In India also Shahrukh's movies do better in multiplexes than in single screens...

I don't know how to say this...I hope no one is offended...but do the educated people like him more than the less educated one...I am not saying that educated people are better or anything...but just trying to understand...whay ceratin group would like masala more and the other group likes romantic/family dramas more...

Its more because his movies are more geared towards "women". You'll hardly find guy fans for SRK like Salman or Bachchan before him. Single screen's are dominated by men while multiplexes by women and families. The same happens "overseas". Since its mostly families they prefer watching a family oriented drama. SRK is the king of romance and romance is always going to appeal more to women.

I think Chak De in general opened poorly but caught on with excellent WOM and raving reviews, definitely in India it opened poorly.

In my theater, second day first show, it was mostly empty, but by the next week, I heard people were fighting for seats. 😆

really ????? and i watched this movie on first day and there were hardly 15 ppl in the theater and that's why i always believed this movie was flop overseas and it was actually flop and I love this SRK movie a lot and this one actually didn't work overseas

i think he is popular bcz when overseas market started growing up ( DDLJ times ) it was SRK romance time and NRI audience always loved romantic movies and specially YRF and Kjo movies and being the hero of such movies he became popular overseas ... now days other kind of movies too work but romantic movies r always the priority for overseas audience ...

there you go choco...same here.😆

btw...i saw chak de 3x on big screen. what a movie.

Chak De's promos were boring and no romance kept away a lot of the fans initially. Plus women and sports...you get the picture? 😆 I was determined to watch though, especially with raving reviews. 😆

Hahaha my dad grumbled so much when I dragged him off to watch CDI (my sister was like "hockey, how boring!" and refused to come so my mother had to stay behind with her)...and at the end, he was like that was AWESOME, we should go watch again and he hates Shah! 😆

My theater was too far away at that time, or I would have watched more times on big screen..but I've seen it so many times since..such an awesome girl power movie and HOW did Shah deliver na? 🥳 LOVED every second of it!

I agree. All the ladies from 5yrs kiddo to 80 yrs old women love SRK and his wit.😳 SRK has his female fans ,like Salman has his male fans.After a point good sense prevails and male fans stop idolizing Salman but ladies still love SRK.. 😆 N all the ladies drag their family to watch SRK's movies.😆

You calling us women stupid? 😆

Hahah, no wonder the men hate Shah...poor them are dragged to theaters to watch a bunch of romance flicks because of their wives/GF's/daughters/ etc. 😆
