In this episode we discuss Salman Khan’s three most profitable films to date. 

Show Notes:

List of highest-grossing Indian films worldwide The popularity of the three Khans Baahubali: The Beginning (Which Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions released, but maybe didn’t have much to do with the production?) Franchise power versus star power Deepika Padukone, the secret weapon to box office success?  Genre diversity and social issues Kick  Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda, Nargis Fakhri The 100 Crore Club Salman Khan A controversial and divisive figure Jai Ho versus “Jai Ho” “Jumme Ki Ratt” and “Hangover” Kathy Gibson’s review in Access Bollywood
