Aamir Khan – The Greatest Superstar of All Time

01/13/20179

Over a 100 years have gone by since Indian Cinema came into existence. We’ve seen an umpteen number of superstars who’ve graced the silver screen with their everlasting charm and magnificence. Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Kamal Hassan, Rajnikant to name a few. They’ve given numerous hits, timeless classics in their hay days. But, there is one name that just stands out – AAMIR KHAN. The Perfectionist of Hindi Cinema. The pioneer of sensible, hard-hitting and most adored Indian films worldwide.
This article is not to degrade any other superstar that belongs to the Aamir Khan era, but to showcase why Aamir Khan is not just 2 steps, but 10 steps ahead of his compatriots not just at the ticket windows, but also in terms of filmmaking capabilities.

Aamir made his mainstream debut in 1988 with Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The film went on to become a Blockbuster at the Box Office and hence, Aamir became a household name. Next year came Raakh, an art film that didn’t do too well commercially but Aamir’s performance garnered unanimous applause from the National Film Award Jury.
Then came Dil, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, Rangeela, Sarfarosh, Raja Hindustani, Ghulam, Ishq in the 1990s that were not only huge commercial hits, but also garnered critical appraise from the industryand critics alike. Needless to say, Aamir also made a few mistakes in terms of script selection such as Tum Mere Ho, Jawani Zindabad, Deewana Mujhsa Nahi, Parampara etc. that didn’t give returns at the box office. Being the true virtuoso that he is, he learned from those mistakes and soon everything changed.
The best was yet to come from Aamir Khan. Under his own name, he started a production house Aamir Khan Productions. The first film under the banner was none other than Lagaan:Once Upon A Time In India. Everyone close to Aamir Khan asked him not to produce it and called it the gravest mistake of his career if he did so. The risk-taker that he is, Aamir went ahead with it, and the rest as they say, is history. The film became a huge hit at the box office, won numerous awards worldwide, none bigger than a nomination in the last 5 of the Academy Awards(Oscars). That same year came Dil Chahta Hai, a cult classic film on friendship and love that changed the dynamics of youth-centric films in India.
He took a 3 year sabbatical from silver screen post DCH due to personal anomalies.
In 2005, Aamir came up with a period drama Mangal Pandey. The film garnered critical acclaim, broke all opening and weekend records in terms of money earned, almost entirely due to his presence, but ultimately flopped due to a higher than normal budget but still went onto be one of the biggest grossers of the year.
After MP, there’s been no looking back for Aamir. Critical acclaim, national awards, box office records, audience love and trust, worldwide popularity, he gained it all, way more than his current contemporaries namely Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.
In versatility and dedication towards his craft, there is no adversary for Aamir Khan in the Indian film industry, except for maybe Kamal Hassan. From playing a village boy in Lagaan who speaks Awadhi to an urban high class guy in Dil Chahta Hai in the same year; from a teacher in Taare Zameen Par to a college student in 3 Idiots; from an alien in PK who speaks Bhojpuri to an old distressed fat as hell Haryanvi Jatt father of 2 grown up daughters, Aamir Khan has done it all, and he would repeat it all again if the script demands it.

Other stars were confined to their pram of typical genre. Aamir Khan attempted different stuff each time & came out with flying colours! He takes break when he desires, does offbeat films when he wants to, he goes commercial when his heart says- he’s his own person!
Also, who can forget the infamous blank cheque offered to him by YRF after 3 Idiots’ success for signing 3 films? At the peak of his career and stardom, Aamir rejected blatantly!
Aamir Khan is not just a role model, but an afflatus for younger generations to give it their all in whichever field they wish to succeed in. If one delves in, could write a thesis on how hard he worked for Dangal.
“Call me Mr. Passionate, not Mr. Perfectionist“, he once said.
To keep it simple, we’ll highlight below some parameters that prove why AAMIR KHAN is the greatest Indian megastar ever ahead of his two major rivals – Salman and Shah Rukh. (Aamir has done only 40 films in a lead role. Extended cameos of all actors have been excluded)
Total films:
Aamir – 40
SRK – 57
Salman – 74

[DOMESTIC BOX OFFICE]
Last 5 Films Total Collection & Average:
Aamir Khan – 1322 crore (264.4cr per film)
Salman Khan – 1125 crore (225cr per film)
Shah Rukh Khan – 678 crore (135.6cr per film)

