Decade Ender: From Mega-Hits to Rs 150-Crore 'Average' Grossers, Here's How Salman Khan Ruled the Box Office With His Many Hits This Decade!

The much-celebrated and the much-relied upon Salman Khan mania sets the cash registers clinking. Call it good, bad or ugly, or come up with an adjective of your choice or your convenience - you can't deny the fact that Salman rules at the ticket windows and Bhai's latest outing Dabangg 3 is proof. The film not only garnered positive reviews and reactions both from the audiences and the critics, but this Christmas special release also collected a staggering figure at the box office. Salman Khan Introduces a New Girl!

Just a couple of days ago, social media resounded with the trend 'Emperor Of The Decade' for Salman Khan – a trend set off not just by his fans, but other fan clubs too (that of Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Aamir Khan and more) Bigg Boss 13: Salman Khan Cleans the Dirty Toilet, Contestants Apologise (Watch Video)

It's a known fact that when Salman stands on the balcony of his Bandra apartment to greet his fans on his birthday or the occasion of Eid, the humongous crowd that gathers there, literally makes traffic come to a stop. It's the same humongous fan base that has been Bhai's constant that makes him the most bankable superstar of B-town. What sets Salman Khan apart from the others is that he towers head and shoulders above his contemporaries as far as his popularity and stardom are concerned.

Let’s decode the mega-stardom of Salman Khan that cements his position as a bankable star. Salman’s thirty-year long career has seen ups and downs, but every movie of his draws in audiences and gets great openings on the strength of his stardom alone. This works well for the industry where thousands are dependent on movie business for their livelihoods.

You may love or hate the superstar's style of movies, but you certainly can't deny the fact that fans still throng movie theatres to go and watch their favourite demigod. Salman, his fans maintain, can do anything, from comedy to drama and from dance to action. He can pull it off with ease.

Salman Khan is judged on the basis of how much moolah each of his movies rakes in. While for the masses, the star remains a benchmark for mega-hit entertainers, his movies are criticised and even the box-office numbers analysed with so much scrutiny. And yet he emerges as a viable star at the box office every single time.
