Akshay Kumar’s Koimoi Filmometer

Akshay Kumar is the ‘Boss’ of Bollywood and is well-known for delivering multiple successful films in quick succession. Though he started his career in 1991 with a flop, the actor established himself as a superstar in Indian cinema in the coming years. Even today, the actor is among the top money-spinners and has a strong success ratio at the Indian box office!

How do we calculate the success ratio?

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

Akshay Kumar’s box office success ratio: (19 + 24 + 6 + 30)/129 x 100 = 61.24%

Total Releases – 129 Super-Hit/Super-Duper Hit – 19

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shahid recalled the low and rough phase in his career where his three films went flop back to back before he started shooting for Vivah. He shared, “Just before Vivah, one film had come out from Sooraj ji’s only called Main prem Ki Dewani Hoon which had not done well, and right before that I had 3 flops in one month. I had done Shikhar with Ajay Devgan sir and John Matthew, who was the director of a film called Sarfarosh, and it was a disaster. Then, I did another film called Life Ho Toh Aisi with Sanjay Dutt sir and that was with Mahesh Manjrekar, who was a hit combination, woh bhi flop ho gayi. They must be thinking ‘Iska luck kharab hai.’ Then, number 3 was an amazing film called Deewane Huye Paagal,...

Shahid Kapoor is said to have reservations about working with Akshay Kumar in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2. The actor was reported to be unhappy with the way his role was heavily edited in their last film together in 2005, Mid Day claims. "Deewane Huye Paagal was a nightmare experience for Shahid. What started off as a two-hero Akshay Kumar-Shahid project finally ended up being a one-hero film on the editing table," a source told the tabloid.

BollySpice is on the sets of Patiala House at the Trent Bridge cricket ground in Nottingham. The film has Akshay Kumar in a new on-screen avatar - a cricket player, and not just a cricket player, but playing in the England colors. The Diwali release is being touted as one of the most poignant Indian films of modern times, with a very different Akshay to what we have seen from his recent oeuvre. Amidst the sounds of cheering crowds and blowing horns emanating from the stadium, we grabbed a spot on the outfield with one of the biggest stars in Bollywood.

Could you describe Patiala House in three words?

Three words? I can describe Patiala House in lots of words but not in three words. But I will try my level best. (Pause) I will call for my director maybe he will be much better!

What we love about your...
