Shah Rukh Khan, the king of Bollywood, has achieved a rare feat by delivering two films that crossed the ₹ 1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office in the same year. His latest release, Jawan, directed by Atlee, has become the fastest Bollywood movie to surpass ₹ 1000 crore at the global box office in just 18 days of its release. It has beaten SRK’s own record of ‘Pathaan’ which took 27 days to hit the milestone of Rs 1,000-crore worldwide gross collection. Jawan is also the fastest Hindi movie to top the ₹ 500-crore net in India.
Jawan, which also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone in pivotal roles, is a high-octane action thriller that revolves around a jailer who hijacks a metro train to expose corruption and help farmers. Billed as an high-octane action thriller that outlines “the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in the society”, the film stars Shah Rukh in the dual role of Vikram Rathore and his son Azad. The film has received critical acclaim for its cast performances, screenwriting, action sequences and musical score by Anirudh Ravichander.

Shah Rukh Khan, the only actor to have two 1000-crore films in one year
Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan had also starred in Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, which also featured John Abraham and Salman Khan in cameo roles, was a spy thriller that showcased SRK as a RAW agent who takes on a global terrorist.
Khan’s success with Jawan and Pathaan is even more remarkable considering that he had taken a four-year break from acting after his 2018 film Zero failed to impress the audiences and critics. Khan had said in an interview that he wanted to spend more time with his family and reflect on his career choices. He had also said that he was not interested in doing any more romantic films, which had been his forte for decades.
However, Khan made a comeback with Pathaan, which was a departure from his usual roles. He played a RAW agent against a rival agent (Abraham) who turned into a global terrorist threat. The film also featured a cameo by Salman Khan, who played his character Tiger from the popular spy franchise and was another blockbuster that crossed ₹ 1000 crore at the worldwide box office. Khan then followed it up with Jawan, which was another action-packed film. He played a double role of father and son. The film also featured a cameo by Deepika Padukone, who played the love interest of the actor.
With these two mega hits, Shah Rukh Khan has become the only actor in the history of Indian cinema to give back to back 1000 crore films in the same year. He has also reclaimed his position as the undisputed king of the box office and proved his versatility as an actor.
The worldwide gross of SRK in 2023 is higher than the global gross of all other Hindi films put together in the year.
Fans are eagerly waiting for his upcoming projects, which include Dunki with Rajkumar Hirani, which is also anticipated to be equally blockbuster and Tiger 3 with Salman Khan.
Will Dunki be Shah Rukh Khan’s third 1000 crore film in 2023?
The actor is now gearing up for his third release of the year, Dunki, which is slated to hit the screens on December 22, 2023. The film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani, who is one of the most successful and acclaimed filmmakers in the industry. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal in pivotal roles.
Dunki is a comedy-drama that revolves around the concept of illegal immigration via the ‘Donkey Flight’ method. The film is said to be based on the life of an immigrant in Canada, who faces various challenges and adventures. The film also features cameos by Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone, who have a huge fan following.
Dunki marks the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani, who have both been known for their unique and entertaining films. Hirani has delivered hits like Munnabhai series, 3 Idiots, PK, and Sanju, which have all been loved by the audiences and critics alike. He has a knack for making films that are socially relevant, humorous, and emotional. He has also worked with some of the biggest stars in Bollywood, such as Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt.
Dunki has a festive release date, which is December 22, 2023. The film will benefit from the Christmas and New Year holidays, which usually boost the footfalls in theatres. The film will also face less competition from other releases, as most of the big films have already been released earlier this year. The film has a strong potential to attract the family audiences, who are looking for a fun and light-hearted film to watch during the holidays.
Therefore, Dunki has all the ingredients of a potential blockbuster, and if it lives up to the expectations, it might become Shah Rukh Khan’s third 1000 crore film in 2023. However, the final verdict will depend on the word-of-mouth reviews and the audience’s response after the film’s release. Shah Rukh Khan has indeed proved that he is the undisputed King of Bollywood.
