Akshay Kumar may be going through a rough patch in recent years, but it wasn’t long ago that he was the undisputed king of the box office. With a string of flops behind him—including the lukewarm response to Sky Force and the disappointing performance of Kesari Chapter 2—the current phase is a far cry from the peak years when Akshay’s films were unstoppable.

The Golden Run: Six Consecutive Blockbusters

In his illustrious 34-year career, Akshay Kumar has delivered 17 films that crossed the ₹100 crore mark. What stands out is the phenomenal period between 2018 and 2019, when he gave six back-to-back ₹100 crore hits—a feat that firmly established his dominance in Bollywood.

Here's a look at the films that rocked the box office during that time:

• Gold (2018) – ₹104.72 crore
• 2.0 (Hindi, 2018) – ₹189.55 crore
• Kesari (2019) – ₹154.41 crore
• Mission Mangal (2019) – ₹202.98 crore
• Housefull 4 (2019) – ₹194.60 crore
• Good Newwz (2019) – ₹205 crore

This historic run made Akshay the second-highest actor in terms of 100-crore films, trailing only behind a few other top superstars.

Star Power Still Intact

Despite a challenging phase, Akshay's stardom remains largely unaffected. He continues to be one of the most bankable and recognized faces in the industry. While recent releases haven’t worked in his favor, the industry and fans still place their faith in his ability to bounce back.

What’s Next for Akshay?

Following the underwhelming response to Kesari Chapter 2, expectations are high from his upcoming slate. In 2025, Akshay will be seen in:

• Housefull 5
• Jolly LLB 3
• Welcome to the Jungle

Additionally, he will make a special appearance as Lord Shiva in South star Vishnu Manchu’s ambitious film Kannappa.
