Shah Rukh Khan's association with the festive season of Diwali goes back a long way. Ever since the actor tasted success in 1993 with his first Diwali release, Baazigar, Diwali has been lucky for him. Let's take a look at some of Shah Rukh Khan's successful Diwali releases.
Happy New Year: Shah Rukh Khan has once again proved why he's called the baadshah of Bollywood. After setting records at box-office last year with Chennai Express, Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year has already started creating new bench marks which seems difficult for others to chase. Shah Rukh has once again struck gold at the box-office with his latest hit Happy New Year which has now joined the list of fastest Rs 100 crore Bollywood films. With this, Happy New Year has also become the 11th successful film of SRK to be released during Diwali.

Baazigar: Shah Rukh Khan, who has proved his versatility with various roles, changed the way people looked at Bollywood heroes with his role in Baazigar. This Abbas-Mustan thriller was 'inspired' from A Kiss Before Dying. The film which went on to become Shah Rukh Khan's first major Diwali hit was turned down by many A-listers as the role was of a negative hero who commits three murders. Actors like Salman Khan and Anil Kapoor declined the role as they thought it would work against their on-screen image. But what was Salman and Anil's loss, proved to be Shah Rukh's gain.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: The fact that Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is still running at Maratha Mandir even after 19 years of its release speaks volumes about the film. In DDLJ, Bollywood got one of its most sizzling jodis of Bollywood - Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan. The film changed the life of all the people who were associated with it. It is till date, one of the most successful films of Aditya Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. According to Anupama Chaopra's book Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge: The Making Of A Blockbuster, Shah Rukh did not want to do DDLJ in the beginning. He thought it was the typical lover boy role. In fact Aditya Chopra had to convince him to do it. There is a poster in Adi's office signed by Shah Rukh that reads, 'Thank you for making me the star that I am today.' No points for guessing that DDLJ was indeed a Diwali release.

Dil To Pagal Hai: The new-age love story, directed by the master of romance - Yash Chopra, is still fresh in the minds of the audience for its amazing music and Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor's glamorous looks. Dil To Pagal Hai, which revolved around the world of dance and theatre, was a hit with the audience. The music album of Dil To Pagal Hai was the biggest hit of the year. In fact its music sold even better than that of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The film was the second biggest success of the year on the box-office and it soon went on to acquire the status of the classic Bollywood love story. Dil To Pagal Hai is, as expected, a Diwali release.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai: Another milestone of Shah Rukh Khan's career came in the year 1998 during Diwali. The film also launched Shah Rukh Khan's best friend Karan Johar as a director. This film again was a love triangle between Rahul, Tina and Anjali played by Shah Rukh, Rani Mukerji and Kajol respectively. Everything about the film - from its look to the songs - were new. The songs just didn't sound good but even looked great, complete with Farah Khan's stylish choreography, picture perfect locations and the hi-gloss MTV-style packaging. The film was extremely successful in India and abroad. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was the first Bollywood film to enter the UK Cinema Top Ten. The look and feel of this 1998 classic was drawn from the popular Riverdale High School from Archie comics. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was Shah Rukh's biggest Diwali hit after DDLJ.

Mohabbatein: This was Aditya Chopra's second venture with Shah Rukh Khan after the iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge. The film also marked the comeback of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan.

Veer-Zaara: Veer-Zaara is a saga of love, separation, courage and sacrifice.

Don: Shah Rukh Khan, who emerged as one of the biggest stars of Bollywood after Amitabh Bachchan, was mostly compared to the latter. So, when Farhan Akhtar decided to cast Shah Rukh to reprise the role of Vijay in the remake of Don in 2006, all eyes were on SRK-Farhan as to whether they will be able to pull it through. Even though the film received a mixed response from everyone around, Don was able to make a profit at the ticket windows. Well, looking at the success of Don which released during Diwali we can surely say that Shah Rukh on Diwali can never go wrong.

Om Shanti Om: Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan, who worked together on many films as actor and choreographer eventually decided to make movies together. After the super success of Main Hoon Na they together did something much bigger and better in the form of Om Shanti Om. The film which revolved around the film industry was a massive hit at the box-office. With Om Shanti Om, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya (which launched the careers of Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor) also hit the cinema halls but as we all know Diwali belongs to Shah Rukh Khan his film Om Shanti Om gave Saawariyaa the run for its money.

Ra.One: When Shah Rukh decided to make an Indian science fiction superhero film Ra.One in 2011 directed by Anubhav Sinha, everyone waited with bated breath, However, this film was a major disappointment for all Shah Rukh fans. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal and Kareena Kapoor, the film did good business making the most of the festive season. In this case also Shah Rukh's Diwali connection worked in his favour as the film minted good money.
