They arrived and took over. While some of them managed to stay on top for an extended period of time, others were only able to achieve success once. Yes, the actors in question had breakout performances in their very first films. The stars’ performance in the first movie cemented their place in our hearts, regardless of whether they were able to maintain that success.Dhadak, starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, is on track to become a Hindi Super Hit movie starring newcomers, so we thought it would be fun to look back at some celebrities who have accomplished something similar. Here is a list of celebrities whose first box office-grossing films.
Aamir Khan – Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988)
Box-office collection – Rs 5 crore
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak is probably one of the best young love stories in Bollywood. You could tell that Aamir was born to act from the moment he appeared in his first movie. It is a modest, albeit slightly dramatised, adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The chemistry between the two leads is what made this movie work, despite the fact that there have been many Bollywood adaptations of this story. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak is without a doubt a Hindi Super Hit movie after grossing over Rs 5 crore. In fact, it came in third place behind Tezaab and Shahenshah in terms of box office revenue for the year.
Salman Khan and Bhagyashree – Maine Pyaar Kiya (1989)
Box-office collection – Rs 15 crore
Salman Khan appeared in Biwi Ho Toh Aisi, but Maine Pyar Kiya marked the beginning of his career as a true leading man. When Maine Pyar Kiya was released, multi-starrers were the most reliable bet at the box office. Although the story in Maine Pyar Kiya may be as old as the hills, the way it was presented made it easy to empathise with and connect with the main characters. Additionally, it went against the romantic formula that Bollywood storytellers at the time were using. It did not follow the traditional path of love at first sight but rather showed a lovely friendship developing into love. Salman Khan was unquestionably overnighted into a youth icon by this movie.The movie earned Rs. 15 crore in total, making it the biggest Hindi super hit of the year.
Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel – Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000)
Box-office collection – Rs 45 crore
Hrithik Roshan is without a doubt one of Bollywood’s top actors, and he has held that position for a long time in a business that is dominated by the Khan and Kapoor families. His first movie, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, ended up being the year’s second-highest earner. Following the release of the movie, Hrithik rose to fame, and the media dubbed his successful debut as “Hrithik Mania” because he was the subject of all conversation. With approximately Rs. 45 crore in box office receipts, it rose to the position of second-biggest Hindi Superhit movie that year.One of the most prosperous debuts in the annals of not only Indian cinema but also the entire world, Hrithik’s debut was not only a Hindi Superhit movie. As a result of the 420 awards it received across a variety of ceremonies and categories, his first film was recognised by Guinness World Records in 2002 as having won the most awards of any feature film. That is a seriously impressive way to announce your entry into the field!
Imran Khan – Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008)
Box-office collection – Rs 55 crore
The plot of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na focused on the friendship between Jai (Imran Khan) and Aditi (Genelia D’Souza). Despite the fact that they were always very close, they never felt like anything more than close friends. Since they are so familiar with one another’s preferences, they decide to choose the ideal partner for each other. However, as the proverb goes, “You never value what you have until it’s gone.” This also applied to the movie. Jai and Aditi realised they don’t have the same connection once they started dating other people. The plot follows them as they navigate college life, which allowed the movie to connect with the younger audience.Given that he is Aamir Khan’s nephew, Imran Khan was already subject to high expectations prior to the film’s release. However, he exceeded those hopes with the movie, which went on to become another Hindi Superhit movie with newcomers.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam – Vicky Donor (2012)
Box-office collection – Rs 41 crore
Typically, newcomers choose projects that employ tried-and-true techniques from blockbuster Hindi films. But with Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam, this wasn’t the case. Vicky Arora (Ayushmann Khurrana), a typical Delhi boy whose only concern is making money—quickly—was the subject of the movie Vicky Donor. Vicky succumbs to the temptation of becoming a sperm donor after being persuaded by Dr. Baldev Chadda (Annu Kapoor). Even many seasoned actors would have hesitated to accept the role of Vicky Donor. However, the fact that Ayushmann and Yami took such a big risk showed that they had enough faith in their work to not back down because of how the audience would respond.Despite its not particularly commercial theme, Vicky Donor was a commercially successful entertainer thanks to its comedy, romance, drama, and catchy songs. Vicky Donor did demonstrate that Ayushmann is a productive entertainer, though! (intentional pun).
