Hrithik/akshay also we’re there kind of same tier or one tier below

I remember watching a movie like 99 in the theatre because I was so desperate to watch something in the theatres😆

Yeah I remember.Summer Holidays and no movies.The 1st movie which released after the theatres opened was 99, I went to see that😆

just know this much

Christmas 2008 Ghajini broke all opening records and lifetime records

Due to this strike and release people were impatient that when Saif’s Love Aaj Kal opened in July 2009 it challenged ghajini opening 😆😆 What a time

Honestly Saif Ali Khan was a big Star back then, Him, Hrithik & Akki were only behind SRK & Aamir.

from 2004 - 2009 in six years hrithik had only four releases, 2 were blockbusters, 1 flopped & one did average business. in fact in 6 years hrithik had only one big year (2006), he failed to has a success in other five years.

And their is no way Ajay & Ranbir were bigger than Saif (Salaam Namastey, Hum Tum, Love aaj Kal, Tara rum pum, Race, Parineeta)

Ranbir had only One Hit APKGK

Ajay Biggest hit was Golmaal Return

How can you compare them with Saif? (Hum Tum / Love aaj kal / Salaam Namastey / Race) ???

Saif was consistence he had Hits in every year from 2003 - 2009 apart from 2006 which it self he had Omkara with him.
