It was not just the superstars who laid their stake
on the box office throne in 2017, but also some new faces and performers who
found a comfortable place – actors who have so far remained under the shadows
of the Khans and Kapoors. To begin with, 2017 will go down in the history for
being the year of the talented Rajkummar Rao. The actor had five releases, one
special appearance and a blockbuster web-series. In short, he kept arriving on
our screens almost every month, in one way or the other. We also had Irrfan
Khan ruling our hearts. Keeping these two aside, there were even Akshay Kumar, Ajay
Devgn and Varun
Dhawan.
Here is a list of best actors of 2017, who did some
great work, and ensured the audience has a good time at the theaters.
(The order of actors is not as per ranking)
1. Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgn. He proved why he is an actor of all
seasons. After a heist period action thriller Baadshaho, he hopped onto his
favourite comedy franchise with Golmaal Again. While Ajay was one of the most
memorable part of the otherwise mediocre Baadshaho, he rose to the occasion
with the latter. Rs 300 crore and still counting, Golmaal Again is not
just the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2017, but also one of the best
horror comedies seen in recent times.
2. Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar. Not just Akshay’s film is called Gold,
whatever he touches actually turns gold! Like a disciplined man, he does his
work well, arrives at the theaters with well timed films throughout the year
and sweeps through the ticketing windows and the hearts of the audience.
Akshay’s recent switch to only doing content driven cinema is only getting him
all the love. And his two films this year – Jolly LLB 2 and Toilet: Ek Prem
Katha were well crafted. While the former was a satire on India
3. Ayushmann Khurrana
Ayushmann Khurrana. He has become the most lovable
boy-next-door. Nobody plays the small town guy better than Ayushmann. And he
proved that not once, but twice in his films Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal
Savdhan this year. Though his Meri Pyaari Bindu tanked, but his performance was
appreciated there too. 2017 was a fruitful year for this actor-singer and we
are only looking for better stuff next year.
Hrithik Roshan. Alongside SRK, even Hrithik opened
2017 decently well. His Kaabil was more performance based than his typical
dance and good looks. The actor’s blind act in this revenge drama surely
faded the bad memories of his Mohenjo Daro from last year.
5. Irrfan Khan
Irrfan Khan. The way he sold sarees at a Chandi
Chowk market in the opening sequence of Hindi Medium proved why we call him one
of the best in Bollywood. Irrfan is like an old wine, getting better with age.
At 50, he gave two of the most delectable films this year – Hindi Medium
and Qarib Qarib Singlle. Though both movies had their own problems, but that
didn’t stop Irrfan from delivering what we call a natural performance. He
prefers playing characters who might just cross your path at any juncture of
life!
6. Prabhas
Prabhas. This list would’ve started with his name if
Baahubali: The Conclusion was made in Bollywood. But despite it being dubbed in
Hindi for this side of the audience, Prabhas cannot be left out of this list
either. Hence, a special mention to the Telugu actor who was a one man army as
Amarendra Baahubali. Let’s just see it this way – Prabhas spoke Hindi (though
the dubbed voice was of actor Sharad Kelkar) and we were more than happy to
believe he was a part of Bollywood for once. After all he kept the flag of
Mahishmati flying at the box office for months!
7. Rajkummar Rao
Rajkummar Rao. The list has to start with him. We,
as fans, have seen the rise and rise of Rajkummar. He has just arrived, and he
is here to stay. Rajkummar began 2017 with a power packed performance in
Trapped. Then the 33-year-old actor left us shocked playing a 324-year-old man
in Raabta. We agree that he was the most memorable part about this otherwise
unsuccessful film. He followed it with one of the best characters of 2017 –
Pritam Vidrohi in Bareilly Ki Barfi. His Behen Hogi Teri and Shaadi Mein Zaroor
Aana showed him in a romantic avatar. His Newton
is India
8. Salman Khan
Salman Khan. He doesn’t need to try hard. His sheer
presence in a film is enough to push it beyond Rs 200 crore or even more.
Salman mostly prefers to give one film a year. But 2017 was different and his
two movies were also as different as chalk and cheese. While the first one –
Tubelight had him play a boy who is slow, Tiger Zinda Hai brought him back to
flexing muscles, romancing his favourite onscreen and off-screen lady – Katrina Kaif, and do
action à la Rambo. Tubelight might have been a disappointment but his
massive fan base was in awe of his innocent and honest performance. As Tiger,
his roar can already be heard at the box office!
9. Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan. gave us the first official hit of
2017 with crime action film Raees. Playing bootlegger Raees Alam, King Khan
delivered a convincing performance after a long time. He tried to follow it up
with his next film Jab Harry Met Sejal but this time it fell miserably. His
little signature moments in this Imtiaz Ali film were the only
relief. However, as they say it is impossible to wither away the Baadshah,
so no list of best actors is complete without his mention.
10. Varun Dhawan
Varun Dhawan. Call him the money machine of
Bollywood. Just 9 films down and none of Varun’s films have tasted a financial
loss. In fact, his last few projects were all Rs 100 crore plus. His two
releases this year – Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Judwaa 2 crossed Rs 200 crore
each. Varun got the characters perfectly in both the films. He is one
actor from the current lot who does everything right. He acts, yes he really
does! He also dances well and does comedy. And he even leaves the audience
happy. Hopes are only rising by the day from Varun Dhawan and we are sure he
will live up to all that.
