Box Office: Can Sunny Deol Overtake Vicky Kaushal In Star Ranking With Batwara 1947?

By Shalmesh More

Sunny Deol has been one of the biggest comeback stories of Indian cinema in the post-COVID era. The veteran actor had become totally irrelevant in the pre-pandemic era, but Gadar 2 brought him back into the limelight. The film turned out to be an all-time blockbuster at the Indian box office, thus reviving his stardom. This year, he delivered another money spinner with Border 2. Up next, he’ll be seen in Batwara 1947, which also has the potential to set the cash registers ringing. With the upcoming biggie, the actor is hoping to make a turnaround in the Koimoi Star Ranking.

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 awarded 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.

What’s the current status of Sunny Deol in Star Ranking?

Due to Gadar 2 and Border 2, Sunny Deol has gained 800 points in the Koimoi Star Ranking. He’s currently holding the 12th place, above John Abraham (750 points). He has been placed below Vicky Kaushal (800 points). Despite sharing equal points, Vicky has been placed higher at 11th because he has one 600 crore net grosser to his credit in the form of Chhaava, while Sunny has none.
