SRK takes a Twitter break after Dilwale

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has taken a Twitter break after the release of his much-hyped Christmas release ‘Dilwale’. His absence has been felt as ‘Miss You SRK’ has been trending on Twitter throughout the day.

The actor, who was one of the most active top stars on social media website Twitter, hasn’t updated his page after December 27.

The reason for his Twitter break could be his disappointment over the average performance of ‘Dilwale’ in India. After all, the film was touted to be one of the biggest releases of the year and expected to ‘easily’ cross the 200 crore mark even in the worst case scenario. SRK was probably banking on ‘Dilwale’ performing strongly because his next release is the slightly off-beat ‘FAN’, followed by yet another big clash between ‘Raees’ and ‘Sultan’.

Dilwale performing strongly against Bajirao Mastani would have given Shah Rukh a upper-hand in the much-hyped Eid clash. But now, ‘Sultan’ is the trade favourite and there are calls within the trade to avert the clash.

There is also talk within the industry that all is not well between Shah Rukh and his ‘Dilwale’ director Rohit Shetty, which is in complete contrast to the two celebrating after the release and blockbuster success of their last film ‘Chennai Express’.

‘Dilwale’ hasn’t really performed badly at the box office, but trade expectations from a Shah Rukh Khan film are so high, that even a 150 crore India / 380 crore worldwide grosser is perceived to be a under-performer. Especially Dilwale, which fetched excellent prices because it was considered a safe film.

Meanwhile, the actor has been shooting for ‘Raees’, which is one of his two big releases this year along with Yash Raj Films’ FAN.

  • What a needless article !! What’s the big deal that srk didn’t open twitter ?? I request indicine to publish articles like srk ate biriyani today,srk went to london,srk slept 8 hrs today etc..

  • bollywood is nothing without salmir. salmir are the two biggest megastars of indian cinema. bollywood is proud for having 2 greatest actors and biggest megastars SALMIR.

  • srk fans love prdp.. bt hav no courage to talk about bajrangi bhaijan,.
    its like wat happen to indian bowlers outside india… simply helpless.

  • @srk fans
    this is wat we call
    SHUTTING MOUTH….
    nw all his mental fans shld SHUT UP like him n stop this OVERSEAS OVERSEAS CHANTING… sudhar jao..

  • Srk fans keep comparing with salman’s lowest grosser….. Great keep it up…. Srk deserved that only….U should compare every srk movie with jaiho or max prdp…. Gudluck…

  • indicine you are right but dnt forget after his intolerence remark he is avoiding to say anything thats why i think hes taken a back from twitter..but we still love srk more than anyone…

  • So D se dar gaye Dilwale. Hahaha.
    Srk knew that more than haters, its his fans who are irritating him by giving sympathy like Even with protest,boycott,super director Bhansali media hyped film Dilwale (supposed to collect 300cr in domestic by some srk fans) ended below 150cr.
    Srk fans who were comparing Dilwale with pk&BB before release,BM was a disaster for them are now saying that BM is bigger film than dilwale and comparing their collection with Jai ho & Talaash.
    I think it enough for us to understand what is the status of Dilwale. Srk himself know that Dilwale underperformed big time in most important Domestic market. That’s why he took break to avoid any negativity. Srk bhi janta h but uske fans nahi mante.

    Now waiting for Fan supposed to break avtaar record because of srk 3.7 billion fans worldwide theory.

    @sht you can see my reply to your comment on Dilwale collection post.

  • @Pokemon, after the debacle of Dilwale and big humiliation of SRK by Ranveer Singh, you are gone mad….. you are saying that HNY (204) second highest grosser of SRK as Under performer ? and Dilwale (149) 3rd highest grosser as Under performer ?
    LOL…..
    so now m saying according to u, 2nd and 3rd Highest grosser of Aamir Dhoom 3 (280) and 3Idiots (202) are under performer
    Now compare with both actor’s film
    HNY 204 – Dhoom 3 280. 76 crs margin. Think if Dilwale would have collected 76 crs more it have attend Blocbuster tag.
    Dilwale 148 – 3 Idiots 202. 54 crs margin. Now I think that SRK is no where near Aamir.
    even Hrithiks Under perdormer Krrish 3 240 crs collected more than SRK’s highest grosser CE 226 crs.

    You are taking 2nd Highest grosser of SRK’s career as Under performer.. LMAO. …..
    Then which are highest grossers of SRK ??????

    LOL now SRK fans are saying that 2nd and 3rd highest grossers of SRK’s Career as Under performer….. Shameless fans of Shameless Actor.
    @indicine post this comment.

  • @Javed according to you….
    Flop Film of Salman PRDP 213 crs is almost equal to Blockbuster of SRK CE 226 crs. 226-213=13. so imagine the Stardom of Salman and SRK. to socho agar PRDP Blockbuster hota to kitna kamata….
    u r proving Salman > SRK. one more thing, keep comparing 3rd highest grosser of SRK with 9th highest grosser of Salman…. MegaStar with a Reason.

