5. Harman Baweja
The much-hyped debut of Harman Baweja failed to make any impact at the B.O. He was branded a Hrithik Roshan clone and was ridiculed by critics for his lackluster performance. The presence of beau Priyanka Chopra also couldn't save 'Love Story 2050' from being a damp squib.
Harman's future projects include 'Victory' and 'What's Your Raashee?'.
Debut: 'Love Story 2050'
Claim to Fame: Harry Baweja's son; Priyanka Chopra's date; Hrithik Roshan clone
Impact on the B.O. Richter: 1.0

4. Rajeev Khandelwal
Rajeev Khandelwal, the superstar of the small screen, made his Bollywood debut with 'Aamir'.
The movie highlighted the dark side of Mumbai. Rajeev Khandelwal put forth a splendid performance in the title role. He won over the critics as well as the fans. Inspite of it being pitted against 'Sarkar Raj' at the B.O, 'Aamir' was a moderate success.
Rajeev has recently signed a three-film deal with UTV.
Debut: 'Aamir'
Claim to Fame: King of the small screen; volcanic talent
Impact on the B.O. Richter: 3.0

3. Mughda Godse
Mughda Godse made her Bollywood debut in Madhur Bhandarkar's realistic take on the world of glitz and glamour, 'Fashion'.
The role in 'Fashion' was a walk-through for the former ramp gal. She looked completely at ease playing the struggling model, and managed to grab the attention of both the critic and the layman.
Mugdha will be seen next in UTV Spotboy’s 'Peter Gaya Kaam Se'.
Debut:'Fashion'
Claim to Fame: Hot bod!
Impact on the B.O. Richter: 3.5

2. Farhan Akthar
Farhan Akhtar made his impressive debut in Abhishek Kapoor's 'Rock On!!'
The GenX director, with movies such as 'Dil Chahtha Hai', 'Lakhsya' and 'Don' to his credit, played the lead role in the first real Bollywood take on Rock Music. Accusations of ghost directing 'Rock On!!' notwithstanding, Farhan Akthar put forth a commendable performance. He also sang six of the 'Rock On!!' songs. The movie was a multiplex super hit.
Farhan will be seen next in sister Zoya Akthar's directorial debut, 'Luck By Chance'. He will also make his small screen debut with his own show on NDTV Imagine, 'Oye! It's Friday'.
Debut: 'Rock On!!'

Imran Khan
The latest Khan on the block wooed audience with his debut in Abbas Tyrewala's directorial debut 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'
Imran Khan played the boy next door with style, and managed to emulate Uncle Aamir's 'QSQT' feat of 1988. 'JTYJN' was a superhit. His second movie, 'Kidnap', in which he played the anti-hero, failed to make an impact at the B.O.
Imran will be seen next in the Aamir Khan production, 'Delhi Belly'.
Debut: 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'
Claim to Fame: Brando-meets-Khan looks; cool first take; Aamir Khan's nephew
