Everyone’s brother i.e. Salman Khan has been ruling Bollywood for 37 years. In the 90s and 2000s, he ruled Bollywood but he also saw many ups and downs in his career.

Even today, actors rule the box office with their powerful films. But post Covid, there was a slight decline in his success rate where Bhaijaan’s films did not get that much love. But despite this the actor is at number 1 position in the star ranking.

Bhaijaan’s reign continues in star rankings
Koimoi Star Power Index has shared its report. On the occasion of the actor’s birthday, it was announced by the media portal that Salman Khan has maintained his place at number 1 position in terms of star ranking.

Bhaijaan has been ruling the box office for a long time. Even though his films stopped performing at the box office after the pandemic, there are many movies which further strengthen Bhaijaan’s star power by joining the Rs 100,200 and Rs 300 crore club.

• There are 11 films of Salman Khan which have entered the Rs 100 crore club. This list includes films like ‘Dabangg’, ‘Ready’, ‘Bodyguard’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Dabangg 2’, ‘Jai Ho’, ‘Tubelight’, ‘Race 3’, ‘Dabangg 3’, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ and ‘Sikander’.
• Not only this, there are 4 such films of Salman Khan which had cleared the way for his entry into the Rs 200 crore club. This list includes ‘Kick’, ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, ‘Bharat’ and ‘Tiger 3’.
• Now talking about Rs 300 crore club, there are only three films in it. ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, ‘Sultan’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ earned huge profits at the box office and received a lot of applause from all over the world.

According to the report of Koimoi, these are some figures which give Salman Khan the first position in the category of star ranking. It is clear from these figures that no matter what the generation is, only Bhaijaan rules in everyone’s heart.

Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna’s horror-comedy film ‘Thamaa’ had a bang at the box office. For two weeks, the film consistently performed well and maintained its hold. ‘Thama’, which was already competing with ‘Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat’, again got a setback from many films including the newly released Baahubali The Epic and its pace at the ticket window started slowing down. Now it has entered the third week. Let us know here how much collection has ‘Thama’ made on the 17th day of its release i.e. third Thursday?

How much did ‘Thama’ earn on the 17th day?
Diwali released romantic horror comedy thriller ‘Thama’ has created a lot of buzz at the box office. This film of Maddock’s horror universe scared the audience and made them laugh a lot in the theaters and hence the audience kept crowding in the theaters to watch it for two weeks.

One of them is the blockbuster film Stree of Maddock’s horror universe and the other is Sikandar. Let us tell you that ‘Thama’ has earned approximately Rs 127 crores and once it earns Rs 3 crore more, it will beat Stree’s net lifetime collection in India of Rs 129.83 crores.

Bollywood film ‘Thama’ is making records at the box office.

‘Thama’ defeated ‘Sikandar’
‘Thama’ has broken the record of Salman Khan’s film ‘Sikander’ with worldwide collection of Rs 191 crore. ‘Sikander’ had earned Rs 184.6 crore at the worldwide box office. With this collection, this film was the 7th highest grossing film of the year 2025 till now. But now ‘Thama’ has taken this title.

‘Raid 2’ now on the target of ‘Thama’
The next target of ‘Thama’ is ‘Raid 2’. Ajay Devgan starrer this film had collected Rs 237 crore at the worldwide box office. ‘Raid 2’ is the 6th highest grossing film of the year 2025.
