Ahead Of King, Shah Rukh Khan's Biggest Box Office Blockbusters

With SRK gearing up to return with Siddharth Anand's King, we revisit the Badshah's biggest blockbusters of the last 15 years. From his first Rs 100 crore film to breaking the Rs 1,000 crore milestone, here's how they land.

After a massive 2023 with three huge releases, Shah Rukh Khan went back on hiatus for the big screen for the next three years. All eyes are on the Bollywood superstar's next, King, directed by Siddharth Anand, which is releasing on December 24, 2026, ahead of Christmas. For the actor's 61st birthday on November 2, 2026, we look at King Khan's biggest films that conquered the world. From the romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) to the comedy Chennai Express (2013) and the action film Jawan (2023), Shah Rukh has left no genre unexplored.

Shah Rukh Khan's highest-grossing blockbusters at the global box office

Ra.One (2011)

Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Ra.One was a massive sci-fi gamble for Shah Rukh Khan under his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment. The star played a double role as an ordinary father and as G-One, the character in the Ra.One game. Co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Rampal, Ra.One became Shah Rukh's first entry into the Rs 100 crore club, as it earned Rs 114.29 crore in India. Made on a budget of Rs 130 crore, it grossed Rs 206.73 crore worldwide. With hit songs such as Chammak Challo and Criminal, SRK's Ra.One has gone on to gain cult status with fans.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)

Yash Chopra's sweeping romantic saga starring Shah Rukh, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma became the iconic filmmaker's last film before his death on October 21, 2012. The Hindi film, which featured SRK in a romantic triangle with Katrina and Anushka, was released during the Diwali holiday and grossed Rs 235 crore globally. In India, Jab Tak Hai Jaan earned Rs 120.85 crore on a budget of Rs 70 crore, as it became one of 2012's top-grossing films.

Chennai Express (2013)

Shah Rukh and his Om Shanti Om (2007) co-star Deepika Padukone reunited for a madcap comedy adventure for Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express. The Hindi film nearly doubled its India total worldwide as it grossed Rs 423 crore. The North-South love story, made on a budget of Rs 110 crore, became a surefire blockbuster in the country with Rs 227.13 crore. The commercial romance is still looked at fondly today, thanks to its appealing story, the chemistry between SRK and Deepika and its chart-busting music by Vishal-Shekhar.

Happy New Year (2014)

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone returned for another super-hit with writer-director Farah Khan. This time, Farah threw the Om Shanti Om co-stars into an entertaining heist action musical that went on to gross Rs 387 crore around the world. With Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Jackie Shroff also part of the ensemble cast, Happy New Year earned Rs 203 crore and became a super hit in India. It was made on a budget of Rs 150 crore.

Dilwale (2015)

Rohit Shetty assembled an all-star cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, and Kriti Sanon in the action comedy Dilwale. Even though the Dilwale grossed Rs 384 crore globally, it received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. The romantic song Gerua picturised on the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge stars SRK and Kajol is still beloved even today. In India, Dilwale earned Rs 148.72 crore from a budget of Rs 160 crore.

Raees (2017)

The co-production Raees, between Excel Entertainment and Red Chillies Entertainment, was a period gangster film revolving around Shah Rukh Khan's character Raees Alam. Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees earned Rs 137.51 crore in India and grossed Rs 281 crore worldwide. The Hindi film paired SRK with Pakistani actress Mahira Khan; the melodic track Zaalima, composed by Pritam's JAM8, was a standout. The budget of Raees was Rs 125 crore.

Pathaan (2023)

After Zero (2018), Shah Rukh took an unofficial break from lead roles and only appeared in cameos and special appearances. But with Siddharth Anand's spy thriller Pathaan, he was back in business. The Yash Raj Films production, which also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, went on to become an all-time blockbuster with Rs 543.05 crore in India alone. Released on the Republic Day weekend, it was made on a budget of Rs 250 crore. Overseas, it grossed Rs 1,050.80 crore and ushered King Khan into the Rs 1,000 crore club.

Jawan (2023)

Shah Rukh's magical 2023 continued with Atlee's Jawan. The South filmmaker smashed his Hindi film debut with Rs 643.87 crore in India. The blockbuster Hindi film featured SRK in a double role in a larger-than-life avatar with stars such as Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, and Sanya Malhotra. Made on a budget of Rs 300 crore, Jawan grossed Rs 1152 crore worldwide and solidified his status as the king of the box office in 2023.

Dunki (2023)

For Shah Rukh Khan's last film of 2023, the superstar teamed up for a feature with writer-director Rajkumar Hirani called Dunki. The Hindi film, co-starring Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal in a special appearance, didn't quite match up to the standards set up by the King Khan himself in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan.

It earned Rs 212.42 crore in India from a budget of Rs 150 crore. Dunki fared better globally, where it earned Rs 458.4 crore.
