#5 World Cup – Akshay Kumar World Cup (KHAKEE wins)
8 GROUPS OF RANDOMLY CHOSEN FILM THAT STAR AKSHAY KUMAr – 4 FILMS IN EACH GROUP
GROUP STAGE pick 2 favourite films from Group of 4 – votes equal points
BLOGGERS TO VOTE ON WHICH FILM WINS – only need the winning film and if you like a reason for victory. No essays! In The event of a tie score at the end of group stages – a head to head match will be used to determine the winner. In the event of a tie head to head my vote will determine the victor.
TOP 2 FROM EACH GROUP TO GO THROUGH TO FINAL 16 – matches there on are randomly picked by me.
Final 16 and knockouts – in the event of a tie score the highest voted film overall will go through.
Honourable mentions – A few probably to mention obviously but I’ve tried to pick the most popular 32. Akshay Kumar has over 100 movies, so picking 32 may upset some!

I am not sure if this is good exercise. People are voting for wrong movies just because they haven’t watched all. That is leading for some really good movies kicked out at initial stage.
I think people shouldn’t vote for the groups if they haven’t watched all movies in it. Or you should not consider those groups. And ask people to flag those groups which they haven’t watched all.

Few of the movies rejected were indeed superb when it released. However now other movies have come.
Also missed my 2 favourites in the lineup –
Sabse Bada Khiladi
Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi
These two defined Akshay Kumar for me in 90s.

IIRC, these 2 Khiladi films helped Akshay Kumar enormously in the 90s when he found the going tough. Between Yeh Dillagi and Jaaanwar (the latter practically saved his career), these 2 Khiladi films helped him survive when he was on a terrible run.
I also like Sangharsh a fair bit back then. From other films not in the list, Garam Masala was pretty enjoyable.
I guess it must have been a tough job for Jay to choose 32 out of a filmography of 150 plus films.

It’s the hardest World Cup as Akshay’s done so many movies. One year in 90s he had 11 releases! In the end I’ve used wikipedia, BOI and IMDb to sort it out. Even Salman’s soundtracks I’ve missed a few decent soundtracks out.
But I’d basically just ask have I missed anything that would be a top 10 contender. Baby for sure I added back in.

I personally think you have included the main ones in there and balanced it out quite well in the groups. The likes of Garam Masala, the 2 Khiladi films Naveen mentioned, Yeh Dillagi, Jaanwar, Sangharsh, Awara Paagal Deewana, Ek Rishta, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Gabbar are the odd ones out there. But if you include them, you end up with 4 more groups!
There were some terrible films in the late 90s right after Khiladayon Ka Khiladi and until Jaanwar that you have done well to keep out of the list!

Ek Rishta is not really a great film. But there were a few things that I liked about it back then. It released at around the times of K3G and there was Bachan in both so there were obvious comparisons.
What I preferred in Ek Rishta compared to K3G is the way the rift between the father and son was treated and developed in the film. There was a graph about the 2 characters (something tha was lacking in K3G).
In K3G, the relation seemed quite hollow. It was all about tradition, ‘parampara’, social class etc.. So, as soon as the son disobeys the father, the latter cuts off all the ties. It is sudden. The reunion is also dramatic but sudden when they meet again.
In Ek Rishta, they show the problem in terms of 2 persons thinking differently and in terms of generation gap as well. The rift starts mildly and you can see it gradually becoming bigger and bigger until they break all ties with each other.
And then later, the reconciliation and repair also is a slow process. They start talking, the son offers his support in tough times and while they gradually get to learn to about their mistakes and the lessons are learnt, the relationship starts getting repaired.
There are some quite well written scenes between Bachan and Akshay Kumar, especially the ones when they are gradually mending the relationship. These scenes make the film watchable.

Khakee is a 3rd lead after AB and AD as chief antagonist. In fact his role was barely ahead of Tushar. Mohra is a 2nd lead with Shetty clearly getting the meatier role. Even Hera Pheri was dominated by Paresh & Omg was a supporting role at best. Aankhen was an AB show with Akshay relegated to supporting cast alongside Rampal.

