Hit Men: The Top 5 heroes who rule the Bollywood

They are the ultimate lean, mean, fighting machines or the masters of mush, melting hearts from 8 to 80. These top 5 heroes seem to have it all, the dancing feet that tap a rhythm to the top of the charts and the intensity that makes the audience watch spellbound.
From all out action, to perfection in execution, each of these men have different strengths that have taken them right to the crore and more league.
From mega grosses to memorable films, they bring it on, house, full-on style. Read on to find out what makes them special.
Shah Rukh Khan
Number of Releases – 53
First Release – Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992)
Movies to look out for – My Name is Khan (Directed by Karan Johar)
RA-1 (Directed by Anubhav Sinha)
Happy New Year (Directed by Farah Khan)
What makes him big: He’s the ultimate romantic hero! When it comes to mush nobody can beat that dreamy look in his eyes and those cute dimples.
Initially written off as an average actor, he came into his own when he started drifting away from the loverboy image. He won accolades for Chak de India and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, where he dared to be different. SRK is one of the few actors in B-Town who delivers one hit every year.
He also triggered off the six-pack abs ka bukhaar. After Om Shanti Om, the rest of B-Town (and industrialists and socialites) getting fitter bodies too.
Aamir Khan
Number of Releases – 36
First Release – Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988)
Movies to look out for – Three Idiots (Directed by Raju Hirani)
Dhobi Ghaat (Directed by Kiran Rao)
What we like:
This Khan believes in being quality, rather than quanity. The current king of the box office after Ghajini, which is the biggest grosser in Hindi cinema yet. What sets Aamir apart from the clan that he has never been slotted.
He can play a college boy (Dil Chahta Hai) and village boy (Lagaan) with as much ease. Also he has an such an understanding of script and screenplay that even average directors have made their career best films with him.
Case in point (RGV in Rangeela, John Mathan in Sarfarosh and Rakeysh Mehra in Rang De Basanti. Aamir has the rare ability to get under the skin of a role and Mr. Perfectionist built a great body for Ghajini in just a few months.
His role is always sharply etched and played with a finesse that defines this awesome performer. And then he turned director and wowed us again.
Salman Khan
Number of Releases – 60
First Release – Biwi Ho Toh Aisi (1988)
Movies to look out for – Wanted (Directed by Prabhudeva)
Main Aur Mrs. Khanna (Directed by Prem Soni)
London Dreams (directed by Vipul Shah)
What we like:
Salman is erratic, eccentric and egocentric but he is the darling of the masses. No amount of his controversies has affected his popularity.
Though his last films (Yuuvraaj, God Tussi Great Ho, Heroes) didn’t do well, the crowds still flock to the theatres to watch his films. This Bad Boy of B-Town will remain the heartthrob of the masses for the good work he does. Apart from his charity, he is known to be helpful to newcomers a chance.
His next release Wanted is touted as the Ghajini in Salman’s career and is being talked about as a film which will have one of the biggest openings this year.
Akshay Kumar
 Number of Releases – 82 First Release – Saugandh (1991) Movies to look out for – Blue (Directed by Anthony D’Suza) De Dana Dan (Directed by Priyadarshan) Action Replay (Directed by Vipul Shah) What we like:
The good old Punjabi munda, with his fair skin and good looks. Akshay Kumar is the fittest actor in B-Town. The ultimate action hero. He is forever leaping off an aircrafts and buildings.
This ladies man along the way AK moved from action to comedy and managed to rule the roost.
2007 was the luckiest year in Akshay Kumar’s career. He had four hit movies back to back – Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome.
Singh is King was the third highest grosser in Bollywood. Khiladi Kumar is still a huge draw at the BO and he has a huge female fan following from 16 to 60, they are all reeling under the AK magic.
Hrithik Roshan
Number of Releases – 14 First Release – Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000) Movies to look out for – Kites (Directed by Anurag Basu) Guzaarish (Directed by – Sanjay Leela Bhansali)
What we like: However popular Aamir, Akshay or Salman can be at the BO it’s difficult to beat the charisma and stardom of Hrithik Roshan.
Though his films have become few and far between in the last couple of years Hrithik remains in the top five as he is a fabulous performer and lets not forget his dancing skills and the stunning good looks.

He became an overnight sensation with his very first film. A perfectionist, he is always pushing himself and that’s going to be tough for anyone who tries to compete with Roshan Jr.
