Varun is the one that I like the most among all of the current lot mainly due to his passion for diverse cinema.

But in the process of admiring him we should not discredit others.

Many on the forums think that varun is the first one who gave 5 consecutive hits at the start of his career.

BUT THE FACT IS... HE IS NOT THE FIRST ONE having this record.

he is the second one.

The FIRST EVER Bollywood actor who gave five back to back hits at the very start of his career is none other then our very own SALMAN KHAN.

Here is the fact-sheet :-)

1. Maine pyar kiya - 1989 - ALLTIME BLOCKBUSTER.

2. Baaghi - 1990 - HIT

3. Sanam bewafa - 1991 - SUPER HIT.

4. Patthar ke phool - 1991 - SEMI HIT (just like varun's mein tera hero was a semi hit at box office).

5. SAAJAN - 1991 - SUPER HIT

Sallu's career first hiccup was Kurbaan his 6th relaease which was just an average grosser, followed by Love (flop).

Let's see if varun can break salman's record with his 6th release.

(u r welcome to verify these facts through any bo source)

Varun hasn't got 5 hit films:

1. SOTY - Semi-Hit
2. Main Tera Hero - Semi-Hit

Both were Semi-Hit, means not clean Hit, after which he has given 3 hit back 2 back, abhi hattrick hi hui hai hits ki, 5 films hogi if film after Dilwale is also hit.

3. HSKD - Hit
4. Badlapur - Hit
5. ABCD 2 - Hit/SuperHit

In general I find it stupid to compare any new comers to the Khans.

Say what you will about their movies now but back then they did good films. They actually worked hard to make it.

All 3 had impressive line up, and yea Salman is not a great actor, heck he himself would admit it, but he at least in the beginning was decent. He brought justice to every character in the early years. He had his own charisma.

And I love Varun, I don't want him to be the next "Khan", I want him to make his own name.

With this logic should we consider Bhagwan Dada as Hrithik's 1st film 😆

By your logic, it makes both of them equal so far in terms of Hits, Salman had 3 back to back hits (sans Patthar Ke Phool which was Semi Hit), and Varun too has 3 back to back Hits so far. 😊

Salman didn't have a big role in Biwi ho toh Aisi If I'm not wrong? So it shouldn't be a part of his hits and flop. Salman received his DEBUT actor awards for MPK.

Kurbaan is his 5th release, Saajan came in August and then came Love

Salman's Debut film's record has yet to broken by anyone debuting after 1989. A Massive 14 Cr collection, 4 Cr footfalls, 1980-1989 biggest grosser (80 Decade's), after which he gave Baaghi(Hit) & Sanam Bewafa(Hit) Films. After a Semi-Hit PKP, he gave SuperHit Saajan. So all in all, he has given 1 ATBB, 1 Superhit, 2 Hit & 1 Semi-Hit. Which in any way not comparable to Varun who had success with his 3rd film not 1st.

Salman made huge on Single Screen, while Varun has tripple the advantages of Plex+SS, Promotions & HUGE Release plans.

Why not? I wonder why his fans don't count Biwi Ho To Aisi as his debut? Salman had the supporting role in that movie (like Varun in SOTY). His debut as the LEADING ACTOR was in MPK just like Varun in MTH.

Ya u r right, he had 5 releases in 1991, if u take order of release, then Kurbaan came 5th which was average. Still, Salman had better record from 1st 5 films.
