Christmas is one of the biggest holiday periods. There have been many Bollywood films which have emerged as huge hits during Christmas and New Year weekend.
Aamir Khan has been the most successful actor during Christmas. Aamir has 4 All Time Grossers (most by any actor) to his name during the Christmas period.
The 100 cr, 150 cr, 200 cr, 250 cr, 300 cr and 350 cr clubs were opened by Aamir Khan during Christmas. Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3, PK and Dangal were the films which inaugurated these clubs.
Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani have delivered 2 huge blockbusters and record grossers during Christmas weekend.
Rajkumar Hirani has released 3 out of 5 films during Christmas and all of them have emerged huge hits at the Box Office. 20 years ago, Rajkumar Hirani made his debut on today’s date. Rajkumar Hirani arrived with a bang and gifted Indian Cinema with a timeless Masterpiece in the form of Munna Bhai MBBS.
After 20 years, Rajkumar Hirani is all set to release his 6th film during Christmas. Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan are arriving with their most awaited emotional drama film ‘Dunki’ on 21st December.
If Dunki turns out to be a trademark Hirani classic, then it will smash each and every existing record at the Box Office. Dunki also has a high possibility of opening a 600 cr club for Bollywood.
Shah Rukh Khan has ruled the year of 2023 like a king. He has become the only actor after legendary Raj Kapoor to deliver 2 All Time Grossers in a single year. Shah Rukh Khan has also become the only Bollywood actor to deliver back to back 500 cr films in India and back to back 1000 cr films worldwide.
