O.W.: Bandi Yuddh Ke”), Ram Madhvani (“Neerja”), Venkat Prabhu (“Biriyani”), Sudhir Mishra (“Daas Dev”), Tigmanshu Dhulia (“Paan Singh Tomar”), Nagesh Kukunoor (“Dhanak”), Mahesh Manjrekar (“Natsamrat”), Vishal Furia(“Lapachhapi”), Rohan Sippy (“SideHero”), Debbie Rao (“Pushpavalli”), Sharad Devarajan (“Chakra The Invincible”) and Salman Khan (“Race 3”).

The expansion into original content comes as the race heats up for online viewers in the world’s second-most-populous country. Driven by cheap data charges, streaming is becoming an important platform in India, with aggressive competition between Hotstar, Netflix, Amazon, Eros Now, Sony...

Race 3

Directed by Remo d’Souza

By the time Salman Khan ripped off his shirt and Bobby Deol followed suit, I was ready to rip off my hair in exasperation. This maddening mishmash of hot babes and cool guys is a roaring, grunting mess of a movie.

Trashy beyond endurance, loud beyond the threshold of tolerance and outrageous beyond all definitions of lowbrow entertainment, Race 3 gives a bad name to the Salman Khan brand. Just when we thought he was trying to build a more durable variety of mass entertainment by reinventing himself in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan and the unfortunate Tubelight, Race 3 comes along to remind us with infuriating aggressiveness, that when it comes to Salman Khan there is a very thin line betweenrationale and absurdity.

Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan who partnered over three big films Tiger Zinda Hai, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tubelight, are no longer friends. According to a close friend of Salman, the superstar is not even on talking terms with Kabir any longer. “The differences between the two of them have been brewing for some time now. Tubelight was the end of their friendship. Salman and Kabir had heated arguments over how the film and its characters needed to be treated. There were stand-offs in full view of the entire unit where Kabir would just not give in to Salman’s suggestions,” says a source.

One of the highly awaited films Tiger Zinda Hai is all set to release this Friday. On Monday, Bollywood Hungama sat down with Salman to talk about Tiger Zinda Hai and whether the sequel needed a new set of eyes with Ali Abbas Zafar to tell a good story. To this, he responded, "No. Even if Kabir Khan would have got the script, it would have been fine. It is Yash Raj Films' property. Kabir was with us in Tubelight and after Sultan, Ali was free before Bharat. He had also worked on the script when it was being developed. It was the right thing."

At the Da-Bangg The Tour held in Delhi recently, Salman Khan opened up about the box office performance of Tubelight. He made it clear that he still stands by the film and remarked that if the film had not released during the happy occasion of Eid, it might have helped since his film was quite heavy on emotions and had little commercial appeal like his other entertainers.
