1) Aamir Khan — Yup..it had to happen. For all these years, you saw Aamir in this list somewhere between 2 and 5 and wondered, will he ever reach number 1? Yes he has. After the dynamite directorial debut of TZP and following it with soon to be all time blockbuster JTYJN, Aamir Khan has proved that he can do it all. Next up is Ghajini and we know what that one will be like…
2) Shah Rukh Khan —- He is responsible for the only YRF hit lately—make that a blockbuster hit. With Om Shanti Om, he broke all records but the real test will come with Billo Barber which is being produced by Red Chillies and stars Ifran Khan.
3) Hrithik Roshan - Jodha Akbar proved once and for all that he does not need Papa Roshan or out and out action movie to prove he belongs to the top league. In Productin KITES wouldn’t release until next year.
4) Akshay Kumar - The Hitmaker keeps em coming. Not counting Tashan (which would have probably made a lot of money if not for the multiplex issue), Kumar has had a dream run of late. Sing is Kinng is on the horizon and should open Biggg to be followed by CCTC and Kambaqt Ishq.
5) Shahd Kapoor - It started with Vivah, the movie that no one thought would be a smash hit..then he followed it with Jab We Met, another Super Hit. Now it looks like he has a third one in a row with Kismet Konnection. It seems that Shahid Kapoor has replaced Saif Ali Khan as the bollywood’s ultimate metrosexual hero.
6) Abishekh Bachchan - Sarkar Raj did not exactly have the cash registers ringing after the debacle of JBJ last year. Upcoming special effects laden DRONA will be a major test to see if Bachchan Jr. can get back on the hit train.
7) Salman Khan - Partner was a superhit but he also had duds like Salaam-e-Ishq, Babul, and Marigold. He has some potential superhits on the way in Wanted and Yuvraaj but with Salman, you never know what will happen.
8 ) Saif Ali Khan - Even though RACE was a major money spinner, it’s been a disappointing ride of late for Saif. The latest setback was Thoda Pyar thoda Magic which had a hit director and cute kids but failed miserably at the box office. Nothing big on the horizon.
9) Emran Hashmi - Love him or hate him but Jannat is one of only four movies this year to be called a hit. He was found a nice little niche with the Bhatt Camp for some very strange reason, his movies always have one or two chart busting song.
10) Kareena Kapoor — the only female of the list. After the smashing success of Jab We Met, Kapoor is arguably the highest paid actress. Upcoming movies include Golmaal Returns, Millenge Millenge and Kambhaqt Ishq.
