Tabu Joins Shahrukh Khan In Achieving Post-Pandemic Box Office Milestone
Shahrukh Khan, often hailed as the legendary figure of Indian cinema, has set a high benchmark in Bollywood with his unparalleled success at the box office. His recent movies, 'Pathan', 'Dunki', and 'Jawaan', have collectively amassed a staggering Rs. 2014 crore globally, showcasing his dominance in the industry. However, it appears that a new contender is emerging, challenging the box office supremacy of King Khan.
In the spotlight once again is Tabu, an actress whose career resurgence post-pandemic has caught the attention of many. With her recent releases, including 'Crew', 'Drishyam 2', and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2', Tabu has demonstrated her box office prowess. These films have not only received critical acclaim but have also performed exceptionally well financially. 'Drishyam 2' and 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' together have grossed over Rs. 553 crores globally, positioning Tabu as a formidable force in Bollywood.

The movie 'Crew', which premiered on March 29, has made a significant impact at the box office. With an opening collection of Rs. 9.25 crore, followed by Rs. 9.75 crores and Rs. 10.5 crore over the weekend, the film showcased strong performance despite a dip to Rs. 4.2 crores on Monday. Accumulating over Rs. 86 crores worldwide, 'Crew' has been ranked as the fifth highest-grossing Hindi movie of 2024.
Featuring an ensemble cast including Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles, alongside Kapil Sharma and Diljit Dosanjh in supporting roles, 'Crew' offers a unique blend of comedy and heist elements. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan and produced by a team comprising Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Purohit, the film revolves around three crew members striving to fulfill their financial needs through unconventional means.
The success of Tabu's recent films post-pandemic underscores her versatility and enduring appeal in Bollywood. As she continues to deliver hit after hit, it's clear that Tabu is not just competing with Shahrukh Khan's box office game but also carving her own niche in the industry.
