Happy Birthday Shah Rukh Khan: The undisputed box office records of the Baadshah of Bollywood

Shah Rukh Khan aka King Khan of Bollywood has turned 54 today. SRK proved that age is just a number and you can remain forever young just like him. From the past two and a half decades, Shah Rukh Khan has taught every generation the true essence of romance. He became the dream man of every girl and woman on the planet. Apart from his romantic side, the actor also impressed us with his versatility in films like Raees and Fan. With his supreme stardom, Shah Rukh Khan has created huge benchmarks at the box office, which will be almost impossible for any of its competitors.

Happy New Year: Highest opening day ever

2014's Happy New Year is the perfect example to show why SRK is called the king of marketing. Despite being a masala-entertainer with no logic, the film registered the highest opening day figures for a Bollywood film. The movie collected a whopping Rs 44.97 crore on its first day at the box office. It's been more than three years of this film's release and many biggies hit the screens but failed to beat its opening record. That's the star power of Shah Rukh Khan which attracts every generation of the audience towards the cinema halls.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: Longest running film

1995's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge aka DDLJ gave Shah Rukh Khan the tag of 'King of Romance.' The mesmerising chemistry between Raj and Simran aka SRK and Kajol is still like a breath of fresh air for the audience. The romantic drama broke the record of the iconic Sholay to become the longest running cinema ever in the history of the entertainment industry. It's more than 23 years and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is still running in Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theatre. Earlier the theater investors had planned to end its run, but due to enormous public response, they cancelled their decision.

With these two records, we can definitely say that Shah Rukh Khan is the ultimate combination of his own films which earns well and run for a longer time at the box office.
