With the newest biggie, the Bollywood superstar also has a likelihood to surpass Shah Rukh Khan within the Koimoi Star Rating. Keep reading for an in depth report!
What’s Koimoi Star Rating?
For the unversed, in Koimoi’s Star Power Index, aka Star Rating, actors are allotted points based on their movies (Bollywood/Hindi) within the coveted box-office clubs (based on Indian collections only), equivalent to the 100 crore club, 200 crore club, and more. For instance, 100 points are given for a movie within the 100 crore club, and so forth. 50 points each are given for a movie in the highest 10 overseas grossers of Bollywood.
Akshay Kumar can surpass Shah Rukh Khan in Koimoi Star Rating
Currently, Akshay Kumar is in fourth position within the Koimoi Star Rating, with 2200 points. Being a family entertainer by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is anticipated to comfortably enter the 100 crore club on the Indian box office. If word of mouth is sweet amongst moviegoers, it also has a shot on the 200-crore net milestone.
If Bhooth Bangla scores 200 crore net in India, Akshay Kumar will likely be credited with 200 points, pushing his tally to 2400 points. With this, he can easily overtake Shah Rukh Khan (2350 points) to grab the third position within the Star Rating.
Here’s the breakdown of Akshay’s 2200 points:
- 16 movies within the 100 crore club (Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, Holiday, Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Gold, 2.0’s Hindi version, Kesari, Sooryavanshi, OMG 2, Sky Force, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3) = 1600 points
- 3 movies within the 200 crore club (Mission Mangal, Housefull 4, and Good Newwz) = 600 points
