Will Shahrukh Khan Stop Salman Khan Box Office Monopoly? Aamir Khan & Ajay Devgn has also marched ahead of SRK.

With only Don 2 to be released which is around the corner and which is also one of the most awaited movie of the year without doubt, an question arises to the mind of moviegoers. Will Shahrukh Khan can stop the monopoly of Salman Khan at the Box Office. Important to note that even Aamir Khan & Ajay Devgn has taken huge lead in terms of Box Office Report.
*Analysis below are just Indian Theatrical revenue. Other avenues such as Satellite, Music are not considered. Those numbers will add to benefit of makers only, not to the distributors and exhibitors. 

For last two years continuously Salman Khan has ruled Indian Box Office and its really hats off to him for such consistency. No doubt Aamir Khan 3 Idiots still is the biggest grosser ever all India, but if we check consistency Salman Khan has surged ahead leaps and bound of all his contemporaries in last 2 years. Salman's last 4 movies has grossed a nett figure of around 452 crore (Veer - 38, Dabangg - 145, Ready -121 & Bodyguard - 148) from an investment of 200 crores giving Bollywood the 2nd highest return of investment (ROI) and also highest gross figures. Distributor share (DS) of these 4 films are above 230 crores with ROI of 115%.
Aamir Khan's only 2 movies released during this time that is 3 Idiots and Dhobi Ghat which grossed a nett total of 217 crores with an investment of 65 crores giving Bollywood highest ROI. DS of these films are around 107 crores with ROI of 164%.

  1. Ajay Devgn had 3 releases during this time Golmaal3, Singham & Rascals which grossed a nett total of 240 crores from an investment of 125 crores. DS of these films are around 123 crores with ROI of 98.4%.

So, where 'King' Shahrukh Khan stands in between. SRK's during this time 2 movies were released in My Name is Khan and Ra.One which nett gross was around 195 crores from an investment of 210 crores. DS of these films are around 95 crores with ROI of 45% only. So, with Don 2 lets see how much SRK can salvage pride, as Salman Khan, Aamirkhan&AjayDevgn are undisputed TOP 3 at the moment.
