Hey, I let you pick Devdas! I could have made sure that, my least favorite SRK, was knocked out first round if I wanted to.

Lol, I’ll make sure to not pick Devdas next round! I only picked it because I liked the poster better than ODYHI’s poster 🙂

Well balanced…11 easy choices, 11 tough choices (harr harr)
As it is about the hero, I have to choose the character, not the movie…
Okay, here I am:
1) Lalit (MM) – more layered than Ajay
2) Sunil – rather realistic
3) Surinder – such a lovable man
4) G.One – yes, a good one
5) Raj (DDLJ) – more mature than it seems on the surface
6) Sunder (Chamatkar) – an innocent guy who has to learn some realities
7) Harry (JHMS) – I love Dev, too, but he is a bit too cynical
8) Samar – challenging the forces of the Universe (Om “only” challenging the evil guy)
9) Shankar – from devote to combative
10) Rahul (Yes Boss) – I wonder, how much Charlie will change…Rahul did
11) Kabir (ChakDe) – I like Arjun, too, but Kabir tops him with subtlety
12) Amar (Dil Se) – goes straight to my heart
13) Raj (RBGG) – oh, oh, The Ghost is special, too, but Raj is the one who changes through learning
14) Asoka – a powerful portrait
15) Hero (ODYHI) – I like the movie Devdas, but not the character
16) Raj (Mohabbatein) – someone with a hidden agenda although I prefer the movie Badshah to Mohabbatein
17) Arun (One2Ka4) – also hard to choose, but he is believable in his friendship and his struggling with the kids
18) Rahul (CE) – an immature guy who learns that he is stronger than he thought
19) Rahul (K3G) – a moving portrait of an adopted son
20) Raj (CC) – the opposite to an angel
21) Raj (Dilwale) – I prefer MHN as a movie, but Ram is almost flawless and Raj has to struggle between love and self-respect
22) Mohan (Swades) – one of his finest characters while Veer is one of his altruistic ones

Great response Claudia! 👍 It’s difficult to separate the character from the film but you’ve done an excellent analysis.
