After 2010, the "hotness" of "brand" Dharma got a change (although SRK still gave some input in Koffee with Karan in January 2011 - with a quite revealing statement - and in 2016 with Alia promoting Dear Zindagi and a more 'healthy' kind of 'nepotism') ... a change that (imo) also took over Karan's public personality...the beginning of what I would call 'the Dharma decline'...
On Reddit, someone posted Netflix viewing numbers for Bollywood movies from 1992-2005. The top four most watched Bollywood movies are all SRK movies. And 3/4 of those are the Dharma/SRK movies. Since these numbers don't go past 2005, no idea where KANK ranks but wouldn't shock me if that was also in the top five.
Everything in red are non-SRK movies.
