I'm a die hard Ajay Devgan fan who saultes him for being one the best actors in Indian Cinema & 2x National Award Winner. As a fan, I support him no matter what people say about his Flops or Disaster.

This article makes me feel proud to be his fan to this day. He very underatted in terms of Box Office. Even The Legend of Bhagat Singh should been declared a Blockbuster.

------------------------



''Ajay Devgn is without doubt one of the finest actors in Bollywood. But he is still underrated in terms of his Box Office reputation.''

Here are 10 highest grossing films of Ajay Devgn that prove why it is foolhardy to write him off due to the advent of newbies like Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff in the B-town. The figures have been compiled from Box Office India.




The Number Games
Ajay Devgn boasts of three Rs 100-crore plus films in his kitty, namely Singham Returns, Golmaal 3 and Bol Bachchan. These three films have been helmed by Rohit Shetty, who is known for his expertise in masala ventures. But if you think that the 48-year-old actor can only churn out masala blockbusters, think again. Shivaay and Drishyam, that were different from each other, did decently well and cannot be termed as a failure. Especially Shivaay, that got Devgn pitted against Karan Johar due to screen allotment issues, earned more than Rs 84 crore.

The reason is evident. Ajay Devgn is as popular as Akshay Kumar among the masses. During my trip to Goa in 2011 that marked the year of Singham's release, guides were seen showing their clients the spots where Ajay Devgn pulled off action stunts as tough cop Bajirao Singham. If an actor can have such an influence on the masses with just one film, then it is really unfair as to why his films do not end up being blockbusters too often?

For instance, he played the role of a smuggler inspired by Haji Mastan in Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai. The dialogues of the film have acquired a cult status over the period of time. Made at a modest budget of Rs 35 crore, the Milan Luthria directorial also featuring Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut, Prachi Desai and Randeep Hooda earned Rs 58 crore.

Similarly, Ajay Devgn pulled off a brilliant act in Drishyam that turned out to be an average grosser. He was a solely responsible for the suspense thriller making moolah at the Box Office. All he needs is a bit more appreciation in terms of collections.

Ajay Devgan is still bankable as an actor and this article proves it. Many people are going to say SOS was a Hit because of Salman Khan's guest appearance.

That is not true at all. The reason why SOS was a Hit was because it was a massy film which was for target audiences.

Another thing as well, people say Ajay Devgan is nothing without Rohit Shetty which isn't true. Make no mistake, Ajay made Rohit Shetty what he is today.

Yes, you're right hence why the writer made a small mistake. Ajay is just as popular as Akki in terms of the masses. With Ajay, he only a has a small fanbase with Multiplexe audiences but single screen is more suitable for him.

You and I both are Ajay Devgan fans. So we can agree that Singham & Singham Returns should have been declared a Blockbusters. The Legend of Bhagat Singh also deserved a Blockbuster status but 2002 wasn't a good year in terms of Box Office.

I'm very grateful for you being the first to comment on this thread. madam because no one made an effort apart from you. I've been a Ajay Devgan fan since 1996 when I was 4 years old just a few months after his movie Jaan had released. I still remember this movie to this day.

These people on here are saying Ajay is a fading actor. Yeh Ajay
bahut acha actor hai so he's still bankable and he will never be written off in this industry.

When Ajay was doing movies, people like Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty & Govinda vanished because they made the wrong choices. Ajay did not rely on Rohit Shetty to give him success because he was a star before Rohit entered this industry. With Ajay, he made right choices in 2000s e.g. The Legend of Bhagat Singh, Gangaajal, Deewangee, Khakee, Omkara, Golmaal, Lajja, Raincoat, Company & etc.

The writer made small mistake in that box he had created.

Singham Returns came in 2014 so did cross 100 cr within 5 days.

SOS also did 100 cr as well,

This video should be helpful. Enjoy :)
