Every year, popular film magazine Filmfare compiles and publishes an elaborate list of the most significant people in Bollywood. Actors, actresses, singers, music directors, producers, distributors and directors are ranked in their respective categories based on their impact on the industry in that year.
Among the many categories is one which removes the boundaries set by the area of expertise of the personalities in question. It’s more about the influence of each personality on the industry as a whole than their specialization.

The Filmfare Power List 2009 hasn’t brought any smiles to Shah Rukh Khan as it’s Aamir Khan who took the top spot, just like he did in the 2008 and 2007 Power Lists. The success of Taare Zameen Par, Ghajini and 3 Idiots with the last two attaining all time blockbuster status, have made sure Aamir retained the first position for three years back-to-back. Shah Rukh Khan on the other hand had to settle for the second spot once more. In consolation for SRK, it must be mentioned that SRK had only two releases in 2009 – Dulha Mil Gaya in which he had a cameo and Billu in which he had an extended guest appearance. Both movies tanked and despite the failure, SRK held on to his position in the list indicating the significance of this actor.
