The Academy highlights Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘best entry scene’ on his birthday, making Karan Johar ‘smile wide’; can you guess?
As Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan turns 59, celebrations go beyond his fanbase. In a special tribute, The Academy shared a memorable clip from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, showcasing his unforgettable entry scene and sparking a debate on whether it’s his most iconic. Reacting to this, Karan Johar expressed his delight, saying the recognition brought him a ‘wide smile’.
The Academy’s official Instagram celebrated Shah Rukh Khan‘s birthday with a nostalgic throwback to his iconic entry scene in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Set during Diwali at the Raichand mansion, the scene unfolds as Rahul Raichand, played by Khan, arrives in a black helicopter.
His mother, Nandini (Jaya Bachchan) instinctively senses his presence just as she’s preparing to welcome her husband, Yash Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan), with an aarti thali. She hesitates, her intuition guiding her as she turns to see Rahul approaching. Dressed in black, SRK’s character shares a warm exchange with his mother, asking how she always knows when he’s near.
Nandini, overcome with emotion, blesses him with a tilak and a loving touch. Captioned with “A mother’s intuition is always right,” The Academy sparked fan debate by asking, “Is this SRK’s best entry scene?”

Top Opening Day Box Office of 2024: Singham Again takes second spot with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at third; Stree 2 tops the list
The two Diwali releases, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, have taken excellent openings on Friday, collectively raking in a sum of Rs 71.00 crore. It’s the biggest opening day collection ever in the history of Hindi Cinema, and this has happened despite a split in the Diwali holiday. Singham Again, with an opening of Rs 38.00 crore to 38.50 crore, has emerged the second biggest opener of the year after Stree 2, which opened at Rs 54.50 crore in a 3-way clash with Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on the other hand is the third biggest opener of the year, after Stree 2 and Singham Again, and both the films are on a healthy wicket after the first day business. The Kartik Aaryan starrer has collected Rs 32.50 crore on Friday. Due to the controlled costs, Bhool Bhuliayaa 3 is on a better spot as the strong opening day and a near Rs 100 crore opening weekend in itself will seal the HIT verdict at the box office.
Singham Again on the other hand got hit by the clash, as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 proved to be a much bigger competitor than what one imaged. In a solo release, it was poised to open around the Rs 55 crore mark, whereas BB 3 was aiming a Rs 45 crore opening if solo on the same date. Both the films will score phenomenal opening weekends, and it’s then on the crucial Monday and Tuesday test to see how far they land.
The box office of 2024 has been the not-so-good story as after the top 3 spots, the fourth and fifth biggest opener of the year – Kalki 2898 AD and Fighter – are just a little above the Rs 20 crore mark. Here’s a look at top openings of the year.
