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.
SLB sent SRK to Coma, Before clash SRK fans says SLB in Coma After clash SRK is in Coma. What Fun Yaar..!
@pokemon but the problem with srk underperformer is those r his 2nd and 3rd highest grosser and his first highest grosser did 100 cr less than salmans and aamirs highest grosser
And with regard to filmfare ranveer deserved it and he got it , lol we r realistic not like 300 cr which srk fans said about dilwale, well at least he did half , oh no wait he didn’t:P
@indicine what the he’ll the article was it
Now twitter posts of a flop star is being a news to defend srk. U never post twitter handle of Legends like aamir and Salman
Srk fans have a new logic which is laughable, so since bajrangi was a critically aclaimed movie u can’t compared to dilwale . It’s not that we asked him to to Dilwale , he did it on his own with A lister director and A lister actors and bundled below 150 . A movie is a movie stop using dumb logic u can’t compare to this and u can compare to only this . A bollywood movie is a bollywood movie subject to comparison with every other bollywood movie and FYI bajrangi had a bigger comparison in basu bahubali which is a bigger grosser then BM and dilwale had 5 open weeks with 3 holidays and bajrangi had 1 with 2 open weeks only with drisham releasing which was an amazing movie
Just accept it guys that this was a bad year for srk and move on for next year .
Salman did 500 cr in india and 1000 cr worldwide in a period of 3 months
Let’s hope srk does nice movies next year and tries to break that record
@TheForceAsleeps hahaha going by your logic The Laash was a disaster and so was Jai Ho. Lol
Dude or aunty whatever you are HNY was an under performer because it had extremely negative WOM same goes for PRDP Dilwale and even Jai Ho. But what about The Laash uske sath Chamatkar kaise ho gya Box Office pe.
And D3 solo release India’s biggest franchise widest release at that time Critics didn’t thrash it bt gave average reviews(better than CE PRDP DILWALE JAI HO) highest ticket price at that time and Christmas benefit due to solo release. Beta aukaat me raho. You’re Aamir Fan okk I have sympathy for you but still don’t lose all your senses and at least use some logic
Srk release ur film apart frm diwali Christmas or eid den see n release a film like baby widout songs let’s see Wat ll b d collection n Wat clash n negativity dilwale released during d best period dat is Christmas n new year n still distributors lost 30, 40 percent. Accept d fact dat Srk had Burnt his finger n his hand’s of poor distributors too.
Is @Sush the same person with @javed? identical comment?

What more any1 ll want n all commercial films wid huge n wide release n did all d trick back in 2012 not allotting screen space to Ajay devgan by using salman ek tha tiger of yash raj n again wid akshay once upon a time wid Chennai express on 15 August
And den came ranveer singh n showed him his place if no tricks r played who ll win previously he did all marketing n others dint paid much attention n result was don n jaaneman 2006 now if he has guts release raaes wid sultan n salman will too promote it aggressively.
Sultan se pagal legal toh raees nahi bhi kari ki halat hogi.
Don’t worry haters Raees and Fan both will collect more than Avtar for sure
SRK is not just the biggest star on earth but also on mars,moon,Pandora and many more
@ Sky :
1. No SRK fan expected Dilwale to cross 300 cr . If some ‘intelligent’ people like you expect that kind of numbers , then that’s your problem – not ours . Yes we expected 200 cr – but considering the no. of factors against Dilwale , 150 cr is still a big no. – especially when we think about some so called superstar struggling to cross 90 cr in 2012 …!
2. So what’s the problem if we compare Dilwale with Talaash ? Both of their screen count is almost the same . Yes Dilwale had higher ticket prices but it also faced a clash . Even after that , Dilwale Domestic collections are more than Talaash worldwide figures …! Lol
I honestly feel stars are given too much of importance. Success or failure of any movie depends upon too many factors.
Narendra Modi beat SRK on twitter fan following
now indicine why are not publishing an article about this ?
because modi is not ur favorite SRK is ur favorite
this is really unfair with others
otherwise ur site is damn awesome site
Indicine it is my humble request and plea to delete all comments having @Deepak Kaur id except 2 months ago. All those comments of mine written by a chameleon within this last 10 days are not mine. The reply I gave @Sunny Chechi is not mine too. Some people took advantage of my absent. I frequently read the article but seldomly comment. I am a Salmaniac but respect the khan’s Roshan Devgn. I bash Ajay that time because of Ajay rocks but let me show you some evidence for not trusting @Sunny Chechi.
