The Khans rule the box office like no other in the industry; Here's all the proof you need!

Once again, Salman Khan has proven that the popularity and stardom that a Khan enjoys in the country cannot be compared to anyone in the industry. Salman Khan starrer ‘Bharat’ has charted a new number record with its first-day collections at the box office as the highest ever of all times for the superstar. The magic of Saman Khan has pulled out massive numbers of Rs 42.3 crores on its first day itself beating his own record of 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', despite the India vs South Africa cricket World Cup match as well. Aamir Khan’s 'Thugs of Hindostan' marked a record highest first-day moolah of Rs 50 crores at the box office, which stays untouched by any of the other actors, even though it has been one year already. Even Ranveer Singh’s 'Simmba' with the powerpack of Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty and ‘best debutant’ Sara Ali Khan, the box office collections were mere Rs 20.72 crores which inched closer to only 50 percent of the total of Salman’s 'Bharat'. Similarly, Akshay Kumar’s 'Kesari' and 'Padman' charted 21.06 and 10.26 crores, respectively at the box office despite the uproar of the season- still way beyond the numbers of the Khans! It is only Tiger Shroff amongst the new league of actors who has come to the greener side of the grass with 'Baaghi' which performed better than any other contemporary with a box office collection of 25.10 crores. Even though Tiger was closer to the Khans, yet he could not close down to any of the Khan numbers. Talking about the reach that the actors hold, Akshay’s reach is only limited to the six metro cities of the country while the Khans posses a deeper penetration along the length and breadth of the country. Only Tiger Shroff has managed to go beyond the actors amongst the club of contemporary actors, leaving back even the stalwarts like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan. Salman Khan’s Bharat minting big record at the box office that only goes on to prove how much the country loves the Khans!
