For certain renowned indian film artists who have captivated audiences for decades but have been experiencing a decline in recent years, 2023 is shaping up to be a spectacular year. In 2017, megastar chiranjeevi had a triumphant comeback with khaidi No. 150, but after that, none of his films were able to find success at the box office. One of the worst blows to his four-decade career was specifically Acharya.
But during this year's Sankranthi, chiranjeevi once again demonstrated his perseverance at the box office with Waltair Veerayya. The movie continues to be 2023's biggest success and highest earner. For over ten years, Shah Rukh Khan, the baadshah of Bollywood, has been producing duds and underachievers.
He took a five-year pause to reinvent himself after his 2018 film zero turned out to be a massive failure. On social media, there were rumors that SRK was done. But the king made a triumphant comeback in january with the release of Pathaan, one of the biggest box office hits in hindi film history with a worldwide total of more than 1000 crores. Jawan, his upcoming movie, is much awaited as well.
It's interesting to note that, with Vikram, legend Kamal Haasan finally produced a tremendous box office hit. However, it was last year. Now it's superstar Rajinikanth's chance to return with a bang in Nelson's Jailer. At the ticket desks for advance reservations, the movie is receiving an excellent reaction. Not just in india but also in the USA, pre-sales are booming.
The intriguing trailer, Tamannaah's song, and seeing Rajinikanth in his classic aura have all contributed to the audience's enthusiasm for Jailer. If the reviews are favourable, Rajinikanth will finally experience a great success after a long absence, making 2023 a memorable year for him as well.
