Dunki Box Office: Shah Rukh Khan Sets Record as the Only Indian Actor to Surpass 2500 Crore+ in a Single Year, Outpacing All, Including Aamir Khan
For Shah Rukh Khan, 2023 wasn’t just a year – it was a glorious renaissance. After a string of box office disappointments, King Khan took a well-deserved hiatus, only to return with a vengeance. And return he did, not with a whimper, but with a thunderous roar that shook the very foundations of the Indian film industry.
Forget mere hits, Shah Rukh Khan delivered two consecutive 1000 crore grossers with Pathaan and Jawan, etching his name in Bollywood history. As if that wasn’t enough, his third release of the year, Dunki, crossed the 300 crore mark worldwide within a mere week! This staggering feat made Shah Rukh Khan the undisputed king of the box office, the only actor in Indian cinema to rake in a whopping 2500 crore+ in a single year. And the numbers are still climbing!
It all started in January, when Yash Raj Films unleashed Pathaan, a high-octane action thriller that shattered numerous box office records. Shah Rukh Khan, sporting a salt-and-pepper beard and a steely glint in his eyes, was back with a vengeance, proving that age is just a number when it comes to charisma and box office pull.
Jawan, a gritty action flick, followed suit, keeping the box office on fire with its jaw-dropping stunts and Shah Rukh Khan’s electrifying performance. And then came Dunki, a heartwarming social drama that tugged at heartstrings and tickled funny bones in equal measure.
2023 wasn’t just about numbers for Shah Rukh Khan; it was about a triumphant return, a testament to his enduring star power, and a reminder that even after decades in the industry, he can still make the box office sing. His fans couldn’t be happier, and Bollywood stands in awe of the King who has reclaimed his throne with such resounding force. So, here’s to Shah Rukh Khan, the undisputed King of Bollywood, and to 2023, the year he roared back, louder than ever!
