One Year of Shah Rukh Khan's Biggest Blockbuster 'Jawan'

Mumbai, September 7 - 2023 was the year completely dominated by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan with three big box office blockbusters. It all began with his comeback film, Pathaan before Jawan outdid it with its phenomenal performance, followed by the third success of the year in the form of Dunki. ## Pathaan redefined the stardom of Shah Rukh Khan by becoming his first 1000 crores gross grosser before director Atlee's Jawan took it to the next level and turned out to be one of the biggest Pan India blockbusters of all time. Jawan has turned a year old after getting unleashed at the box office on this day (September 7) last year.## The action thriller was one of the first major collaborations between a South Indian director and a Bollywood superstar in recent times, and this collaboration turned out to be one of the most talked about for redefining the mass genre in Indian cinema. It was mounted on a huge scale and featured many mass moments to turn the theatres into stadiums.## Jawan was a box office phenomenon from day 1 and it broke several records in India and overseas. As said, it scored the biggest opening (75 crores net) for a Bollywood film, followed by the biggest first week of all time for Bollywood and one of the biggest in Hindi.## The box office juggernaut of the movie continued beyond the first week and eventually turned out to be the biggest Bollywood blockbuster domestically. In the original Hindi language, it is the highest-grossing movie ever with 582 crores net collection (687 crores gross) while its worldwide collection is 1160 crores gross. ## Jawan is the second highest-grossing Bollywood film worldwide of all time after Dangal which grossed approximately 1300 crores in China out of its 2070 crores worldwide cume. Without China (which is not a regular market for Indian movies), the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer is by far the biggest Bollywood grosser ever. ## The movie got some criticism for being based on outdated topics, but at the same time, it was praised for showing the burning issue of corruption in the massiest way possible. Apart from the performance of the star cast and Atlee's direction, the film's major highlight was Anirudh's music which elevated the scenes perfectly. ## As said, the extraordinary performance of Jawan (along with Ranbir Kapoor's Animal with Sandeep Reddy Vanga) opened the door for more collaboration between South Indian filmmakers and Bollywood stars as this is being seen as a major success formula at the box office. Animal was also a monstrous success at the box office last year from the collab of a Bolly star and a Southern director. ## Stay tuned...

Aamir Khan To Take A Bold Stand For The Future of Theatrical Medium

Mumbai, September 6 - Post the Covid-19 pandemic, the theatrical has been one of the badly affected mediums of entertainment. While the business has returned to normalcy for the large-scale entertainers, it is still not the same for the mid to low-budget films as it was before the pandemic. ## The mid-budget films have been a driving force in generating revenue for the industry over the years and one of the major reasons for the non-superstar films not performing as frequently as they used to be at the box office is the negligence of the filmmakers towards theatrical medium in announcing the digital rights of their movies even before the big screen release. ## The side effect of having a premature OTT deal can already be seen in the decrease in footfalls in theatres, especially for mid to low-budget films, as paying audiences are ready to wait to watch the film for free rather than going to theatres since they exactly know when the film is coming to digital platforms. ## This overall ongoing trend needs a drastic change in the mindset of the filmmakers for the future of the theatrical medium which must be protected for the industry's own benefit. While there's a long way to go, the change seems to be happening and it's coming from none other than superstar and filmmaker Aamir Khan.## According to the report by Pinkvilla, Aamir Khan has been discussing a game-changing idea of not selling the digital rights of his films before theatrical release with all the stakeholders. It is said that "the actor's vision is to revive the social comedy genre by keeping it exclusive for the big screen for at least 12 weeks". ## One of the alarming chatters ongoing within the Bollywood film industry is that OTT platforms are dictating terms and forcing filmmakers to release their movies on pre-decided XYZ dates even if it is not suitable for the film's business. The digital platforms are also deciding the film's prices by keeping the box-office clause in the contract.## "Aamir is willing to sell and value his film based on the audience reception to the content on theatrical release. With no logo of digital players on posters and trailers, Aamir aims to keep his communication clear – experience his content only on the big screen. His idea is to go back to the good old days when viewers didn’t have any idea about the satellite premieres", the report adds.## Meanwhile, Aamir Khan has several films in the pipeline under his production house, Aamir Khan Productions. The superstar will be returning to the big screen with Sitare Zameen Par in which he plays the lead role. The movie is announced for Christmas release but as per reports, it will be delayed to next year.## Stay tuned...

After 2024, No Film of Superstar Shah Rukh Khan In 2025 Also?

Mumbai, September 4 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made a roaring comeback on the big screen with three back-to-back big box office successes in 2023 in the form of Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki which combined grossed over 2600 crores worldwide. ## 2023 proved to be a dominating year for Bollywood, thanks to the major contribution from the aforementioned three films. It was also a year to remember for Shah Rukh Khan and his fans, however, 2024 hasn't been the same for them with not a single release. ## After 2024, it looks like there will be no film of Shah Rukh Khan getting released in 2025 as well. The actor is presently working on director Sujoy Ghosh's action thriller The King which is in the pre-production stage. The much-anticipated film, which also stars Suhana Khan, will start shooting by the end of this year. ## According to the latest buzz in the industry, The King is targeting an early 2026 release, which means no Shah Rukh Khan film for the second year in a row at a time when he is at the top of his game. While it's a long wait for the fans, it is also a loss to some extent for exhibitors who hugely benefitted from SRK's last three films in 2023. ## Apart from The King, Shah Rukh Khan also has Yash Raj Films' Pathaan 2, which is expected to go on floors by 2025, and Tiger vs Pathaan. Both films are likely to be released only after 2026. ##
