Explained: Why 2023 will be a gamechanger for Shah Rukh Khan

The Badshah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan has been away from the silver screen for almost four years as he was last featured in Aanand L Rai's Zero, which was a box office debacle. In recent years, SRK's films have performed below the mark as his last bonafide hit was Happy New Year, which released in 2014. Post that movies like Raees, Dilwale, Jab Harry Met Sejal and his last movie Zero, garnered mixed reviews from fans and industry experts.

However, after a gap of four years, the megastar of the Hindi film industry is gearing up to give us a triple treat as not one or two but three films featuring SRK will hit the screens in 2023, which are Pathaan (25th January), Jawan (2nd June) and Dunki (22nd December). And these films are expected to be gamechangers for the megastar due to these reasons...

Collaboration with blockbuster filmmakers

For all his three films, SRK has joined hands with blockbuster filmmakers. While Pathaan is directed by Salaam Namaste, Bang Bang and War helmer Siddharth Anand, Jawan marks the Bollywood debut of Tamil director Atlee, who delivered box office spinners in the form of Raja Rani, Theri, Mersal and Bigil. For Dunki, the actor has collaborated with Rajkumar Hirani, who delivered memorable films like Munnabhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai, 3 Idiots, PK and Sanju. Well, the combo of SRK with these filmmakers, will surely set the box office on fire, isn't it?

Pan-India appeal

Out of his three films, Pathaan and Jawan will have a pan-India release. While the Sidharth Malhotra directorial will also be released in Tamil and Telugu, the Atlee actioner will hit the screens in the dubbed versions of  Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. The wide release of these films will help them to get a great boost at the ticket windows.

Big-ticket experience

The common factor between these three films is that they are masala entertainers and worth your time and attention. While Jawan and Pathaan are set stylish actioners with grand scale, Dunki is expected to be a trademark Hirani film with an ample dose of humour and entertaining elements.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great

Studying women presidents and prime ministers on screen, from Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up to Dimple Kapadia in A Thursday

In 2016, when I heard Hillary Clinton had lost the US Presidential race to Donald Trump, I took it as a confirmation that this is how much the US hated its women. And I felt temporarily gratified to live in a country which elected a woman as its third prime minister. This was before I remembered Indira Gandhi was the only woman prime minister we have had, and she was an outlier. Her strong and uncompromising leadership style skews meaningful analysis of gender representation in governance. Anyway, for all the breaking of paths and glass ceilings, trailblazers like Gandhi and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher commonly belong to conservative or traditional parties. Left to the simultaneously imaginative and mimetic art of comedy, the first woman US president looks like Meryl Streep’s Janine Orlean in Don’t Look Up and Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer in the HBO show Veep . They are both are anti-feminists and women of power. Yet they could not be more different in how they reflect the r

Netflix's Lupin acknowledges dangers of fantasies of omnipotence, introducing viewers to a socially conscious gentleman thief

By Emma Bielecki Netflix’s immensely successful new French-language show Lupin has introduced a new generation of anglophone viewers to one of the most popular characters in French popular fiction, Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Lupin was created in 1905 by the writer Maurice Leblanc at the behest of publisher Pierre Lafitte, who had recently launched a general interest magazine, Je Sais Tout . Lafitte wanted a serial that would guarantee a loyal readership for his magazine, as the Sherlock Holmes stories had for the Strand Magazine. Drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle and EW Hornung’s Raffles stories, Leblanc obliged by creating a flamboyant and ultimately always benign trickster figure. Cat burglar, con artist, master of disguise, Lupin is also a brilliant detective and righter of wrongs. His appeal has proved enduring: in addition to the original 20 volumes of stories authored by Leblanc, there have been countless plays, radio shows, TV series and films, from Italian pornos
