Kisme Kitna Hai Dum? - overseas

By Taran Adarsh, October 29, 2005 - 10:30 IST
Who rules the box-office? Is SRK magic at work? Or is Salman Khan calling the shots? Is Aamir Khan the new Numero Uno? Has Abhishek Bachchan surfaced on the scene? Is Akshay Kumar the flavor of the season?

The year 2005 has thrown a lot of surprises. There's no denying that the equations change every Friday and what we may consider to be the most bankable actor, might have a different story to tell at the ticket window.

In an effort to find the right answers, we at IndiaFM did a complete study of the business of films released from January to October 2005. On the basis of the film's performance at the box-office, a few unexpected results have come to the fore.

We are surprised and so will you be when learn the truth vis--vis who's hot and who's not at the Bollywood box-office!

Get set for an eye-opener of sorts. The data has the power to make you think and analyze the true potential of 22 top-ranking stars of Bollywood.

Note:- Opening Weekend Average In U.K. - 2005
Note:- Actors with one release aren't included.

AND THE WINNERS ARE…
No. 1: Saif Ali Khan. No. 2: Abhishek Bachchan. No. 3: Akshay Kumar.
