Three of Indian cinema’s biggest stars—Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan—are all turning sixty this year. They are not related to each other, but each is part of an extended family working in the Indian film industry. They have each appeared in more than sixty films over the last four decades of cinema, and their films account for six of the top ten highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time. Along with Curator of Film Exhibitions Jared Case, Deborah Stoiber and Erica Jones, who have spent the better part of a decade working on the museum’s extensive South Asia collection, convene on stage to discuss the different personalities of these superstars, the cinema they produce, and their significance to and impact on Indian cinema history.
This event is free.