Lifetime Total Collections & Average:
Aamir Khan – 1934 crore (48.34cr per film)
Salman Khan – 2867 crore (38.74cr per film)
Shah Rukh Khan – 2012 crore (35.29cr per film)

Success Ratio & Average Per Film Decade Wise
2000-09
Aamir Khan – ( Average per film 65cr ) (Success ratio 78℅)
Salman Khan- ( Average per film 18cr) (Succes ratio 31℅)
Shah Rukh Khan – ( Average per film 32cr) (Success ratio 67%)

2010 – 2016
Aamir Khan– (Average Per film 280cr) (Success ratio 100%)
Salman Khan- ( Average Per film 179cr) ( Succes ratio 91℅)
Shah Rukh Khan – ( Average Per film 137cr) ( Success ratio 89℅)

Some remarks:

1. When SRK& Salman tried their hands to break their lover boy & masala hero images respectively with Ashoka, Paheli, Swades, Fan, Khamoshi,Kyun ki, London Dreams, MAMK, Jai Ho to name a few, their movies tumbled unceremoniously at the ticket window.
2. The Prominent force behind Aamir‘s Success is his uncanny, and immaculate sense of script. His success ratio is higher than not only his contemporaries but also the legends of cinema like DilipKumar, Raj Kapoor, Amitabh Bacchhan & Rajesh
3. Aamir’sNon-commercial/niche films are huge hits at Box-office for ex Sarfrosh, Rangeela, Ghulam, Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par & now DANGAL ( Biggest of Indian cinema infact). That’s why he is called the game changer of Indian Cinema & Legendary Filmmaker K.Balachandra called him Don Bradman of Indian cinema.

SATYAMEV JAYATE- A social revolution
Who isn’t aware about SMJ? A social drama hosted by Aamir Khan, produced by AKP is one of the most successful TV shows of all time in India. It was aired on 12 channels at the same time, and generated record TRPS, way more than shows like BiggBoss or KBC ever generated.

The show was lauded by International Media across continents, with Aamir getting accolades for being a visionary and a social worker of the highest order.
AAMIR KHAN PRODUCTIONS
A production house that has a 100% success ratio in terms of quality and box office. Even art house films like Dhobi Ghat and Peepli Live became Above Average and Hit respectively because of just one name Aamir Khan.
DECODING DANGAL SUCCESS
This year, a film released that had:

1. No known lead actress
2. No brand/Franchise
3. No known director.
4. No Chartbuster/Item Songs
5. No known Supporting Actor
6. No commercial elements

In addition to that:

1. Rampant effect of demonitization at smaller centres.
2. Old graying fat hero.
3. Boycott campaign by a fringe group.
4. No promotion on Television or City Tours.
5. No extra benefit of Holidays as Christmas and New Year fell on Sunday.
6. Loss of novelty as a wrestling film had already released 6 months back.

Just one name AAMIR KHAN

Result?

1. An almost ₹30 crore opening(2nd highest non holiday opening ever)
2. Biggest 1st Weekend Ever.
3. Highest Single Day in the history of Hindi Cinema.
4. Fastest to 300 crore club(13 days)
5. All Time Blockbuster.
6. All Time Grosser.
7. Most watched film in theatres in the last 15 years.
8. Could cross 4 crore Footfalls including the regional version.

Now, let us compare this to Sultan that had a leading 300 crore club actress, YRF Brand, Chartbuster Songs, a director who has given hits with Imran Khan and Arjun Kapoor and most importantly, a 5 Day Weekend with 1 partial and 1 national holiday, and certainly no demonitization hangover. End Total = ₹300 crore in 35 days.
AAMIR KHAN alone = ₹360 crore in 21 days and counting.
This is whom you call a damn CROWD PULLER! THE BIGGEST IN INDIA!
The above records, the fan following, the respect, the trust and the social aspects of being a concerned Indian citizen, point only to one fact AAMIR KHAN IS THE GREATEST INDIAN MEGASTAR EVER. AND A GENIUS. Period.
Also, we’ve always stressed that Aamir Khan is Aamir Khan’s competition. Rest of the actors just battle among themselves for that 2nd position. In other words, #1 is temporary and replaceable in years to come but Aamir Khan’s legacy is permanent and irreplaceable.
