4th post! Which should have gone up on the 8th, but on well! I’m gonna throw out my 4 films I would tell someone to watch in order to fall in love with SRK.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Obviously! It’s the movie where I fell in love with him, and the movie where the world fell in love with him. He is charming, charismatic, smart, and just a big ball of energy onscreen.
Jab Harry Met Sejal
A very different but same kind of performance. He is worn down, subtle, almost off-putting at times, but still has that charisma and moments of manic energy in his performance that draw you in.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
It’s about being a father in this one, being mature. You like him in the first half, with that old youthful energy, but you love him in the second half when he loves his kid and his Mom and thinks through his decisions and responsibilities.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
The movie that fully deconstructs his appeal and still makes you love him. The charm and energy is all on the surface, underneath is the quiet thoughtful seriousness. And it’s that underneath you TRULY love, the surface stuff is just to make you pay attention.
Okay, those are my picks for 4 films if I wanted to make someone fall in love with him. You choices?
