Haters will absolutely say something obnoxious but for anyone else (you don’t have to be SRK’s fan) this comeback of the King is humongous! To think of it, an almost 60 hero who is still a rage among young cinema lovers is a big deal, a great feat, an impossible dream for most actors. Shahrukh has reinvented himself time and again. He has experimented with movies so much that you can consider him a cinematic experiment!
Often he has been ridiculed for his over-the-top acting skills, film choices, and other things. But one must admit that a middle-class man coming this far is no less than a fairy tale. The way he sheds his image and creates a new one is no less how a Phoenix rises from its ashes each time it is supposed to die.
Shahrukh Khan is often mentioned as the ‘Badshah of Bollywood’ and with Jawan, he proved again why his fans adore him so deeply. The response received on the opening day of the movie itself was huge. Jawan has the biggest opening day worldwide in the history of Hindi cinema! In just two days it has grossed a worldwide collection of over Rs. 240 crores!
Age is only a number, they say. Shahrukh proved it. He is Jawan at 57 and going to stay in the hearts of cinema lovers for a long period.