  • it happens in any stars career though it’s just first or second time for SRK but many superstar from Dilip Kumar, Rajesh khanna, Amitabh to Aamir & Salman all have seen lows in their careers with either their films flopped big time or disaster even Salman Khan’s films disasters at boxoffice that too continuously still in his so called bad phase and negativity, SRK’s film is doing such business to become top 3 grosser of year which tells his super stardom. so my serious opinion is just relax, forget what happened, take lessons and move on just 1 or 2 under performing films can’t over the charisma of SRK. just focus on future and do it well. for fans and haters, lows and highs will come n go but superstar always remain superstar just wait and watch for their good har Aadmi ka din aata hai, SRK will back soon when you can’t right him off so just chill and wait.

  • It done very well considering all the negativity he will be back – haters do u seriously think OSM CE and HNY sucess was more to do with deepika that is a very childish thought

  • Dilwale is the first film to lose a domestic clash and still lead worldwide meaning a 2-1 win, even Salman never lost 1-2, always 0-3 even to Ranbir. YRF(Ranveer) And RCE(Deepika) rock.

  • SRK fans Say that Aamir is Product of Dhoom, Raju Hirani and Christmas. So what about SRK,

    Then SRK is product of YRF and Dharma. Every hit films are of either Dharma or YRF.
    His movie collect more in overseas bcz, he was introduced by Dharma and YRF in Overseas see DDLJ or KKKG before that SRK was zero. Nowadays, SRK movies do good business bcz, He do world tours, Germany tours, Dubai tour, London tours and many more tours. Without tours he is zero in overseas.
    Product of YRF (SRK) failed to give Highest grosser for his Godfather Production house. Dhoom 3 and ETT are highest grossers.

    His movies badly flop on Christmas then he is not near even Kangana Ranaut whose Non Holiday release is ahead of SRK’s Christmas release.
    If Salman was supported by YRF or Dharma to phirr uska aas paas bhi nahi hota SRK……
    Waise bhi YRF ab Salman ko films offer karta hai taake Salman ke MegaStardom ka faida utha sake, isse pehle bhi YRF salman ke MegaStardom ka faida uthaya hai ETT se.

    SRK ko Blockbuster chahiye thi YRF se madad mili, YRF ko Blockbuster chahiye thi Salman se mila.

  • SRK is nothing without Deepika in India (Domestic) and without Kajol in Overseas.
    Domestic Hit of SRK : –
    CE – Dippy
    HNY – Dippy
    Overseas Hit of SRK
    MNIK – Kajol
    Dilwale – Kajol
    And The Gay’s fans are comparing him/her with Salman Khan. LOL…. LMAO

    Before the release of Dilwale, Indicine and their friends (SRK Fans) were saying that Dilwale will thrash BM and BM will struggle to collect 50 crs bcz Dilwale is Tsunami and will collect 250-300 crs ………and……..
    after the release of Dilwale They are saying…
    148 is comparable to PRDP, BB and BM lol…
    shame on you Guys and gals….
    Why u @ll fan of SRK r not saying Now that Dilwale failed to collect 150 crs and disappointed a lot bcz we were predicting Tsunami of 300 crs ? and the movie for which u were predicting only 50 defeated SRK by huge margin. Saali kismat badi kutti kamini cheez hai kabhi bhi palat jaati hai……
    #Excusewale
    Lol every srk movies are getting New name
    Crappy New Year – Flopwale, Varunwale, Excusewale etc etc.
    Dilwale collected more in overseas so now SRK fans will say that SRK is Germany’s SuperStar, Assam’s SuperStar, Tamil Nadu’s SuperStar, Kerala’s SuperStar. Netherlands’s SuperStar, Malaysia’ s SuperStar.

    Lol Now SRK fans are comparing Dilwale with PRDP to hide their defeat in hands of Ranveer Singh.
    @SRK fans u my boys pehle Ranveer singh ke BM se to compare karlo. BM – 180 Dilwale – 150.
    and Worldwidely 375 – Dilwale . 350+ – BM…. BM’s 350 is equal to 450 bcz it was clashed with Dilwale hence BM 350 >>>> Highest SRk film CE 395.

  • Sultanbhushan before bajrangi u bhai fans always used PK against the KING ab ek bajrangi kya aagayi aamir ko bhool gaye

  • This ‘trade’ is a moron. They relentlessly bashed SLB & Bajirao before the release. It was Srk, Srk, Srk everywhere. Suddenly, Dilwale underperformed now they are doing salman salman salman.

    These ‘trade’ idiots had called off Salman & Aamir during Jai Ho and Talaash. Now barking again.

    WTF?

    Trade or ‘Fair-weather friend?’

  • lol prem ratan idiot ban jayo performed WOEFULLY relative to expectations yet you claim the trade wants the clash to be averted because Raees has the disadvantage…????…. HAHA

    if prdp released in a clash, then asliyat samne aaja thi.

  • He is just fed up of stupid people (haters)… WE LOVE U SRK!!

    BTW did u know Aamir lost to Gadar, Welcome, and Ram Jaane. Salman lost to Don, All The Best and Bachna Ae Haseeno in box office clash!! WHAT A SHAME!!

