The 3 Khans Of Bollywood And The Total Overseas Box Office Collection Of Their Movies

Bollywood has been unanimously ruled by the Khan triumvirate since the 90s. While Aamir Khan and Salman Khan made their film debuts in the late 80s, Shah Rukh Khan debuted in the early 90s and since then there has been no looking back for them. The 3 have attained such a level of stardom that has never been seen before. Now, with all the Khans in their 50s, there were rumors that they will be foreshadowed by the new stars but all the naysayers have been proved wrong.

The box-office is still ruled by the Khans and it seems like, for the next 5 years, things are more or less likely to remain the same. Since the 2000s, there have been only five times when the highest grossing film o the year hasn't been a Khan film and if you will look at the top 10 highest earning films of each year since the Khans made their debut, you are going to find a couple of Khan films easily. 

Such is the rage of this famed trio that they have also acted as the flagbearers for the rise and popularity of Hindi cinema abroad. You name the country and chances are you are going to find fans of the Khans. While the whole world is familiar with the name of Shah Rukh Khan and the actor regularly features on the list of most recognized faces of the world, Aamir Khan has charmed countries such as China, Mexico and other countries from different continents. Salman Khan is super-famous in the middle east, central Asian and the subcontinent countries. 

Every year, the release of a Khan film is treated nothing less than a festival and with almost every release, the Khans break and establish new box-office records. Their films act as huge crowd pullers in the foreign markets and the list of highest grossing Bollywood films in the overseas markets is predominantly full of Khan's films. Here are the 3 Khans and the total overseas box-office collection of their films (all films taken are from 1994 and onwards, lead and supporting roles counted):

Shah Rukh Khan: The King of Bollywood has a fan following in hundreds of millions and people from all the countries eagerly await the release of his films. His films have earned a whopping 1861 Crores from the overseas markets alone. The sheer number speaks about the huge volume of business his films do at the overseas locations. 

Salman Khan: The Bhai of Bollywood has his fans all over the world and his films not only do well in India but in other countries as well. He has starred in 12 films since 2010 and all have grossed more than 100 Crores and his fan following is only increasing in number. His films have earned a record-breaking 1830 Crores in total from the overseas market.

Aamir Khan: The Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood has a humongous fan following in China, Hong Kong, and other south-east Asian markets. He does very few films when compared to his colleagues but all of his films are monstrous hits in the overseas box-office. His films have earned more than 3871 Crores in the overseas market (900 Crores by Secret Superstar and 1700 Crores by Dangal alone).
