3. Ajay Devgn Ajay Devgn rounds out the top three, with his films

Shaitaan collecting ₹680 crores at the box office. His status as a Bollywood action hero, combined with his ability to take on more nuanced roles with movies like
Maidaan, has cemented his position as one of the industry's top actors.
‘This year has been a leveler’ Film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi calls this year a “serious leveler”. He explains, “The notion of stardom has literally been redefined. The perfect example is Ajay Devgn, who turned up at the box office the maximum times this year. He opened at 40 plus crores with Singam 3, at about 18 crores with Shaitan, at about 3 and a half - 4 crores with Maidaan and then a little over 1 crore on day one with Auron me Kahan Dam Tha. It's not like his stardom has been challenged or diminished but this year has literally shown that irrespective of how big a star you are, ultimately you can only be the propeller. The spaceship is still going to be the content of the film. It's also shown that the biggest superstar, irrespective of the cast of a film is the storytelling and nothing supersedes that.”
