Note: We haven't included two prolific actors Sunny Deol and Govinda in the list. Deol was a superstar, even though he wasn't very consistent at the box office. He had quite a few hugely successful films like Border, Darr, Zindi and Ghatak, just to name a few. Govinda delivered several hits with David Dhawan and was one of the most popular and successful actors of the 90s. We are currently in the process of retrieving data from old film magazines. We are also working with a well-known trade analyst to rectify the 90s data, which isn't as accurate as we'd want it to be at the moment.
