"Bollywood's 2023 Bonanza: Shah Rukh's Comeback, 500 Crore Hits, and Cinema's Evolving A-Z"
The year 2023 in Bollywood was marked by significant events, including the rise of the Rs. 500 crore club with films like Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan" and "Jawan," as well as Sunny Deol's "Gadar 2." Controversies arose from CBFC's censorship decisions and the use of an Iranian song in "Animal." The industry also saw the success of both global and urban films, with "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" performing well in India, and movies like "Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway" breaking the myth that only certain films can succeed in theaters. Shah Rukh Khan made a notable comeback, and the year also highlighted the impact of social media on film promotion and reception.
