SRK...THE ACRONYM STANDS FOR THE BIGGEST CINEMATIC ICON OF BOLLYWOOD AFTER AMITABH BACHCHAN....HE STANDS LIKE A COLOSSUS WATCHING THE WORLD UNFOLDING IN APPLAUDS FOR HIM AT INTERVALS MORE THAN REGULAR....!
TODAY I PRESENT TEN BEST PORTRAYALS OF SRK...ITS MY ORDER..YOU MAY BEG TO DIFFER..BUT STILL IF YOU ARE AN ARDENT FAN OR EVEN A SECRET ADMIRER YOU ARE GONNA AGREE WITH THE LIST COMPLETELY OR TO A MAJOR EXTENT...SO HERE WE GO!!
1.KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA:its not easy to portray a role of a loser...a boy who was nothing in almost every aspect of life...a boy who was never standing upto the expectations of his parents...a soul who was searching himself through the eyes of this world...a mind that was competing with better ones around him!but SRK essayed the role with aplomb...the composure and consistency under strain of the character was more than evident...novice as he was...unruly hair that he had..the innocence he carried...the guilt that he reflected..the way he faced his parents...the way he lost one girl he loved...the manner in which luck betrayed him at the last moment and the way he still carried a contagious smile on his lips...the tears rolling down his cheeks....this role remains as SRK'S most natural,most effervescent,and the most emphatic one...p.s. the other versatile khans have never dared portray the role of a loser with such frankness..one of them came close to doing it in 'akele hum akele tum' but its trivial in front of the perfection of king khan!
2.SWADES:The NRI scientist of NASA...returning to homeland in his SUV...with a view that india is poor,dilapidated,deplorable....collides with the richness of indian values in a village...meets a self dependent,high esteemed girl,understands the requirements of his country by evaluating the lack of basic amenities like electricity in his village and apathy to education...works in tandem with the girl he starts loving to bring children to school,utilises his knowledge to create hydroelectricity....but returns to US again as he still is not convinced about the way india needs him...his SWADES needs him..the girl refuses to go along with him..so does his mother...but he returns back as the heart lies where the mind wanders...SRK was underemoting yet his emotions were bang on target..commercial failure but critical success..this film put SRK in the league of those mainstream actors who could carry subdued roles with utmost of ease without any hero like tantrums...he was simple yet classy..he was underplaying still he excelled..there was no melodrama yet there was drama unfolding every frame...POTENTIALLY SRK'S BEST CHARACTER TO DATE...THE BEST!
3.MY NAME IS KHAN:The film has already become a global phenomenom....critically highly appreciated,comercially raking in moolah...RIZWAN KHAN proved that acting is not about different hair-do's or 8 pack abs or marketing gimmicks...he proved that roles are essayed with ease and spontaneity...SRK has essayed the role of an autistic with such perfection that the role haunts you long after you have left the cinema hall..the innocence depicted...the determination portrayed..has not been seen in recent times....khan is at his scintillating best...he captures the movie,elevates it to an unfathomed height doing somewhat for the lacklustre editing in second half....shahrukh has set a benchmark for everyone to surpass him and his acting skills...his acting was not a dissertation like the other khan..but its spontaneous,very spontaneous...you dont know what you are going to get next! I WANNA HAVE SEX NOW,NOW!!can anyone demand sex from his spouse more innocently than that...no one can!shahrukh has excelled in terms unparalleled leaving behind all criticism about his acting...shahrukh has rewritten the rules of acting...the movie has already garnered 198 crores worldwide in just 29 days of its release!!!!
4.CHAK DE INDIA!: kabir khan is another khan which tsunamised the box office!A national game in deplorable condition...gender bias prevailing in extreme quanta...authority corrupted,a personal insult to be wiped out...everything almost non-conducive for a national women's hockey coach...added to all of the above personal rivalry and state-wise lobbying of the players!One man could do the miracle....he could rewrite 'REMEMBER THE TITANS' for india...his name was KABIR KHAN..and he did it...shahrukh looked the best in this movie till date...his voice was stern..his mannerism was authoritative..his heart felt a grief that transcended into your heart...sharukh was at his empahtic best...his character had a depth and he even outdid the depth..he surpassed all inhibition to churn out the best character in hindi cinema ever and the best sports movie ever and and and the sport anthem of our country..chak de india!such was the influence of the movie that it injected a new life into hockey by diverting the attention of masses to the plight of hockey...sahrukh carried the movie alone on his shoulders...and he not only carried it..he went and nailed the name of the movie amongst the top movies of bollywood cinema!!I bet no other could have done justice to the role...no one..shahrukh not only did justice to the role but also imparted a decree to be followed while acting!period!
5.BAAZIGAR:When no one dared to essay an anti-hero role,king khan did it with utmost of conviction..and won hefty accolades....khan was hineous..clever..yet he was romantic..the way he mixed his romanticism with his revenge..his pleasure with his motive..was a class act! 'JEET KAR HAARNE WALE KO BAAZIGAR KEHTE HAIN' this dialogue sets the tone of the movie...loosely based on a novel 'the dying kiss' this movie will be remembered for the scene where SRK throws shilpa shetty from the terrace.. khan assumed a license to kill and he killed at his will,with ease...his dangerous eyes,his dangerous smile were all fantastic.the climax was heart tearing...a man fighting for his family..his mother...being almost killed by the culprit and then you could see the revenge in shahrukh's eyes and at last thew ay he plunges the iron rod into dilip tahil's bowels and then dying in his mother's arms...saying..'maa mujhe teri god me sona hai..main bahut dino se soya nai hun'...its the most empahtic revenge movies of all times..shahrukh gave it a clinical treatment...gave it novelty...gave it the much needed villainous features coupled with a somewhat underplayed romantic aspect!!!Will always be remembered whenever revenge and motives shall be discussed in bollywood!!!!
PART 2 SHALL BE HITTING THE BLOG TOMORROW...!!!!
