‘Himmat-e-Mardaan Madad-e-Khuda’. This beautiful Urdu proverb means that God himself helps those people who help themselves and keep trying. Today, starting with this famous line, the king of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan is being mentioned because there came a time in his career when his films were not doing well. ‘Zero’, released in 2018, flopped at the box office. It was being said that Shahrukh’s career was over, but then Shahrukh took two steps back. Took a break of four years. Then he roared so loudly that his name was heard everywhere.
Not only Shahrukh but the entire Bollywood had sunk after the Corona epidemic and the dominance of Pan India films of South Cinema was visible. Most of the actors’ films were not doing well. Questions were being raised from Bollywood artists whether Bollywood is over. But during the four-year break that Shahrukh had taken, he was planning to make his own comeback.
Today i.e. 2nd November is Shahrukh Khan’s birthday. He is 59 years old. On this occasion, it is worth mentioning the time when he made a great comeback and brought his career as well as Bollywood back on track.
Shahrukh Khan’s comeback film
His comeback film ‘Pathan’ releases on 25 January 2023, 4 years, 1 month and 4 days after the flop of ‘Zero’, which is part of the country’s biggest universe YRF Spy Universe. Shahrukh does action in this film at the age of 57. In this picture, he is seen in such an action avatar that it becomes difficult to ignore him. The film earns more than Rs 1050 crore at the worldwide box office and SRK’s name is once again on people’s lips. Shahrukh once again sits on the throne of the King of Bollywood.
Planning to stop people from speaking
After the success of ‘Pathan’, Shahrukh’s trollers were calling this film just a fluke. However, he had planned to stop people from speaking even before ‘Pathan’ was made. He had joined hands with South director Atlee. ‘Jawaan’ releases on 7 September 2023. The craze for this film is visible in North India as well as in South India and the whole world and this film proves to be a bigger hit than ‘Pathan’. The film earns Rs 1150 crore at the worldwide box office. With this, he becomes the first Indian actor to give two films of Rs 500 crore and Rs 1000 crore back to back and it becomes difficult to break this record. But more than breaking his record, at that time other Bollywood actors were celebrating that the good days of Bollywood are back.
three movies a year
After the success of ‘Jawaan’, a film named ‘Danky’ is releasing at the end of the year 2023 on 21st December. After doing action in ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawaan’, Shahrukh focuses on the story in his third film of the year and shows the story of Indians going abroad from India through the Donkey Route. This film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The same Rajkumar Hirani, whose record is that till date not a single film of his has flopped. ‘Dinky’ also becomes a hit with a worldwide collection of Rs 450 crore. Then Bollywood got its golden days back and the world got its king in the form of Shahrukh.
