As Jab Tak Hai Jaan looks to somehow trundle past 100 crores at the domestic box office, one wonders what’s wrong with Shah Rukh Khan.

With constantly increasing number of screens and ticket prices, every big film is likely to achieve that.

Rivals are creating new and newer records and earning audience’s love, his films seem to be failing on both counts

Overseas earnings which are mostly due to a wider release as compared to other films.

Being happy with overseas numbers without making any impact on the audiences back home is quite meaningless as far as somebody’s impact as a star is concerned

Note: Hits include My Name Is Khan, Ra.One and Don 2 on the basis of their overall collection and Flops don’t include his guest appearances. All flops have Shah Rukh as a lead or as an important character in a multi-starrer. There can be a disagreement on

one or two films but more or less this is the picture.
