Biggest Films of the Three Khans: Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir—Who Came Closest to ₹1000 Crore?

For more than three decades, Bollywood has been ruled by three superstars—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. Popularly known as the “Three Khans,” their films often open to massive numbers and dominate the box office. Each of them has a unique identity—Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom, Salman Khan’s mass appeal, and Aamir Khan’s perfection-driven cinema.

Fans often debate who the biggest Khan is at the box office. While each has delivered historic blockbusters, not all of them have crossed the magical ₹1000 crore mark with a single film. Here’s a look at the biggest films of their careers so far.


Salman Khan: Bajrangi Bhaijaan Falls Just Short

Bollywood’s “Bhaijaan” Salman Khan is known for his massive fan following and festive blockbusters. However, none of his films have yet entered the ₹1000 crore club.

The biggest film of Salman Khan’s career remains Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which earned around ₹969 crore worldwide. Despite being a huge emotional and commercial success, the film narrowly missed the ₹1000 crore milestone. Fans are now hoping that his upcoming big-budget projects will finally push him into the elite club.


Shah Rukh Khan: Jawan Tops His Career

Bollywood’s “King Khan” made a thunderous comeback in 2023 by delivering not one but two films that crossed ₹1000 crore worldwide—Pathaan and Jawan.

Among them, Jawan stands as the biggest and most profitable film of Shah Rukh Khan’s career. The film performed exceptionally well both in India and overseas, proving that when strong content meets star power, box office history can be rewritten.


Aamir Khan: Dangal—An Unmatched Record

Known as “Mr. Perfectionist,” Aamir Khan has always been associated with record-breaking cinema. His film Dangal is not only the biggest film of his career but also the highest-grossing Indian film of all time.

Dangal earned over ₹2000 crore worldwide, a record no other Indian film has managed to surpass so far. The film’s extraordinary performance, especially in international markets, placed Aamir Khan at the very top in terms of box office achievements.
