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.
@ Rakesh Roshan :
Another Bhojpuri has arrived !
You idiot , we are talking about Overseas record .
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!!
@thephenom u r actually out of ur mind….. The tag bhojpuri complectly suit u people as u dont hav brain bcoz ur ideal srk himself dissapointed with dilwale collection….
What d hell u r talking abt oversea??? There was a time when srk used to rule oversea but now its complectly amir khan territory. …. Srk got d benifit of yrf & karan johar some extent to even kajol…….
Yrf & dharma can make 100 srk best example is ranveer & varun…….
Srk declined started from 2008 simply bcoz couldnt get d suppkrt frm yrf & dharma….
@The phenom. sorry idiots. I accept my mistake that I think you little bit literate but you proved to be a born idiot.
Talaash domestic – 93cr, Overseas – 9 million.
that time gross was 54cr. Indian gross were around 120cr. so total worldwide gross was 174cr. If going by your theory, let took your fav official figures. CE 227cr + overseas 19.5 million= 123-124cr as per exchange rate that time. Total 352-353cr. Than how can CE crossed 400cr. You dont even know how the Gross,net and overseas collection consider and how the WW gross counts. And you are here talking about crores. Pata chawanni Ka nahi, baatein Crores ki kar raha h idiot.
@Phenom, your logic is as dead as your streak.where did you mention overseas in your comment? and btw Salman’s BB crossed the collection of every single SRK film overseas.But if that isn’t a hit, then I guess the expectations for Salman films are just too high.
@phenom, ETT, BB, PRDP, KICK all got into the overseas top 10 at the time of release. but yeah for you idiots he’s struggling. I admit srk is bigger overseas but it just took Salman, the so called local star, one universally appealing film to go past his overseas dominance. so don’t get too arrogant here.
@ Sky :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Express
See the chart on right hand side . It’s clearly written 396 cr .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talaash:_The_Answer_Lies_Within
Now see this chart . It’s clearly written 136 cr .
I might be an idiot , but please explain this .
@ Marshall :
It’s your problem if you don’t read my previous comment and suddenly pick a line from one of my comments . We were clearly talking about OS collection .
SRK is back with “Tu Nahin Samjhega” Forever – FAN | Shah Rukh Khan

great film ahead, Will u post about this series ? @indicine
@Venom Your fake comments wont change the fact that talaash’s worldwide collections were 176 Cr. If not then Ra.one didn’t cross 100 Cr in India and its world wide collections were nit even 150 Cr. Flopwale didnt cross 300 Cr worldwide. talaash was a clean hit. Talaash crossed 176 Cr and that’s the fact. SRK wouldn’t have crossed even 100 Cr worldwide if he did talaash at that same time.
