SRK VS AAMIR KHAN


The eternal comparison between King Khan and "Ace" Khan have been flooding every discussion forum and community on Orkut. While fans of both swear by their respective superstars, this is a debate that just seems to have no end!

Or does it?

List based on authentic collections and box office data alone from reliable sources, that tracks the success stories of both Khans, in a career spanning around two decades, who is it that has captured the audience all over? Who is it, that is the commerically "successful" actor all over?

Ghajini might have turned out to be the highest grosser in Indian cinema and a monstrous hit for Aamir Khan, but the total package speaks an entirely different story.

Here is a look at the success story of both the Khans, based on the box office verdict alone!

The verdict is clearly out , based on box office collections and commerical success alone, there is only one true Badshah of Bollywood, none other than King Khan SRK himself!

And as a prominent fan and logical analyst of the community, Zaphod correctly pointed out if overseas collections are taken into account ,SRK could very well be sleeping for the next five years and still wind up on top.

The debate for the bigger superstar will always go on, but as far as hard facts and collection figures go, King Khan is easily poised at the top by a long shot.
