Happy Birthday Hrithik Roshan - The last Genuine Superstar Of Bollywood

Hrithik Roshan started his tinsel town journey in 2000 with a mega-blockbuster Kaho Na Pyar Hai. The debut film of Hrithik Roshan was a huge craze back then and it nearly made him the superstar. Kaho Na Pyar Hai to date remains the Biggest career hit of Hrithik Roshan. ## After having a dream start to his career, Hrithik Roshan followed that with many Blockbusters. In 2001 Hrithik Roshan teamed up with Shah Rukh Khan And Amitabh Bachchan in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and delivered one of the biggest hits of the decade. Koi Mil Gya became the Blockbuster Highest Grosser of the year in 2003 which was his father's directorial. ## The peak of Hrithik Roshan came in 2006 when he delivered two back-to-back Blockbusters Dhoom2 and Krrish. Hrithik Roshan was the number one star between the period of 2000-2006 if you look from the box office point of view. The shine of potential megastar was taken away with films like Guzarish, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and Kites which were not in the zone of Krrish, Koi Mil Gya, and Dhoom 2. ## The comeback has happened with the Superhero flick Krrish3 which became a Blockbuster. The last huge hit of Hrithik Roshan was War in 2019 which was the highest-grossing film of the year. There are not many complaints as far as box office records are concerned as Hrithik Roshan is the only star after the Khan-Troika who has all kinds of Box office records in his repertoire. From Blockbusters to Highest Grosser of the year. From Opening records to huge mass fan following and whatnot. ## In all-time stars, Hrithik Roshan does remind us of one of those stars who was huge in terms of the magnitude of hits but lacks well behind in terms of volume of successes. Raj Kapoor in the 1950s, Manoj Kumar in the 1960s and 1970s, Sunny Deol in the 90s, and Aamir Khan throughout his career remained that way where the magnitude of hits was massive but a number of successes were less. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk For More Such Updates.

Bollywood Box Office Report: 2021

Mumbai, Jan 7, 2022: The cinemas remained shut for most of 2021 due to Covid 19 but things were back to normal with the release of Sooryavanshi on Diwali 2021. There was a total of 73 films released in 2021 and 32 of them were theatrical releases. Those 32 films have contributed around 550cr collections at the box office which is a fair result as there is something in the bag rather than nothing. These 32 films also include the dubbed version of Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa: The Rise. ## The Biggest plus of the year was the business of Sooryavanshi and dubbed version collections of Pushpa. Released on Diwali, The Akshay Kumar fronted Sooryavanshi was the first film that brought back the audience to the theatres in a big way if we ignore the dubbed version of Pushpa which is a non-Hindi film. With collections of around 196cr - Sooryavanshi has become the Biggest Grosser of the Hindi film industry. ## After Sooryavanshi, the only other film which did decent business was Salman Khan and Ayush Sharma starrer Antim: The Final Truth with collections of around 40 Cr. After this, there was a Tadap that had done okayish business with 26cr collections. Tadap was the launch of Suniel Shetty Son Ahan Shetty and according to that, the business is decent. ## The Biggest disappointments of the year were the rejection of big films like Satyamev Jayate2, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, and 83. While John Abraham starrer Satyamev Jayate2 was expected to put big box office figures as the first part was a huge hit, Ayushman Khurrana's Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui was expected to draw a premium multiplex audience due to its premise but both the films have failed to live onto the expectations. The big Xmas event film of the year starring Ranveer Singh - "83" was expected to challenge the numbers of Sooryavanshi but the film has failed to do that with just 95cr collections till now and nothing is coming from the theatres now as the cinemas across many states got shut. ## There were some Hindi films which released in February and March like Mumbai Saga And Roohi. Roohi had collected around 22crs at the box office while Mumbai Saga did 17cr approx business. ## The Top 5 Highest Hindi Net Grossers Of The Year ## 1. Sooryavanshi: 195.55 Cr ## 2. 83: 95 Cr (running) ## 3. Pushpa(Hindi): 70 Cr (running) ## 4. Antim: 39.57 Cr ## 5. Bell Bottom - 33.31 Cr ## Stay tuned.
