Analysis:
- Aamir Khan has dominated the overseas markets in the last few years. PK, Dhoom 3 and 3 Idiots are at the top of the list. Bajrangi Bhaijaan could make it to the Top 3.
- Shah Rukh Khan is by far the most popular actor overseas. 9 of the 20 films featured SRK in the lead. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which released nearly 14 years ago, is the oldest film in the Top 20.
- Aamir – Rajkumar Hirani and SRK – Karan Johar are the most successful actor-director duo in the overseas markets. All Karan Johar films, including his debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, have opened well.
- With Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan is now a major force in all the overseas territories too. The Kabir Khan directed film has become the top grosser in UAE/GCC and could become the 2nd highest grosser of all time, if and when it releases in countries like Japan and China.
- Almost every Shahrukh Khan film in the last 10 years, except Chak De India (which was surprisingly a poor grosser compared to other SRK films), has made it to the Top 20. Do note that those films might have been replaced by newer films in the Top 20 list.
- Hrithik Roshan has 3 films in the Top 20, including his supporting act in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

the man who defined stardom, who made indian cinema popular in overseas – Shah Rukh Khan. this man deserve love from everyone
SRK’s Stardom In Overseas Is Something, UnImaginable, Undefinable !! Huge, Enormous, One Can Ready To Die For Him.
One film of salman khan did well in overseas & his fans are dancing . what should SRK fans do ? SRK has 20 blockbusters in overseas. say say say.
One film of salman khan did well in overseas & his fans are dancing . what should SRK fans do ? SRK has 20 blockbusters in overseas. say say say, Badshah Khan is unmatchable , please don’t insult him by comparing him with others!!
Salman fans try to prove Aamir is bigger than SRK in overseas ( which is such a big joke ) out of pure jealousy from SRK . being jealous from SRK shows how big SRK is. mind it. ;)
Aamir fans use Salman’s name to defend Aamir and Salman fans use Aamir’s name to defend Salman being jealous from SRK. But both get kick on their asses properly at the end by KING KHAN and his fans. :D
In overseas, Bhai is competing with Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapar and here his fans are comparing him with SRK. Irony. SRK Is Worshipped By Fans In Overseas. Show Me Any Hollywood Superstar Whose Fans Are Crazy For Him Like they are for SRK.
Bollywood ka Baadshah aisehi nahi bolte.Hadd se jyada diya hai bollywood ko.He makes bollywood proud. Had some thousands when he came to Mumbai, now owns almost 2.5 thousand cr. Not possible widout dedication and hardwork. SRK Is Pride Of India.
Wow. SRK is a Pride of India. National asset. International Icon. Global Persona. My frnd from Mexico wants 2 bcom HINDU aftr watching SRK films.
SRK=The International Icon
SRK=Badshah
SRK=King of Bollywood
SRK=King of Romance
SRK The Name Is Enough.
Good article indicine. SRK is Icon of Indian cinema. There is a saying that Half of t world population knows him which is Absolutely marvellous Srk is GOD of acting and a true icon for india. He’s the epitome of charm when it comes to a leading man in Hindi cinema. From his wit, intelligence, humour to his oratory skills, SRK’s more than just a cinematic figure. An icon for the nation, he is a people’s person nd has an effect on everyone he comes n contact with.
Really SRK is the pride of India,”desh ki shaan shahrukh khan”.Feeling proud to having a superstar and a international icon in our country. SRK is a perfect example of the ideal INTERNATIONAL icon of India:)) A global ambassador for Indian Cinema, culture and values!
It proves why SRK is more indian than any other indian you know. He is a global icon, in some countries “India” is all about SRK. And they say… SRK is a real icon representing our beloved INDIA to the world ………. and i am proud be born in the land of SRK. His beliefs,his principles are something i am struck by and would carry to my friends.SRK is truly a youth icon. SRK is an indian but the Global icon,don’t compare him with some kind of actors who works only for stupid masses!
An actor & superstar are different things & being an icon is a totally different ! SRK is not only an actor & a superstar but also an icon. article proven it.
Dare yourself. I mean double date yourself when u compare Srk with anyone else.. Srk is a self made global icon. No one can be on its own. His innocence is still alive thanks to his memories of the past. And i am glad that SRK is my icon. Nobody else could ever take his place. love.a
Even Amitabh Bachchan said that SRK is true Indian Icon worldwide & a God figure in some European countries like Germany. SRK is d Biggest Movie star in d world-BBC News.but why Indian people, fans of other actors always spreads Negativity about him? He is selfmade and icon. respect him. look at the article how awesome he is. also SRK honored from prince of morocco & honored from DR. Mahthir mohamed ex prime minister of malaysia In one month SRK is truly global icon.
@Tinu : First learn the difference between Dare and Date … double date yourself …. Lol !!!!!! then talk about daring others… Too much fun !!!!!!!!!
@Behen ka fan : 5-6 comments ek hi baat batane ke liye ?? Still not convincing enough. It was people like you and your friends who had challenged Salman that he will always chase KANK overseas collections and MNIK will not be broken by him even in 7 lives !!!!!!!!!! So Salman has proved all of you, that is the joy for us. We know what is SRK and what is Salman but sadly blind haters cant see it. So it is important to show more joy to blind haters like you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Aki — It is a joke only for bhojpuritards — check here how many blockbusters SRK has in overseas — http://t.co/9UhLSNRVTp total 20 including MHN, Darr. ( more than the whole Bollywood ), other actors’ fans can’t believe that he has 20 blockbusters bec their idol are yet to give 1,2 blockbusters while SRK is going to complete 30 in few more years…
@Eric — forget about MNIK, etc even HNY’s first day in Germany was more than the lifetime of PK in germany and MNIK’s first day was more than the combined of all non-famous and tinymir’s films in Egypt. tell your motu to break at least SRK’s K3G in overseas without Hirani and Christmas and tell him to give more blockbusters & hits than Hrithik in overseas & tell him to give at least more hits than Ritesh in India then compare open your dirty mouth..
@Iam Dhakkan what a joke. PK crossing 100 crores in china alone has given you enough nightmeres. Only in your dreams. PK’s life time was more than Crappy ok year’s life time in Germany. My friend lives in Germany and he told me that crappy old year’s most shows were empty in the second day itself while PK rocked in Germany. Your non famous non popular YRF Dharma dependent star will always remain light years behind aamir in popularity and fan following. Your haklu has fan following only in media and his so called PR. Aamir is the real global king with billions of fans worldwide.
Dhoom 3 makes 198 cr overseas. Speaks volumes about the brains of nris.
Once upon a time, there was megastar named Srk,this time for ,sallu, aamir
King Khan’s Fan will brake every overseas record by his mind blowing performence bcoz our real SRK is back!
350 crore overseas undoughtly
10 movies of srk
2016 mein sirf 80 crore ka bussiness ufff agay main kuch nahin kahuga aap samajhdaar ho
