The 7-year-long record of Aamir Khan’s Dangal has been broken by Shahrukh Khan’s Pathaan. This makes us look at how Aamir Khan has been on the top and undefeated for the last 14 years at the box office with films like Ghajini, 3 Idiots, PK, and Dangal. Time and again, Aamir Khan has made and broken his own records and finally, this time around, someone else broke his record. When Ghajini was released in 2008, we didn't know that Aamir Khan would defeat his numbers and break his records by delivering the timeless 3 Idiots. At this point in the beginning of the 2010s, the audience had begun to anticipate Aamir Khan breaking his records.

Taking to social media, renowned critic and film trade analyst Sumit Kadel pens down his thought on how Aamir Khan has managed to remain on the top of the game for last 14 years. He writes “I had a sudden realization: After delivering different films in the last 14 years, Aamir Khan has held the position of serving the highest-grossing Hindi film and now SRK takes that position from him with #Pathaan.”

In another thread, he further continued “Ghajini was the first to cross 100 cr, 3 idiots the first 200 cr, PK was the first 300-crore film & then Dangal was the first Hindi film that nearly touched 400 crs. So after fourteen years for the first time, a NON-Aamir Khan film will sit on the top. How incredible is that.”
