Arjun Kapoor:

Not including Ranveer as DDD and BM are massive projects so he's ahead of the pack imo.

Sid also has Hasee Toh Phasee which was an average affair btw. SOTY+HTP+EV= one semi-hit, one superhit, and one average.

Varun/Sid at the same level. Arjun is out of the race, will only star in daddy's flops now. Shahid was never in the race.

Edit: Nvm. I see you haven't used anything below semi-hit. But how can you leave out flops when considering BO power?

As per stats Sid .But alot factors go into opening music .Timing of release didnt EV release after long time post Heropanti tgeir wasnt any decent movies in that time from May to June music was hit which did help.

Badlapur was very risky and A grade so it getting higher opening is quite good but even this had good music.

If Shahid can get Dharma or big banner movies, he is the biggest boxoffice puller. His fans outnumber each of these actors by a nice margin.

For current scenario, it's Varun Dhawan. every movie with good 50+ crores till now, i guess.

To understand Sid's boxoffice pull, 1st he has to do 1 movie outside of Dharma. Ek Villain was music all the way where the side actor was praised more than him

Arjun Kapoor should retire. When an actor has to worry more about his body weight than scenes of the movie, this is not a comfortable profession to be.

Varun & Arjun have given HITS on their OWN, out of which Varun has bigger pull.

Shahid has done a lot more movies so he'll have more flops. Anyways, star power largely depends on ability to give big hits. Akki has given more flops than anyone but still a superstar. Someone might have given average films consistently without flops but he won't be considered a big star.

Dharma have given flops like EMET, Ungli, GTPM etc. They are just like any big production house like YRF, UTV etc. Shahid has worked with some big directors as well like Rajkumar Santoshi.

Still...if Shahid gets a movie from SLB, Rajkumar Hirani, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya, Dibakar at this point... i think they will be hits. rajkumar santoshi has lost his mojo, he is not the same guy anymore.
Udta Punjab boxoffice will give a hint about his boxoffice pull... coz the director's last movie has been immensely appreciated and people will come to watch the next...so the burden lies on Shahid and his stardom to make it a hit

but saying that, it's truly surprising that he still doesn't have one 100 cr movie..and the critically praised Haider barely managed 50 crs.