Gabbar is Back is a far superior masala film to Lousy Rathore and the Hey Baby & Houseful circus. Also, Waqt The Race against time & Mujhse Shaadi Karogi deserve a mention.

Agree with Shivaay on Aankhein. Akshay was just a lead among the blind men. Nothing substantial.
However his role in Khakhee was influential. I watched the movie in a theatre in bengaluru.
Khakhee was an out and out Amitabh movie with Akshay in a third lead but had the best scenes which made his role memorable. In fact one of the best character actor scene written.
Akshay’s role provided the comic scenes and his pot shot to Amitabh was superb. In fact it was one of the major highlight of the film. ‘Tu Kya Kar Lega” to Amitabh was the first major drama of the movie. Till then it was all about quick scenes.
His romance with Aishwarya was needless and i felt it lacked the romance till the death scene which completely justified the track and lack of intensity because Aish was obviously not invested.
I think Ajay was terribly miscast. I don’t remember any of his scene now except the pre interval scene of his jeep doing the cheetah like hunt.

Good excuse for a 3rd lead relegated to the status of Tushar Kapoor despite his star value 😛 Ajay was the outright antagonist in the film with moments he made his own (the face offs with AB, the scene where he shoots the constable etc). Can’t quite say the same about Akshay & Aishwarya, both of whose existence slowed down the film and deviated the plot.

Point noted. Khakee I think deserves to be here. His character is not there at the end but the twist is on him and his death is avenged.
Aankhen I can barely remember but obviously Bachchan mainly.
Hard to draw a line. I always felt Hera Pheri is iconic for Baburao. Mohra could be Naseer mainly. 2.0 Rajni mainly. I can feel Naveen ready to pounce on me soon…

On Mohra, I personally voted for the film. It had everything. Great music, great background score, great action. It was a good thriller back then. The scene where you find out that Naseer is not blind is memorable. There was the oomph factor of Raveena’s Tip Tip Barsa Paani. There were villains with cool names like JIndaal, Jibraan, Tyson. There was Gulshan Grover with his famous ‘Dirty mind’ dialogue.
I think the film belonged to Naseer above all while the 2 heroes were still a bit raw then. But they excelled in action scenes and that was what was required from them.
As for Ankhein, it was an all-out Bachan film. But it’s not as if Akshay Kumar was relegated to the side kick’s role like Rampal and Rawal. He was the second most important character in the film. He was the main guy among the 3 blind men and it os obvious from his very introduction when they say he is the most dangerous one.
I also think the role in Khakee was a very good one. There is a half baked love story with Rai which basically was about 2 songs. He showed tremendous comic timing early on. There was a bit of everything about the performance. The scenes where he confronts Bachan’s honesty before his conscience awakens and then he becomes a honest cop were remarkable.
It was a great supporting role to Amitabh. I think Devgan was a bit underwhelming while Rai was not up to the mark. Devgan was a typical baddie character with 1 good scene pre-interval and the role was quite brief overall. It was disappointing from a Santoshi film.
It was an all out Bachan film. The latter was awesome in there. It was legendary stuff. One of the very best performances of all times.

Agree on Khakee, I didn’t mind the love story because it’s there to set up the turn by Aishwariya. Devgnn is ok here and Akshay is 2nd best performance after Bachchan.
Mohra is fun and deadly soundtrack. Naseer is the show stealer, followed by Shetty and Kumar.
I don’t remember Aankhen too much.

Quarter Finals
Khiladi Vs Mohra – Tough indeed. Khiladi is the best thriller of 90s for me, absolutely the best whodunit movie then with amazing soundtrack. Mohra was the best multi starrer actioner of 90s with great songs and cinematic moments. It was one of the rare hits at times when romantic movies were ruling.
-> So Mohra.
Khakee Vs Pad Man
Very tuf. But no contemporary hero has done a movie like Padman and made such an impact on society.
-> So Padman!!
OMG! Oh My God Vs Hera Pheri
Super tuf. OMG! is the ultimate religious satire. However Hera Pheri was the first situational comedy and paved way for a series of hits. It helped the genre to sustain even now.
-> So Hera Pheri
Baby Vs Special 26
Mega Tuf. Both by Neeraj Pandey. Special 26 was the first collaboration between Akshay and Neeraj. But Baby was unabashedly patriotic. Again it unleashed a series of patriotic movies and created a genre that benefited the industry.
-> So Baby
My final 4-
Mohra

