Just a year back there was a famous adage in Bollywood that either sex or Shah Rukh Khan sells at the box-office. While ‘sex’ is debatable, Shah Rukh surely sells.
Though KANK is a multistarrer, SRK is the backbone of the movie. He is there from the opening reels right to the film’s conclusion. It is to him the most footage is given. And, as expected, the fans of the superstar have immensely liked the film and his performance in it, no matter how some critics may have panned it.
Just to present some business figures, KANK has raked in an impressive amount of Rs. 31 crores in its run so far in the three major markets – US, UK and Australia.
Shah Rukh could not have hoped for a better resurgence after a long hibernation since the release of his film Paheli last year. While this year saw a good number of films featuring other no-less-talented stars, it is Shah Rukh who ends up stealing the thunder at the box-office.
And now, the deserving superstar is all geared up for another round in the coming months as Farhan Akhtar’s Don readies for release in the Diwali weekend.
Judging by the movie’s promos, it is going to be an adrenalin rushing thriller as Shah Rukh steps into the role immortalized by Amitabh Bachchan more than two decades ago.
At the ‘Don’ music launch in Mumbai recently, Shah Rukh gave his fans a teaser of what to expect from the movie when he delivered a few dialogues. The one that got the loudest applause was : Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin bhi hai (To catch Don is not only difficult, it’s impossible).
Well, the dialogue surely befits the superstar as far as the box-office earnings go.
