The UAE is going to enjoy the presence of the superstar of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, even more than ever when Dubai prepares to host an exclusive movie-themed festival to celebrate the remarkable achievements of the actor in the movie industry. The Shah Rukh Khan Film Festival will be held during the week of the birthday of the superstar, in November, and will showcase his most popular films on the big screen in theatres around the Emirates.
The festival, organized in partnership with Yash Raj Films International (YRF), is a celebration of the unparalleled impact that SRK has had across borders, languages, and generations. It will feature a well-selected assortment of the biggest hits of Khan – Dil Se, Devdas, Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and his recent worldwide box office hit Jawan—and allow his fans an opportunity to revisit the magic of his classic performances.
“In a statement, Shah Rukh Khan said, ‘Cinema is my house, and watching these movies back on the big screen is a reunion of beauty. These films are not just my narratives but also those of the audience that has so fondly taken them in and nurtured them throughout the past 33 years. I want all who attend the theatres to experience again the happiness, the songs, the feelings, and the wonders of the cinema that we have experienced.
The event is not going to be merely a screening event. Commonly designed decor, unique merchandise, and fan-hosted events will be anticipated in different cinema halls, and it will be a citywide event celebrating the King of Bollywood.
Nelson D’Souza, the Vice President of International Distribution at YRF, stated, “Shah Rukh Khan is an international icon and an everlasting emotion; he is a person who brings people of every age, culture, and country together.” YRF International would like to introduce this festival, which demonstrates his unparalleled versatility and eternal happiness, which he gives to the listeners all over the world.
To UAE fans, his films are not merely a movie event but a tribute to the human being who transformed Bollywood stardom and became a person of affection, flair, and bonding globally. When the world is celebrating the birthday of SRK, the city of Dubai takes the frontline stage again by transforming its cinemas into shrines of nostalgia, romance, and sheer filmic delight in honor of the King of Bollywood.

To UAE movie lovers, it is not just a film chain but a once-in-a-lifetime event of honoring a man who has shaped the films of romance, endurance, and movie magic over 30 years.