  • Indicine good news as of 11 hours ago here are the tweeter rankings in order for incredible India ambassador
    King Khan
    Khiladi kumar
    Dhoom Roshan
    Badshaoo Devgn
    4 of these superstars fans fingers crossed but we all know King is winning!!!!!!!!

  • @Pokemon go get a life and stop blaming Salman fans for posting negative comments about BM after the film fare awards. You are a blasted liar it is you who have posted these comments by deceitfully using SK fans ID’s you have stoop to the gutter level from whence you came. Salman agreed to perform providing he would not be given any awards that has always his deal so you take your shit comment and shove it where the monkey don’t see sunshine you stupid moron.

  • Indicine

    1. If you truly know what happened between SRK and Rohit , the please post an article . If you don’t , the stop spreading rumors .

    2. Lol on your another logic ! Sultan is trade favorite ? Maybe , but Raees is People’s Favorite . Dilwale-BM clash has given a proof that content wins clashes . In that case Raees is having an upper-hand .

  • Some people are commenting that sallu is way better than srk,,,,really????Does 2-3 films collections(Kick,BB & PRDP)of salman makes him greatest actor?If films collections are more important than performance than Salman is way ahead of legends like Amitabh Bachchan,Dilip Kumar too.Baecause no Dilip kumar or Amitabh Bachchan films has collected even 100 crore!Dilip kumar 8 film fare best actor,Srk 8 film fare best actor,Amitabh Bachchan 5 film fare best actor award,,,salman khan film fare best actor award-Nill.
    what does indicates?If sallu is far better actor than srk then actors like varun dhawan,ranbir kapoor,ranveer singh are far better actor than amitabh bachchan,Dilip kumar,raj kapoor,Rajesh khanna as per sallu blind fans theory of good actor/better actor hypothesis!!!

  • Shah Rukh Khan has never shied away from doing out of the box films even when not many were trying things differently. Chak De India was a real eye opener which introduced a side of SRK’s histrionics nobody thought of exploring ever. With all its flaws intact, Swades was an out of box film for the actor and he excelled in it. This year, everyone is excited to see that same SRK in Raees and Fan. However, more than the films, it is his unconventional choices in recent times which are making us really proud of him. He is working in Gauri Shinde’s next with Alia Bhatt and an Anand L Rai film (allegedly). There were also rumours that the superstar is keen to be part of Imtiaz Ali’s next as well. The recent story at that front is that the actor is considering Ali’s film very seriously but apparently, hasn’t said yes to it.

    A daily today quoted a source saying, “He is yet to give his nod for the project. It will take some more time since he is busy with the shooting of Raees.” The source further told the daily that, “They have met a couple of times, but nothing has been finalised yet. When Shah Rukh gets a break from Raees shoot, he will sit with Imtiaz for the script narration.” When SRK was asked about the same earlier, he said, “We are friends, and sometimes we just want to know what we are thinking, not with me in these projects necessarily. So, Imtiaz and I have done this exercise many times. We both feel that one day we will come together for a film, and if that happens, it will be very nice. I would love to work with Imtiaz.”

  • For those saying SRKians are not saying anything about BB are idiots. Actually we are comparing an under performer(dilwale) with a bakwas performer(PRDP) and not with a Fluke. Lol
    You all seriously want us to compare DILWALE with a movie in which a so called megastar was overshadowed by a 6 year old girl. Lol
    You seriously wanna compare a critically thrashed movie with a critically acclaimed one. Lol
    You seriously wanna compare a movie which despite clashing with two biggies overseas one is BM and other is Star Wars is on verge to thrash the record of your classic like BB in overseas which released on 850 screens whereas Dilwale 753 screens. Lol

    Lastly you really wanna compare two movies in which one was solo release without clash without protests or hate camp etc and released over 4000+ screens in India(BB) with a movie which released in just 2650 screens in India with clash protests hate camps etc.

    Grow up kids. Our under performer doing better than yours at least in overseas.

    Wese I hope Raees and Fan are content oriented movies and get solo release. You will understand why we are SRKIANS.

    Bajrangi Bhaijaan easilyy had the highest footfalls in 2015 and also the highest this decade. Another Salman khan starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was second on the list and was the only other film to be above 2 crore. The top ten footfalls of 2015 are as follows.
     
    1. Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 3.55 crore
    2. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 2.28 crore
    3. Bajirao Mastani – 1.86 crore (expected)
    4. Dilwale – 1.55 crore (expected)
    5. Tanu Weds Manu Returns – 1.50 crore
    6. ABCD 2 – 1.22 crore
    7. Welcome Back – 1.09 crore
    8. Gabbar Is Back – 1.08 crore
    9. Baby – 89 lakhs
    10. Singh Is Bling – 83 lakhs
        
    All four Akshay Kumar starrers nearly made it into the top ten with only Brothers being just outside in 11th place. The top ten films sold 15.85 crore tickets and despite Bajrangi Bhaijaan being the highest for fourteen years it was still less than last year where the top ten sold 17 crore tickets apprx.