One of my last comment.
http://www.Indicine.com/movies/bollywood /prakash -jha -to-direct -rajneeti -2/comment-page-3/ (reference A.)
Now read the so call reply according to sumnyakkiholic that I gave him.
http://www.Indicine.com/movies/bollywood /askindicine-live-qna-at-7pm/comment-page-13 /comments. (reference B).
Visit Badshaoo shooting commence tomorrow article 2days back and read my chameleon words. Again @Sunny Akkiholic posting a reply I gave him on Ajay.
I know I have been harsh on Ajay for sometimes but it’s @Ajay rock whowas misunderstood by me made me bashing 3 months ago.
Refrence A I clearly warned @Sunny Akkiholic not to persuade me to bash Ajay. I told him my bashing Ajay is personal reason (Ajay rocks). At the end of my comment I told @Sunny Akkiholic he should take it to be a promotion if Akshay is being compared to Ajay in terms of acting I also told him Ajay is an established actor just after the Khan’s.
Now reference B a fake me @Deepak Kaur after 2 months absent according to @Sunny Akkiholic I replied to him Ajay is nobody compared to Akshay? Indicine I am a man of my words how can I say Ajay for me is after can and better actor than Akshay and then after 2 months I degrade Ajay? That’s what made me clarify to everybody that @Deepak who appears of recent bashing Ajay in every comment is fake not me! we all know how @Sunny unnecessary bash Ajay so it was not hard for me to know whose job that was. Also observe on reference A Rajneeti 2 article. @Sunny Akkiholic naively used @Sandeep name to bash Ajay after 5 minutes he used his name but identical comment.
Indicine please you are a respected movie site and am sure your honour and prestige should be kept intact so please warn multiple users to stop all these. Check my email address as of two months with this recent Deepak Kaur who just comes out to bash Ajay. compare the ids. I hope my comment is posted so that anyone who wants to use multiple ids will think twice. God knows the hatred @Sunny Akkiholic has for Ajay. It’s a pity and a sickness. Thank you Admin.
Admin kindly re ascertain my websites
it’s accurate but only half showing red ink
His under performer also better than the rest
This reminds me of FAN teaser SRK’s interview… that..
Its not the successes that i counts its the failure that i wants to overcome!
@sky , yes you are absolutely right !!!!!
Dilwale didn’t face any protest !!!
Dilwale didn’t face any clash !!!!!
Dilwale collected 150 crore as solo release.
@Phenomenal clown, at least Aamir has guts to fo offbeat thriller like talaash without backing of only big holidays and relying on big banners, big actresses like deepika and extra promotions. I challenge so called consistent controversial hit giving star to do out and out off beat dark thriller like talaash and release on non holiday period with same number of screens as aamir’s talaash released and with same ticket prices. I bet you, forget 90 Cr it wont even cross 60 Cr life time even if it releases now or 2 years afterwards. Now hr has aryan fanatic, and bhojpuri rice coming up the so called content rich, lets see weather he can cross 100 Cr without any promotions and against mighty sultan?
@rew your name suits your comments.. Secondly Who said Aamir didn’t promote The Laash.. I still remember he started a campaign against cyber crime.. Went to shows etc. No more excuses for The Laash just do its cremation.
And Dilwale has performed poorly accepted but only in India and those who deny the fact that it underperformed because of less screens protests and poor SS quality in India are morons and nothing else.
And FAN is a movie without song but baby had two songs one was Main Tujhse Pyaar Nahi Karta and the other one was in the climax. The Laash also had songs and they all were hits. FAN just has a promotional Song nothing else. So we all will see whether it slaps your face with a 150+ cr in India or kicks your butts with 200+ cr in India.
@indicine your overseas figures are inaccurate. Kindly check. And please post this comment
Dilwale is Unstoppable in Malaysia. 5th weekend Update:
It collected 1.7 MYR in its 5th weekend which is more than Previous weekend.
.
Its Business over the weekend.
1st weekend 10 screens $39,339
2nd weekend 22 screens $140,503
3rd weekend 26 screens $272,204
4th weekend 39 screens $311,356
5th weekend ————– $399,211
.
Total till now is $2,634,371 (2nd Highest till date just behind Endhiran – $3.04 mil approx). BUT interms of Malaysia currency Its already Highest Grosser.
.
In Malaysian currecncy
Dilwale – 11.59 MYR
Enthiran – 9.5 MYR.
