Shah Rukh Khan aka SRK has entertained us for decades together. Deservedly referred to as the Badshah of Bollywood, King Khan, the official chocolate boy of Bollywood has made us swoon over him for the versatile roles he has played all along his long career.

We look back at his illustrious journey as an actor by visiting 10 of his most notable films, that made him the Shah Rukh Khan he is for us. And this is exactly why none of us should miss watching these!

Here we go…

1. Baazigar(1993)

Starring in a grey role, seeking revenge for a family tragedy, SRK struck the chord with people by invoking fear and romance in the same measure. SRK had entered Bollywood to never be left behind. Starring opposite the hot ladies of the time, Shilpa Shetty and Kajol, the movie is still one of the many SRK favorites to his fans.

2. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995)

Though the actor has done many films before this, this movie can easily be the called the start to the reputation SRK enjoys in Bollywood to this day. A massive hit, the actor, starred opposite the beautiful Kajol, and the movie was released on 20th October 1995. This romance entered forever the hearts of both Indians and NRIs and went on to be the only movie played in select theatres for 20 long years.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was ranked among The Times of India’s list of “10 Bollywood movies you must see before you die”. The film also won a National Award and 10 Filmfare awards!

3. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

A musical romantic comedy, SRK here too played the typical chocolate boy that won him accolades in DDLJ. But this time there were two heroines vying for his attention; the fiesty Kajol and the modern yet grounded Rani Mukherjee.

Though the movie was far from reaching the heights of DDLJ, it was still the highest grossing movie of the year and SRK established himself as the most loved Romantic Hero of the 90s.

4. Dil Se (1998)

The actor showed himself in a more sober and serious role in this movie opposite Manisha Koirala. Shown falling madly in love with a terrorist (Koirala), his character is the embodiment of romance and dedication, that sees its doom in the same love it grows in. The movie went on to be featured in the top 10 films of the year in the UK and did really well in India too.

5. Devdas (2002)

After Dilip Kumar, if there is another actor who is passionately remembered for this role as the classic pining lover, It’s SRK! Shah Rukh set the screens ablaze as the love struck Deva, who turns an alcoholic when he loses his beloved Paro (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). His chemistry with both actresses Aishwarya and Madhuri Dixit was praised to the skies.

The film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, where too it was a massive hit. Overnight, SRK had become the best of the mature and tragic heroes!

6. Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)

SRK plays the ailing heart patient Aman, who can still see the good side of life, while others crib at everything around them. Starring alongside the funny Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta, SRK personifies generosity and romance in the movie, when he briefly falls in love with Preity’s character. He takes our hearts with him every time we watch the climax of the movie!

The movie was a huge hit with the masses and won accolades in Germany and France too!

7. Paheli (2005)

India’s Oscar selection for the year, the movie saw SRK in a double role. Amidst the richness of the Rajasthani culture and landscape, was the story of a husband and wife and a ghost. Shah Rukh played the roles of both the timid and shy husband and the flirtatious ghost. Wooing Rani Mukherjee to accept him as ghost in the place of the less attractive husband, the movie did wonders at the box office.

8. Don- The Chase Begins Again (2006)

If Amitabh Bachchan was flamboyant in the 1978 version of the movie, King Khan was charm personified in its remake. The girls were all over him, and the villainous shade returned to screen after many years. With three leading ladies at his side (Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and Isha Koppikar), Khan in a double role again, was chivalry and evil all in one and won the audience’s awe.

Don 2 that followed in 2011 also did great business at the box office.

9. Chak De India! (2007)

Away from all the glitz and glam, and the image of a romantic hero, Shah Rukh Khan jumped into new waters. As the coach of an all girls hockey team, the commercial actor turned into a serious and mature artist with this movie. If the Badshah could make the women go week in the knees with his romantic gestures, he proved formidable and respect worthy as the serious and dedicated sports coach (without a romantic angle anywhere in the movie!!!).

The movie was a massive hit. It went on to also win a National Award and proved SRK’s versatility like no other film could.

10. My Name is Khan (2010)

Affected by Asperger’s Syndrome, his character in the movie tries to prove that his name being Khan, doesn’t make him a terrorist. Set during the time of the 9/11 attack and it’s aftermath, the movie revolved around the discrimination innocent Muslims faced, at the time. Cast away by his own family, Khan brilliantly portrays the role of an innocent Muslim with a personal disability, who has to face the ire of people for crimes committed by religious fanatics.

This movie is also one of the many hit movies produced by SRK’s very own Red Chillis Entertainment. The movie proved Shah Rukh’s versatility yet again and added a feather to his already enviable repertoire.
