Is Salman Khan's comeback the best in bollywood history?

Haven't even liked most of his movies last decade (apart from Bajrangi Bhaijan and Sultan & Dabaang) but the comeback he did was crazy. I was looking at his page on Box office india and he was basically a flop actor in the 2000s.

Dude had like 4 hits (not counting No Entry and Bagbhan where he barely had a role). Then suddenly with Dabaang he delivered one Blockbuster after another (even for completely shit movies like Ready, Bodyguard, Kick..).

Lately he seems to be declining but his run in the 2010s is pretty crazy

Yes I believe it is

Wouldnt really call it a comeback because even through his leanest personal phases (read : when he was thought to be a MESS) his fanbase was really strong and he was popular as ever. He was already a star in the 90s.

I remember Tere Naam was such a fad that every person on the street had that hilarious haircut like Radhe Bhaiyya

Yeah but hardcore fans alone are not enough, SRK's movies last decade showed that pretty clearly. On BOI Tere Naam despite it's popularity is listed as just a "Semi hit".

With Wanted and then especially Dabaang Salman started to make movies that connected with the general audience very well and delivered tons of Blockbusters.

In the 90s he was definitely a star already but he declined a lot in the 2000s when others like SRK or Hrithik were more dominant.

Shahid was in the same league as Abhishek Tushar Kapoor. But after Kabir Singh he is in the leagues of Hrithik Ajay 😭

Yes , he was almost finished after string of flops in 2000s decade but somehow turned things around and became the no1 star by some margin in the next one.