But its just that now in current times Malaysia currency and Dollars Exchange have differences compared to 2010 Ratio.
.
Lifetime is looking around $4.5 mil. So Dlwale has chances of doing $27 mil too or may touch Bajrangi Bhaijaan first phase record too ($28.23 mil) If Malaysia goes in this pace.
@ Ra1 :
/* offbeat thriller like talaash without backing of only big holidays and relying on big banners, big actresses like deepika and extra promotions */
Bla Bla Bla Bla Blah …!
Now I know the meaning of ‘Excusewaale’ , Lol …!
@Sagar, it’s not first time, whenever srk came without YRF or Dharma that were flopped, Mayamemsab, Rajubangayagentleman, etc etc.
@True SRKian, forget about BB, our Kick, ETT and PRDP is enough for your actor’s top highest grossers
CE 226 – Kick 233
HNY 204 – PRDP 213
Dilwale 148 – ETT 199
so stop barking.
@Raees King Khan, that news is good for all of you SRKian, bcz after defeat at box office you need twitter to forget all these things.
@The Venom, before release of Ra1, Don2, JTHJ, CE, HNY, Dilwale u were saying that these are classic action films and again before watching film u are saying that Raees is content oriented film.LOL
and min silence for u…..
@The phenom, I have already told you correct your stastics. Talaash worldwide was 174cr which was just 40cr short than srk Jthj & Ra1 worldwide but wait doesnt srk solo don 2 was behind 180cr in ww figure than Aamir last Christmas release 3i back then.Dilwale screen counts were 3000+ with masala genre, while Talaash was with 2500/-. Dilwale had clash no doubt but I think you forget that the clash was nothing for srk when it supposed to thrash Bajirao, the zoner & multihero cast with highly successful director is added.I don’t think I need to remember your absense in Dilwale & BM bo related article for 2 weeks. When talaash released Aamir highest grosser in domestic was at 202cr, while srk ra 1 stand at 120cr. His 6 days extended weekend holiday jthj which has equal screen count collected only 101cr at domestic. Aamir film talaash collected very good on that scenerio.
The success of Aamir Tallash can be seen that ever since Talaash all the films of late Nov- early dec are struggling to collect 50cr but on Christmas Aamir releases without clash like D3 & pk collecting 250cr + easily and srk struggling to collect 159cr. And when will 150cr is higher than > 174 cr. Oh sorry don’t except logic from srk fans, they lacks.
Bechara srk even with last 6 holiday releases srk struggled to cross 400cr ww, even passed 3i ww of 392 only once. oh sorry without Kajol he strughling to reach 20 million $ in overseas forget 3i lifetime there. So called king of overseas having 3.7 billion fans.
No need to troll srkians they are enough to troll their kind that’s why srk took break after Diwale disaster performance in domestic market. Ranveer be hara diya, uski stardom to Varun k barabar bhi nahi this.
Srk fans not predicted 300cr, go and check the previous Dilwale articles before it released. While they were dreaming 300cr with hny. After all #hnybestfilmever. Poor srktards.
@Aliul, ur actor Copy to Dilip Kumar and u r saying that ur know how to act ? LOL.
Waise bhi us waqt Award achche performance wale ko milta tha, par us waqt bhi award controversial that kyun ke Mughal-E-Azam ko ek bhi Awrd nahi mila tha.
aur ye baat to sab ko pata hai SRK award kharidta tha I mean hai. Tujhe bhi dimagh nahi hai sochne ke liye, jaise har SRK fans ke paas nahi hota hai.
soch bina award kharide hi Salman ke paas MegaStardom hai. to agar wo achchha acting karta to uska MegaStardom level kya hota… SRK uska Bodyguard banna pasand karta. Chhhor ab aa dusre baat pe, acting ki baat karega to SRK se achcha to main salman ko maanta hun, kyun ke kam se kam Salman real acting karta hai OverActing aur copy paste of Dilip Kumar nahi. Aamir Khan ke paas SRK se kam Award hai iska matlab ye nahi hai ke SRK acting mein SRK se chhota hai, Aamir ke jaisa acting Is Bollywood mein na kiya hai aur na kar payega. Dilip ji filmy style mein acting karte they, Rajesh ji jhooti hasi haste the aur SRK ki kya baat karu Copy paste of Dilip ji, Amitabh ji bhi Thori filmy style mein beh gaye.
Final comment @Sunny implicated himself
