PK vs Happy New Year: Highest overseas grosser of 2014?

In recent times, films starring Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan have not only crossed the 100 crore mark in India, but have also managed to perform equally well (or better in SRK’s case) in overseas markets.

Take a look at these numbers below – the Top 8 highest overseas grossers.

  • 1. Dhoom 3 – $28.1 million (? 174 cr)
  • 2. 3 Idiots - $25.2 million (? 119 cr)
  • 3. My Name Is Khan - $22.8 million (? 107 cr)
  • 4. Chennai Express - $18.8 million (? 116 cr)
  • 5. Jab Tak Hai Jaan – $13.2 million (? 73.2 cr)
  • 6. Don 2 - $11.2 million (? 59.4 cr)
  • 7. Ra.One – $10.9 million (? 53.8 cr)
  • 8. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna – $10.6 million (? 49.2 cr)

Shahrukh Khan vs Aamir Khan Overseas BO

As is pretty evident from the above numbers, Shahrukh Khan has dominated the overseas markets like no other actor in the history of the Indian film industry. Even his most ridiculed film, Ra One, has collected close to 11 million overseas.

But Aamir Khan’s last release Dhoom 3 and his most loved film 3 Idiots, have topped the charts. In fact, Dhoom 3 is way above the rest.

So the battle for the highest overseas grosser of 2014 is most likely going to be between Aamir’s P.K and SRK’s Happy New Year. The one factor that will hugely favour P.K is the fact that Rajkumar Hirani, the director of 3 Idiots, is directing P.K too.

Vote and tell us which film will win the big overseas battle, which will be mighty important if either film has to out-gross Dhoom 3 worldwide.

  • I thing p.k is political issue movie and H.N.Y is family entertainer ….both movie doing well as usual..
    BANG BANG movie has also enjoyable movie like action , fun and entertainer ( knight and day )

  • @omer are you serious or a blind fanatic. If the movie was taken by srk than it won’t be termed as most loved film of current time. The simple reason that at this age srk couldn’t justify a college going boy role the way Aamir did for which his short height and innocent face made to realise that we can satisfy that he is looking like a college guy. No doubt if movie got appreciation than any actor can got that fame which Aamir get with 3i and Srk presence will make more solid presence in overseas but the question remain could srk justify the character of Rancho? If you think yes than god bless you.

  • @TS,definitely I agreed with you bro,CE is just THE TRAILOR,PICTURE TO ABHI BAAKI HAI.this is the SAME I couldn’t remember when HE gave last flop even has done many films unlike very short and choosy like amir.haters said KING KHAN’S last some HIT FILMS are HIS FAILURES and jai ho/talash are success not failure.I mean how could salman/amir fans are so foolish peoples who knows better than US what was their star’s position before 2009 both in domestic/overseas.IT’S SRK who CONSISTENTLY RULED BO OVER 2 DECADE.THAT’S WHY HE IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.

  • Aamir+ Raju hirani+Sanjay Dutt+ U.T.V+Anushka + Sushant+ Sonu Nigam=550 worldwide boxoffice net collection(India 350,overseas 200)

  • I am an srk fan but i feel bad for him because he still can’t break his old my name is khan record. and i feel that even this year aamir khan will beat my favorite actor very abdly at the box office. poor srk.

  • its hny all d way. ce with less buzz and screens with competition did 432 cr worldwide. hny 625-650 ka ww business karega. mark my words.

  • hny domestic- 325 cr. overseas- 225 cr. ww net- 550 cr. ww gross- 625-650 cr. sureshot atbb. pk flop. pk 250 cr ww gross.

  • PK will smack all critics, and bags numerous awards, where as HYN will smack all records. We all know that. Pk is an art flim directed by Brillant Raj Kumar Hirani and acted by genius Aamir Khan, we could expect critics from it, not records. HYN is complete package of fun filled by numerous casts. By the way, I am a die hard fan of Aamir Khan. Pk will sustain its postion in thetare for many days, but due to slow opening, it wouldn’t be able to surpass HYN. SRK will ends this year with HYN. That would be great if Aamir suprass it too, but rare chance.

  • definitely pk 19 day run..on bo..no movie realese at that time..so pk…2014 grosser..but definitely..salman khan movie bjarangi bhaijaan..or prem ratan dhan payo..create new record on box office..!
