A fantastic year for Shah Rukh Khan!
After the debacle of Zero in 2018, Shah Rukh took a break of 4 long years and made a comeback that no one ever imagined.

If the blast of Pathaan was not enough, Shah Rukh Khan raised the bar with Jawan by leaving his own historic success, Pathaan, behind by a huge distance. Right from the opening day to the lifetime collection, Jawan shattered all previous records and inaugurated the 600 crore club for Bollywood.
As mentioned above, both Pathaan and Jawan turned out to be huge box office successes. Despite the heavy budget, both these films managed to earn a profit of over 100%, which is commendable.
