3. Jawan & Pathaan (2023)

• Impact: These two Shah Rukh Khan-starrers revitalized the industry in 2023, with Jawan briefly holding the record for the highest-grossing original Hindi film worldwide (excluding Dangal‘s China run) before being overtaken by Dhurandhar.

4. Secret Superstar (2017)

• Overseas Phenomenon: Despite a modest domestic run (₹63 crore net), it remains one of the highest grossers globally due to an extraordinary ₹800+ crore collection in China, proving the massive pull of Aamir Khan in that market.
