6. As Jab Tak Hai Jaan looks to somehow trundle past 100
crores at the domestic box office, one wonders what’s
wrong with Shah Rukh Khan.
With constantly increasing number of screens and ticket
prices, every big film is likely to achieve that.
Rivals are creating new and newer records and earning
audience’s love, his films seem to be failing on both
counts
Overseas earnings which are mostly due to a wider
release as compared to other films.
Being happy with overseas numbers without making any
impact on the audiences back home is quite meaningless
as far as somebody’s impact as a star is concerned
7. TOTAL RELEASES: 51
Super Hit/Blockbuster 17
Hit 6
Average 8
Flop 20
Overseas Hit from above 51 21
Note: Hits include My Name Is Khan, Ra.One and Don 2 on the basis of their overall
collection and Flops don’t include his guest appearances. All flops have Shah Rukh as
a lead or as an important character in a multi-starrer. There can be a disagreement on
one or two films but more or less this is the picture.
8. The Mixed Bag (1990-2001)
1993: Yash Chopra’s Darr

10. An eye on the overseas market
After DDLJ, a trend to please NRI audiences started
Stories were related to people living in foreign countries or
returning from these countries
MNIK was aimed at making a splash internationally
Ra.One also seemed to have been made with a dream of
making it a popular franchise like Superman and Spiderman
Don 2 was a Hollywood style action-thriller totally devoid of
emotions that Indian audience cannot do without.
11. Make films with Indian audience in mind
Change of tracks
No Action films
Being Adventurous
Work over Image Building
