Is Aamir Khan Emerging As The New Bollywood Overseas Box Office King?
There is no doubt that all three Khans - Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan are global superstars. They have a huge fan following and while ever since the time of 90s and 2000s, the overseas box office has always been ruled by Shah Rukh Khan, there seems to be a recent shift into this trend. While the overseas performance of the films matters equally to know its global standing, it has been quite clear that the Top 10 Overseas or take Top 20 Overseas has majorly SRK movies with million dollars collections in it.
The Koimoi Top 10 Overseas List currently has 5 SRK movies. The list had 8 SRK movies untilKabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Om Shanti Om and Ra.One were evicted paving way for Kick, Bang Bang and the recent biggie PK.
After 2014, Aamir Khan now has 3 movies, Shah Rukh has 5 movies and 1 film for Salman and Hrithik each. SRK with 5 movies in Top 10 now and around approximately 10 movies in Top 20 may have occupied 50% of the movie count. But if you see the numbers that the list shows up recently Aamir Khan has 3 movies and each have collected more than USD 20 Million at the Overseas Box Office and if PK crosses the collection of My Name is Khan, the top 3 in Koimoi Overseas Top Box Office will be Aamir Khan movies. Dhoom 3 : USD 28 million, 3 Idiots USD 26 million and PK USD 24 million *(estimated) which totals up to mammoth USD 78 million + at overseas box office.
