What is Koimoi Star Ranking?
For the unversed, in Koimoi’s Star Power Index, aka Star Ranking, actors are allotted points based on their films (Bollywood/Hindi) in the coveted box-office clubs (based on Indian collections only), such as the 100 crore club, 200 crore club, and more. For example, 100 points are given for a film in the 100 crore club, and so on. 50 points each are given for a film in the top 10 overseas grossers of Bollywood.
Akshay Kumar can surpass Shah Rukh Khan in Koimoi Star Ranking
Currently, Akshay Kumar is in fourth position in the Koimoi Star Ranking, with 2200 points. Being a family entertainer by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is expected to comfortably enter the 100 crore club at the Indian box office. If word of mouth is good among moviegoers, it also has a shot at the 200-crore net milestone.
If Bhooth Bangla scores 200 crore net in India, Akshay Kumar will be credited with 200 points, pushing his tally to 2400 points. With this, he can easily overtake Shah Rukh Khan (2350 points) to grab the third position in the Star Ranking.
Here’s the breakdown of Akshay’s 2200 points:
- 16 films in the 100 crore club (Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore, Holiday, Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Gold, 2.0’s Hindi version, Kesari, Sooryavanshi, OMG 2, Sky Force, Housefull 5, and Jolly LLB 3) = 1600 points