Here are my best Akshay movies across genres –
[No particular order]
1. Comedy – Garam Masala
Garam Masala is the best movie to watch with chichore friends over drinks. It’s cheesy and rip roaring fun.
2. Action – Sabse Bada Khiladi
SBK is quite bizzarre with several loopholes in the story and screenplay. But what works is the lead star who just sleepwalks and stands tall above the script. Pure Fun.
3. Romedy – Namaste London
With the best act ever from Katrina, this movie is the best from the duo, have very good song and again Akshay stands tall above the script. This NRI romance based on a true story has few heart warming scenes
4. Social – Padman
Padman is about hygiene + entrepreneurship. Akshay just gave his best performance here.
5. Action Thriller – Khakee
Khakhee was an out and out Amitabh movie with Akshay in a third lead but had the best scenes which made his role memorable. In fact one of the best character actor scene written.
6. Science – Mission Mangal
This movie has several layers from women at work to diversity to science. Akshay delivers a great performance but i loved Vidya more here. Engrossing and leaves an impact.
7. Family comedy – Waqt
This father son duo is Amitabh and Akshay’s best for me. Some great comedy between Rajpal Yadav and Big B. Akshay managed to delivery great via some superbly written scene of a son trying to prove himself.
8. Masala – Mohra
This was tough but Mohra takes the cake from all other Akki movies. The song, the villain, the heroines, the heroines, the star cast, a complete – Can watch the movie from ant scene onwards.
9. Romance – Dhadkan
The only film in India on Arranged marriage. Just loved it. Songs are evergreen.
10. Nationalist – Baby
Superb movie which made me really happy as Akshay’s fan.
11-15 : Hera Pheri, Airlift, Khiladi, Toilet EPK, Kesari.

I like Hera Pheri but it is not original as people have pointed.
MPK has 3 tunes borrowed.

Yes agree, I still love MPK but I plugged for HDDCS!
Hera Pheri is a wonderful comedy movie.

Mann, AHAT have sonorous track but most of tunes are borrowed.
But then great RD also took Mehbooba from elsewhere.

Mann, AHAT, Dil, Baazi all have similar tunes.
I don’t care if things are lifted or copied too much as I hardly seen or watched original. So even if original Kabir Singh or Hera Pheri are better, I probably won’t watch them anyway.
As long as what I watch is good enough I am non the wiser. I’d rather watch a plagiarised copy than a rank bad original movie.

Dil was by Anand Milind..One track was lifted from Illyaraja (Priya Priya)..
Baazi and AHAT was by Anu Malick
Mann was by Sanjeev Darshan (Shravan’s sons)..almost everything is lifted.

A well deserved winner.
RKS needs to get back to doing what he does best – action/masala thrillers. Disappointed in him trying his hand at, more unsuccessfully than not, at screwball comedies. Not his forté, I believe.
Andaz Apna Apna was a fluke where the greatness just kind of “happened”

A ranking exercise like this for Akshay Kumar, like many similar superstars and lovable like Dharmendra or Madhuri Dixit gives an interesting insight.
They lack that big all time great film in their cinematography when compared to Big B ( for Dharmendra), Sri Devi (for Madhuri) or Khans (for Akshay).
But what they have is a tall list of good and pleasant movies. This list will be biggest for them compared to their contemporaries and this is what makes the star lovable during their times. They run the industry, do lots of good movies and share a consistent high (off late for Akshay and for next few years now) rather than a tall peak.
So an exercise like this ends up picking a wrong movie for these stars. The movie may not be their best but the round robin kind of elimination removes lots of good movies which are more or less equally good.

Yes they are the tallest for Madhuri and Dharmendra each. Akshay doesn’t have this peak yet. But except for this, everything i said is still valid.
