There are only a handful of Bollywood performers that have represented their film industry on a worldwide scale. And we can all admit that Shahrukh Khan is one of them. He has not worked on any Hollywood project. Still, a lot of celebrities from the Hollywood film industry know about him. That’s the proof of his popularity. Can you imagine a poor boy from Delhi headlining numerous hit movies in an industry like Bollywood? It is impossible! But King Khan has done it!

Here are the top ten Baadshah’s movies for you! We hope you like it!

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)

This movie is known for being the debut project of Anushka Sharma. But it also displayed one of the best performances of Shahrukh Khan’s entire career. There is no other actor in Bollywood that could have turned this simplistic story into an emotional rollercoaster ride. But King Khan did it gracefully. It was his charisma and talent that brought the perfect balance between the characters of Surinder and Raj. Sharma also gave a standout performance. It is not easy to get selected for a YRF project. However, it was her realistic portrayal of Taani that won the hearts of the audience.

Darr

Darr (1993)

Do you know that SRK was not the first choice for the role of Rahul Mehra? Initially, Yash Chopra was interested in offering Sanjay Dutt this role. However, things did not work out because of Dutt’s illegal possession of weapons. But the role of Rahul Mehra became the turning point in SRK’s career. He was already popular for portraying a negative character in Baazigar. And the same year, he delivered an unforgettable performance in this movie. The film centred on a character named Rahul Mehra. His love for Kiran turns into madness. After all, how could he have survived without having ‘K… K… K… Kiran’ in his life?

Sunny Deol and Juhi Chawla played the supporting characters in this movie.

Devdas

Devdas (2002)

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known for directing mega-budget movies. He also sat on the director’s chair during the production of Devdas. And it turned out to be the most expensive movie in the history of Bollywood at that time. It became prominent for its memorable dialogues, outstanding performances, lavish sets, amazing songs, and a solid storyline. There is no doubt that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Paro) and Madhuri Dixit Nene (Chandramukhi) performed brilliantly in this project. But Khan literally carried the whole movie on his shoulders with his astounding performance.

Veer-Zaara

Veer-Zaara (2004)

After taking a seven-year-long hiatus, Yash Chopra decided to return to his directing duties with this movie. Dil To Pagal Hai was his last project. He received a lot of stories but none won his heart like Veer-Zaara. Khan portrayed the character of an Indian Air Force pilot named Veer. He falls in love with the daughter of a Pakistani politician named Zaara (Preity Zinta). Things turn sideways when he gets imprisoned on false charges. That’s where a Pakistani lawyer (Rani Mukherjee) decides to handle his case. It received fantastic reviews for its plot, music, performances, and thoughtful portrayal of Indo-Pak relations.

Baazigar

Baazigar (1993)

Baazigar… A movie that revolutionized the entire Bollywood film industry. For the first time, the Indian audience watched a negative character becoming the leading man of a movie. Despite being a negative character, SRK became an instant favourite of the moviegoers. His shocking performance and amazing dialogues stood out the most in this movie. The duo of Abbas-Mustan utilized his acting talents perfectly. The supporting cast consisting of Shilpa Shetty, Kajol, Johnny Lever, and others acted marvellously.

Kal Ho Naa Ho

Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)

Imagine it is the year 2003 and the theme song of Kal Ho Naa Ho is playing on your music player… It brings all the memories back, right? Other than the catchy soundtracks of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, it became an instant hit among the Indian audiences. It received special praise for touching subjects like terminal illness, homosexuality, Indian diaspora, inter-caste marriage, and many more. Leads Shahrukh and Preity gave memorable performances. The film was crammed with a star-studded cast with legends like Sail Ali Khan and Jaya Bachchan in supporting roles.

Swades

Swades (2004)

This movie deserved to be a blockbuster on the box office. But unluckily, it underperformed and was labelled as a flop. However, it is considered one of the best cult movies of all time. It would have been a mega-hit if it was released in recent times. Despite being way ahead of its time, Khan shined in his role as Mohan Bhargava. It became the first Bollywood movie to be shot in NASA headquarters. Rahman received acclaim for delivering heart-touching soundtracks. The film shows how the protagonist brings electricity to his village after spending many years in America as a project manager.

My Name Is Khan

My Name Is Khan (2010)

This film is one of the most mature projects of Karan Johar’s filmography. Handling sensitive topics like terrorist attacks is never easy. But Johar directed it elegantly. Other than his direction, it received critical acclaim for the performance of Shahrukh Khan. Many people believe that it is his best performance to date. Kajol’s role brought the much needed emotional touch and sensitivity to the entire project. The trio of Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy was immensely applauded for giving superhit soundtracks.

Chak De! India

Chak De! India (2007)

You must have listened to the theme song of Chak De! India in various patriotic events in India, right? It pumps our hearts with patriotic emotions and pride. So does this movie! Many people know that the role of Kabir Khan was first offered to Salman Khan. But he declined the offer. And thank God he declined because no one could have pulled off this job better than the SRK himself. His magnetic performance was the main highlight of this movie. It was greatly praised for portraying the true status of Indian women’s hockey.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

Aditya Chopra debuted in a grand style as a director with this masterpiece. You know a movie is special when it gets played in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir for more than 24 years from its release date. The love story of Raj and Simran still manages to steal the hearts of the fans. The performance of the lead duo was a crucial factor in this movie’s gigantic success. It is packed with notable songs, iconic performances, and a stellar storyline. Late Amrish Puri acted exceptionally well in this film. Do not call yourself SRK’s fan if you have not watched it yet!
