Bollywood fans and their affection towards certain on-screen pairs has been phenomenal. Be it the greatest pair of all time – Raj Kapoor & Nargis or Dilip Kumar and Madhubala. Or be it the greatest pair of the 90s, Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol, or the one film wonder – Salman Khan & Aishwarya Rai. Be it today’s best, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, or Varun Dhawan & Alia Bhatt. Be it the unconventional pair of Ajay Devgn & Tabu or the short-lived pair of Hrithik Roshan & Kareena Kapoor Khan. All of them are usually compared with their real-life couples, and the ones who have borne the brunt of this unfair comparison throughout their careers have been Ajay Devgn & Kajol.
The on-screen turned off-screen couple and their chemistry have always been pitted against Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Now, there is no denying the fact that SRK-Kajol is the GOAT! And their effortless chemistry has always won hearts more than Ajay Devgn and Kajol. So, is there a point comparing their box offices even?
Ajay Devgn and Kajol have worked together on 9 films and two films where Ajay came on board as the producer. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have worked together in 7 films. So here is a detailed scorecard of the two on-screen couples and who is leading where.
As an on-screen pair, Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol made their debut first in 1993 with Baazigar. The film, in which Shah Rukh Khan played an anti-hero, collected 7.75 crore in its lifetime. Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn and Kajol made their debut as a pair in 1995 with Hulchul, which tanked at the box office, collecting 5.62 crore.
The Highest Grosser
Interestingly, Ajay Devgn and Kajol win this round, with Tanhaji, their best, registering 279.50 crore at the box office. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s highest-grosser Dilwale, collected 148 crore in its lifetime.
Comparison of the Bests
While Tanhaji opened lower than Dilwale, its first Sunday was better than Dilwale’s. Tanhaji collected 15.10 crore on day 1, 20.57 crore on day and 26.26 crore on the third day. Meanwhile, Dilwale collected 21 crore on day 1, 20.09 crore on day, and 24 crore on the third day. Still, Dilwale’s first weekend (65.09 crore) stood higher than Tanhaji’s (61.93 crore). Interestingly, both of them are the last films of the two couples. Neither did SRK & Kajol work together after Dilwale, nor did Ajay Devgn and Kajol unite on screen after Tanhaji.
