Akshay Kumar’s recent release Good Newwz hit screens last year. Since then the Raj Mehta directorial that also features Kareena Kapoor Khan has been doing brisk business. But for Akshay, it isn’t just this film that has been raking in the moolah at the box office; in fact, the actor has fast become one of the most bankable star names in the industry. With back to back hits, Akshay Kumar has fast emerged as the most successful stars. Besides this, looking at Khiladi Kumar’s box office record, another surprising fact comes into view, that of Akshay becoming the first actor to cross Rs. 700 cr. NETT at the Indian box office in a single year.

Rs. 188 cr. expected in final tally] Akshay Kumar has managed to collect a staggering Rs. 700+ cr. in a single year at the box office. Interestingly, with his latest film Good Newwz crossing the Rs. 100 cr. mark within six days of its release, Akshay has catapulted to the top of the chart of actors with the highest collections in a single year. Coming in second is Ranveer Singh with a cumulative total of Rs. 542.46 cr. from two releases in 2018, followed by Salman Khan with Rs. 530.50 cr. from two releases in 2015.

Akshay Kumar Has A Historic Year

Wednesday 08 January 2019 12.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

Akshay Kumar has had a historic year which and is by far the star of the year with no other actor even in sight. The records have tumbled in 2019 with a cumulative total of the for Akshay Kumar starrers to be in the region of 750 crore nett and worldwide it will be the first time ever that an actor will cross 1000 crore.

It does not stop there as the domination continued on satellite as Housefull 4, 2.0 (Hindi) and Kesari all took openings which placed them in the top ten of all time on release. Housefull 4 became that very rare film to top 2 crore impressions on first screening.

There have been many times that an actor has givev 3 hits in a year but there is a big difference between 3 and 4 as that 4 is a rarity in history. Today most actors cant even manage to have four releases let alone 4 HITS. This is where most actors get it wrong as the fact is there are no Mughal E Azams, Sholays or Bahubalis being made in the Hindi film industry which need 200 or 300 days to shoot so its very difficult to understand how actors have just one or two releases a years. Hardly any Hindi films have any real cinematic value today and on average are 50-60 days shoots and there are 365 days in a year.

This is where Akshay Kumar has scored over all the other actors in recent times as most of the others have gone into that zone of less work which puts pressure on the films for big numbers but as Akshay Kumar has more films there is not the pressure of doing 200 crore nett or 300 crore nett each time and he can even get away with a 100 crore nett film as long as the others do the better numbers.

There is no actor even in sight in 2019 after Akshay Kumar as the gap is so big. The next best is probably Hrithik Roshan but even there War was a two hero film and the credit goes 50-50 with Tiger Shroff but the edge for the year going to Hrithik Roshan as his other release Super 30 did better than Tiger Shroff's other release Student Of The Year 2. The other actor in contention for second spot is Ayushmann Khurana with two solo SUPER HIT films Dream Girl and Bala but its actually a fight for 11th spot between Hrithik Roshan and Ayushmann Khurana as Akshay Kumar is actually 1-10 as far as 2019 goes. The records for Akshay Kumar in 2019 are as follows.

India Theatrical

Kesari - 151.87 crore

Mission Mangal - 192.67 crore

Housefull 4 - 205.60 crore

Good Newwz - 200 crore (expected)

TOTAL - 750.14 crore (The previous best was 510 crore by Salman Khan in 2015)

Worldwide Theatrical

Keasri - 203 crore

Mission Mangal - 277 crore

Housefull 4 - 293 crore

Good Newwz - 305 crore (expected)

TOTAL - 1078 crore (The first time that the 1000 crore mark has been broken and its unlikely to be broken many times. The previous best was 968 crore by Salman Khan in 2015)

Actors To Give 4 or more HITS In A Year

Rajesh Khanna (1970, 1971)

Dharmendra (1966, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1987)

Amitabh Bachchan (1977, 1978, 1981)

Akshay Kumar (1994, 2019)

Not much to say here as the other names means you are with the greats of all time and its very unlikely any contemporary of Akshay Kumar or a younger actor will join this elite list while Akshay Kumar may add another year. As mentioned above 3 HITS in a year happens but 4 is a rarity.

Television Ratings

2.0 (Hindi) - 1,65,13,000

Kesari - 1,56,66,000

Mission Mangal - 56,96,000

Housefull 4 - 2,15,42,000

TOTAL - 5,94,17,000 (Almost 6 crore impressions in television premieres in one year which is an insane number and could have been higher if Mission Mangal worked on television. Despite this it will be a huge record for anyone to break.)

The figures say it all and its a phenomenal year from all angles and there will be chances of a repeat next year.
