Shahrukh Khan and Kajol: The Evergreen Blockbuster Jodi of Bollywood!

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, arguably the most successful on-screen couple in the history of Indian Cinema, started their careers in 1992. Shahrukh made his debut in a film titled ‘Deewana’, while Kajol was first seen in ’Bekhudi’.

More than 24 years later, the two will appear in their seventh film together – ‘Dilwale’ directed by Rohit Shetty, which is scheduled for a grand theatrical release during the festive season of Christmas later this year.

The very fact that Kajol is still being cast opposite one of the top superstars in the industry today, speaks volumes of the love that the audience have for the ‘SRK – Kajol’ jodi. Almost all leading ladies of the 90s have either faded away or play supporting roles. Even stars like Rani Mukherji and Preity Zinta, who dominated the early 2000s, are no longer in the reckoning for big films.

The only exception is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who recently signed Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ also starring Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.

So what makers ‘SRK – Kajol’ the most evergreen jodi in the industry, nearly 25 years after their first film together? The table below has all the films of the two stars together – almost all films have gone on to make history at the box office. 2 All Time Blockbusters, 2 Blockbusters and 2 HITS.

  • Indicine you are the best
    TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU SRKAJOL MOST SUCCESSFUL JODI OF INDIAN CINEMA.
    WILL CONTINUE TO BE MOST ROMANTIC JODI OF INDIAN CINEMA

  • Probably the most iconic onscreen jodi.

    Dilwale should also showcase their chemistry but of course it wont match up to the likes of DDLJ (well no film can).

  • I like the line Indicine;
    ‘the most succesful on-screen couple of the History of Indian Cinema….
    You Rock SRK and Kajol !!!

  • But when they are together, they cross limit of overacting… DDLJ,KKHH,KKKG are prime examples of this!!!

    I think Dilwale won’t be any diffferent..
    But still I hope they give us a decent entertainer.

  • Most loved pair and will remain one , hope fully this upcoming Dilwale will crate the another history of indian cinema . Finger crossed .

  • EVERGREEN JOKE OF THE CENTURY=> Shahrukh Khan and Kajol: The Evergreen Blockbuster Jodi of Bollywood!

  • Dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge will definitely top this poll..hardly anyone won’t pick it unless u haven’t watched it yet..I actually loved all six of them..looking forward to dilwale as a light hearted family entertainer

  • Great pair on onscreen
    both are brilliant actors specialy in opposite pair together
    original KING with his QUEEN

  • BEST ON-SCREEN COUPLE… Not only in INDIA, but WORLDWIDE too…
    That’s what makes DILWALE so much special… Their JODI alone is enough to create waves of records…

  • I didn’t like baazigar,k3g and karan arjun at all.ddlj was abv avg
    but kuch kuch hota hai was superb and mnik was also top class

    waiting for dilwaale

  • See haters our king needs good heroine and also star cast to make film hit unlike your one man superstar salmir .
    And our fake king will show this again in his upcoming movies when fan will flop and dilwale will be hit.

  • 72 crore ki blockbuster jodi LOL.
    DDLJ released a year after HAHK and producers kept it running for 20 years, still it could not beat HAHK.

  • salman – kajol pair in pktdk and aamir – kajol pair in fanna was better than other khan…
    Their r many evergreen jodis….

  • dilwale will create history…. I want dilwale to collect 400 crores in India…. 250 crores in overseas….. kicking records in tingu’s slot is like that — usi ke ghar me ghus kar maarna…..

  • DILWALE will be much better than all previous movies of SRK & KAJOL….Actually, DILWALE will rock in Indian Cinema History..

  • THE EPIC JODI OF not only India,But also of EARTH.THEY ARE GREAT due to THE FAITH,BELIEVE,RESPECT that they have for each other.

    IT clearly indicates THEY WORKED on different genre,still THEY HAVE THE SUCCESS.

    THE ULTIMATE JODI ON EARTH.THEY challenged every situation on their path not only limited in some rajshri type family craps,not any type masala genre.THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL JODI IN EVERY GENRE.

    THEY ARE COMING WITH ANOTHER LIFETIME REMEMBERABLE ATBB THIS YEAR.

    WELCOME EPIC JODI….

  • Kajol was one of The Saviors of Self-Proclaimed King srk’s 90s Movies. But now she lost her charm like srk. So I don’t get anything special in both. That’s enough.

  • Kajol was one of my favourite actresses in 90s. But SRK is Most Panauti Name. Jis Film Me Hota Hai. Wo Hi Flop Ho Jati Hai. For exp. Billu, Raone, Don2, JTHJ & HNY. All Films are Washout. Tumne Galat Khan Chuun Liya. It’s not 90s or YashRaj & Dharma. Sorry Kajol, Dilwale will be HNY of 2015. Mark it.
