Whether you’re a die-hard fan who knows every dialogue or a newer viewer wanting to explore the depth of Bollywood, this festival is a golden opportunity. Imagine watching "Dil Se" or "Devdas" with their stunning cinematography and powerful performances on a massive screen, or singing along to "Om Shanti Om" with a whole theatre full of fellow fans!

While Shah Rukh Khan is currently making international appearances (like the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), this festival brings his legacy right back home to the hearts of Indian audiences. And let's not forget, he's also busy shooting for his next highly anticipated film, "King," expected in 2026, which will also star his daughter Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan.
