Shah Rukh Vs Salman Vs Aamir: Guess Who’s Maintaining The Best Box Office Average Right Now!
It’s kind of mandatory to prepare a comprehensive Khan report every few years is what we feel. While Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir are all chasing three different tracks, the data however shows what’s working and what’s not working for them. In the last three years the box office tables have turned like it’s nobody’s business. Who would have thought Shah Rukh Khan at this junction of his career would dip down with every movie of the last three years. The last time he scored 200 crores plus with his movie was Happy New Year in 2014 and then it’s been downhill.
Nobody could have thought Salman Khan would deliver a box office flop right after Sultan that did 300 crores at the domestic box office. But as it turns out, he did.
One the other hand we have Aamir Khan who is always in a league of his own. Doing lesser films and making more money.
So as we compared box office data of the three Khans from 2014, here’s how the picture shaped:

So there you go! When it comes to maintaining the best average, Aamir Khan is far ahead of the other two Khans but it also has to be considered that he’s doing far lesser films too. While both Shah Rukh and Salman have done six films each from 2014, Aamir has only done two. Whatever it is, the comparison reflects a lot of interesting analysis.
