Mohanlal, Amitab Bachan might be one of the best actors, but when it comes to box office draw and collections, its only the current Hindi, Tamil and Telugu stars who acceed to the top. Here is the top 10 (based on their recent films' BO performances).
1. Rajnikanth (Tamil) -> His latest film SIVAJI has collected close to 150cr share worldwide, making it the biggest blockbuster in the history of indian films, even beating SHOLAY by a close margin though. His previous film Chandramukhi amazed a record 115 crores share. Undisputed king of South India and Overseas.
2. Shah Rukh Khan (hindi) -> Whether he acts or not, whether people like his mannerism or not, his movies sell, and they sell big. His latest OSO, sold for 75 crores is a testimony to his box office draw. Overseas, he is simply the king, second only to Rajni. Even an avg movie of his like Don collected more than 70 crores worldwide.
3. Chiranjeev (Telugu) -> Four of his recent movies in the last 6 years, netted more than 32 crores (Indra, Tagore, Shankardada MBBS, Stalin), with his movie Tagore celebrating 100 days in about 190 theatres. Indian Record !!!! Andhra's No 1 by miles.

The biggest HIT of all-time is SHOLAY. inflation adjusted figures show that it has made over 200crores from india alone.
SIVAJI is nowhere NEAR these figures. Even today the biggest HIT in raw figures has been DHOOM2 which has made much more money that sivaji. It has made around 150crores worldwide.
Sivaji figures are around 60 crores worldwide. all other figures that are said about sivaji are just media lies by tamils.

4. Hrithick Roshan (Hindi) --> Very stylish, extremely good looking, dashing debonair, with a perfect macho body and dance movements, along with his fathers support swept him to stardom. A highly reliable star, who gave one of the biggest hits of bollywood with Dhoom 2 and Krish. His popularity in south is also unmathched, as his filsm get dubbed into tamil/telugu often.
5. Vijay (Tamil) --> he may not have done experiments. he may not even know how to act in certain scenarios. But he knows his strengths ie dance, comedy and plays accordingly. He is the undisputed youth icon of tamil nadu and has the second highest fan following among tamil stars after rajnikanth. His movies open to an earth-shaterring number, and collections galore. His biggest hit Ghilli, collected a record 50 crores at the box office. Extremely popular in Overseas and Kerala, apart from Tamil Nadu.
6. Mahesh babu (Telugu) -> upcoming superstar of telugu industry, his movie POKIRI shattered telugu box office and created a record 48-50 crores net share, thereby becoming the highest telugu grosser in its 75 yrs history. His latest ATHIDI opened to a mind-blowing opening, cashing in 22cr 1st week share. He is second only to chiru in terms of box office, potential superstar in the making.

Spots 7-10 are extremly difficult to accertain as they change with films often. However some of the stars who could fit into those slots:
Aamir Khan (Hindi) Kamal Hassan(Tamil) Jr NTR (Telugu) Ajith (Tamil) Vikram (Tamil) Akshay kumar (Hindi) Shivraj Kumar(Kannada)
Please note : this list is based on box office stamina, not based on acting talents. Many tremendous actors of other languages fail to make it, not because of their acting, but because of their language's limited reach (like bengali, malayalam, kannada, marathi etc)
what the hell are u all putting, who the hell will say whether Deepika will be no 1 or not, just seeing one film, and if i am not wrong i think film has not yet been released.
