New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan had one of the best years in the Hindi film industry in 2023. He started the year with a bang with Pathaan. The YRF spy-thriller earned over Rs 500 crore at the box office and became one of the biggest films of the year until SRK’s second release, Jawan.
The Atlee directorial also broke several box office records and grossed another easy Rs 500+ crore in India. Shah Rukh Khan also made a special appearance in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 before ending the year with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki. With 3 blockbuster releases in a single year, fans have taken to the internet to rank which was the actor’s best film of 2023.
Redditors took to r/bollywood, a community dedicated to Hindi films, to rate Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki on an innovative ‘Oye Hoye’ meter. One user in the comments section cried ‘Moye Moye’ about SRK’s cameo in Tiger 3. Reddit rates Dunki ‘Best Story’ Fans ranked Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki as the best story in comparison with Pathaan and Jawan.
A comment on the reddit post said, “Dunki has the best story by far (not saying that much), but Jawan is my favorite just because of its massy presentation. (sic)” Another read, “It’s the best film of the year along with 12th Fail. (sic)” Reddit rates Jawan as Box Office Winner Users commented in unison that director Atlee used Shah Rukh Khan’s star power perfectly in a film like Jawan.
A comment read that the film is a witness to the fact that box office numbers matter. Another comment presented the perfect comparison between SRK’s 3 films. For Pathaan, it said, “The film introduced a stylish new character in the YRF spy universe.
It had high octane action and a solid performance by SRK. Great music and BGM. Excellent cameo by Tiger.
Lots of repeat value. (sic)” For Jawan, the fan said, “Jawan comes next with its theme of anti corruption and some stylish action sequences. But it could have been so much better if they stayed focused on the story they started with and not make it a father-son revenge saga with that ridiculous Sanjay Dutt cameo in the climax and some bad music.
(sic)” In terms of Dunki, the user commented, “Dunki is the weakest of the lot in spite of having perhaps the most interesting story and the “life comes a full circle” theme. It lacks good humor, entertainment, and has weak performances and dialogues. Direction is underwhelming and the movie does not leave a mark.
Very uncharacteristic of a Hirani movie as I still rewatch scenes from MBBS, Lage Raho, 3 Idiots and even PK, both for their common elements and the drama/emotions. (sic)” Reddit rates Pathaan at the bottom of the lot Reddit rated Pathaan as the worst Shah Rukh Khan film of 2023. A user said that the film crossed the Rs 1000 crore mark at the box office only because of the ‘boycott hype’ and SRK’s return to the silver screen after a 4-year hiatus.
Calling the film trash, fans said that Pathaan missed the mark in terms of action and storytelling, especially when compared to the other two films. Reddit’s ‘Oye Hoye’ meter for SRK Films A comment under the reddit post debating the best film of Shah Rukh Khan in 2023 read, “Pathaan: Oye hoye; Jawan: Oye hoye hoye; Dunki: Oye hoye hoye hoye. (sic)” Other users agreed and said that this was the best way to rate the films.
Another user pointed out that the actor had a 4th film with his special appearance in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3. They said, “Tiger 3 (also a SRK film considering his cameo): Moye Moye. (sic)”.
