Aamir Khan tops the charts beating Shah Rukh Khan in the International box office!
Of the top five B-Town grossing films on the international market, three belong to Aamir Khan.
It’s a know fact that Shah Rukh Khan has always been an International icon due his fan followers abroad. His movies always make more money than any other Indian actor. SRK’s films even do well in non-traditional markets not just the UK and US. While his supremacy in international markets overall remains unchallenged, Aamir Khan’s seem to be edging close.
In fact, Aamir Khan has been leading among the three Khans (Aamir, SRK & Salman). Of the top five grosses on foreign shores, the top three are PK, Dhoom:3 and 3 Idiots. All featuring Aamir. They were followed by SRK’s Happy New Year and Chennai Express. The equation seems to be changing in the overseas market. The figures clearly state that Aamir’s recent releases have been favored more by the audience abroad in recent times.
On the domestic front, PK has collected around Rs.340 crore, making it the biggest hit of Hindi cinema of all time. With his last film, Aamir broke the record previously held by SRK’s all-time highest grosser Chennai Express, which had displaced Aamir’s 3 Idiots.
Aamir is now exploring newer territories and non-traditional markets to expand his reach. 3 Idiots opened the territories of China and Japan, which have been witnessing more Bollywood film releases.
