Imagine a celebration so grand it spans 30+ cities, 75+ cinemas, and two whole weeks—all to honor one man. But here's where it gets even more extraordinary: this isn't just any man; it's Bollywood's undisputed king, Shah Rukh Khan, whose 60th birthday is about to be marked with a nationwide film festival that promises to be nothing short of magical. And this is the part most people miss—it's not just a celebration of his age, but a tribute to his unparalleled cinematic legacy, fresh off his National Award win for Jawan.
PVR INOX, one of India's premier cinema exhibitors, is rolling out the red carpet for this special event starting October 13, 2025. The festival will showcase Shah Rukh Khan's most iconic films, giving fans a rare chance to relive his journey on the big screen. From heart-wrenching dramas to high-octane action, this lineup has something for every SRK enthusiast.
But what does Shah Rukh Khan himself think about this grand gesture? In his own words, he shared, “Cinema has always been my home, and seeing these films find their way back to the big screen feels like a beautiful reunion. These movies are not just my stories, they belong to the audience that have lovingly embraced them over the last 33 years. I am grateful to PVR INOX for celebrating this journey with such love, and to Red Chillies Entertainment, my creative home, for always believing in stories that connect us all. I hope everyone who comes to watch relives the joy, the music, the emotions, and the magic of cinema that we’ve shared together.”
The festival’s lineup is a testament to SRK's versatility. Films like Chennai Express will remind us of his unmatched comic timing, while Devdas will transport us to a world of timeless love and grandeur. Dil Se offers a poetic exploration of love and rebellion, and Jawan showcases SRK in a dual role that embodies both rage and redemption. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na highlights one of his most endearing performances, while Main Hoon Na blends patriotism, emotion, and Bollywood flair seamlessly. And who can forget Om Shanti Om, a dazzling tribute to Hindi cinema’s golden era?
But here's the controversial part: While SRK is celebrated globally, some critics argue that his recent films haven’t matched the magic of his earlier work. What do you think? Is SRK still the king of Bollywood, or is his reign slowly fading? Let us know in the comments!
Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist at PVR INOX Ltd., perfectly summed it up: “Shah Rukh Khan is more than a global icon, he’s an emotion. We’re thrilled to celebrate his extraordinary journey through a line-up of films that capture his magic, versatility, and enduring influence on Indian cinema. He is loved by people across age groups, genders, and geographies. This festival is a tribute to his artistry and to the joy and hope he continues to bring to audiences around the world.”
Looking ahead, SRK fans have even more to look forward to. His next film, King, is set to hit screens in 2026, boasting an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Suhana Khan. With such a stellar lineup, it’s clear that SRK’s reign is far from over.
And this is the part most people miss: While we celebrate SRK’s past and present, what does the future hold for Bollywood’s king? Will he continue to dominate the box office, or will new stars take the throne? Share your thoughts below!
