Why post 2002, SRK can't repeat 2+ Cr Fooftalls more often?

Having more than 2 cr audience in Cinema Hall today is what makes you one of the Biggest Top 3 Superstar of this country having 130+ Cr population.

This 2+ Cr Tickets Sold is very hard to achieve, in early decade, legends had it consistently, post 90's decade it was common, now it is very common only with Salman & Aamir films. SRK comes along with Salman / Aamir when you talk about Top 3 Stars.

The time i am referring is after DEVDAS, SRK has crossed 2 Cr footfalls only 1nce with Chennai Express, else all his big hits are in 1-2 cr range only, couldn't crossed 2+ Cr. Have a look at this table:

1 - DDLJ - 4,79,71,000 - All Time Blockbuster - 1995

2 - KKHH - 3,56,58,000 - All Time Blockbuster - 1998

3 K3G - 3,11,73,000 - Blockbuster - 2001

4 Karan Arjun - 2,99,13,000 - Blockbuster - 1995

5 DTPH - 2,95,12,000 - Blockbuster - 1997

6 Mohabbatein - 2,67,23,000 - Blockbuster - 2000

7 Chennai Express - 2,52,27,000 - Blockbuster - 2013

8 Devdas - 2,05,53,000 - Hit - 2002

9 Pardes - 2,04,75,000 - Super Hit - 1997

Last decade there was no pressure of matching Salman's Records or crossing Aamir's ATGs which is in this decade, so why SRK when he was giving Big Blockbusters, couldn't raise the bar of his stardom & attract more than 2+ Cr ppl in Cinema Hall?

2000-2009 is considered to be SRK's decade, dominated by Him, but this figure shows a different picture.

Nahi munna, baat woh nahi ke CE ATG kitne din ke liye thi...

Topic ye hai ke SRK kion nahi 2 cr se jayda Audience la paaya in all these years.

2003 - 2017

Only 1 film above 2 cr - CE

Aisa kya ho gaya ke Log 2 Cr se kamm aane lag gaye SRK ki films mein? Jabki usey Media ne GLOBAL ICON banaya hai, Biggest India Superstar in the world.

Jab koi competition mein na ho, toh bhai Langda bhi Race jeet leta hai... he did had that decade, but without Much Big Box Office... what could when u can't get 2+ Cr footfalls...

Even this decade, he is struggling, last year 2 films & both below 1 cr.

Cause in 2002 Aamir/Salman both had strong personal problems and SRK was competing with Bobby Deol and Vivek Oberoi 😆😆

Did you see his interview with Masand ? He seemed to have been going through a transformation of sorts during the 2000s I think where earning money as an actor mattered less to him than as a producer.
I seriously don't think he is in the numbers game anymore. He is in the money game and that is why he is on the Forbes list pretty much every year.

ETA: He said in the interview any money he earns is being poured right into the business and he is financing and making the movies he wants to make. His wife even said to do so when he quoted a rather significant sum he may lose during Ra One. His family is financially secure and for that he had to do certain kinds of films for numbers.

i agree with this! he has lost his passion for movies and it shows in the type of work he does...he seems more focused and passionate on Red chillies VFX and KKR... i respect the businessman in him, but not the actor who should be equally passionate about the type of work he does 😳
