Shahrukh Summer Friday Classic: Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Shahrukh as the Loser Protagonist
This is one of Shahrukh’s earliest roles, and one he consistently lists as a film and a performance he is most proud of. But, why?
Continue reading28 Shahrukh Romances, Part 1: Trickster SRK
This came up because of a comment in our JHMS discussion yesterday. About how it felt like in some ways the happy ending for “Harry” resolved a lot of unhappy endings for similarly noble Shahrukh lover characters. Which got me thinking about what might be the same and different in how SRK romances play out. So, let’s look at an assortment of romances. 7 at a go, because I want to discuss them in depth and then discuss them cumulatively.
Happy 11 Days to Shahrukh’s Birthday! Getting Close!
Okay, favorite songs, favorite fanvids, favorite photos, saddest facts, happiest facts, time for a big one! Top 11 movies (was going to be 10, but I couldn’t decide what to drop, so I moved it up a day)!
Happy Birthday Naseeruddin Shah!!!!
It’s Naseerji’s birthday! How wonderful! His career is so long and so impressive, I don’t think I can possibly hope to do justice to it in one post. So I am going to do the best I can and if I miss something, just mention it in the comments and maybe I will put it in for next years post! Anyway, here are 26 reasons for now, for the age he was in his first movie.
5 Friendly Appearances: No, I’m not going to talk about Om Shanti Om
Back in the 90s, when the world was young, people used to be much more relaxed about just stumbling over to the neighboring set and doing a quick funny cameo. Sometimes a quick, funny, fourth wall breaking cameo (those are the best!). Not like a big appearance for a song, like Shahrukh in Kaal or Aishwarya in “Ishq Kameena”. Or a carefully planned mini-appearance, like everybody in Om Shanti Om. Or one of those medium things, like Aish in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam or Shahrukh and Tabu in Saathiya. No, just a sort of “Hey, I was over here having lunch with you anyway, how about I be in your film?” kind of appearance. Here are 5 of the best ones that I remember!
This Guy!!!
So, if you have watched your fair number of 90s Hindi films, you immediately went “Yes! That guy!” as soon as you saw the picture up there. He’s one of those people that wanders in and out of films, playing the guy who is like-the-hero-but-not-as-good. Friend, rival, enemy, brother, what have you. In, like, Everything!!!
He played Sanjay’s best friend and side-kick in Sadak:
(It is a special challenge as a side-kick to make Sanjay look like a good dancer)
A year later, he was in Khiladi, supporting Akshay:
(Shirtless Akshay presents different challenges. Like, being visible on the screen when he is blinding us with his hotness)
The same year, he was Aamir’s rival in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander
(ooo, they are so evil!)
In 1994, he twice bested Shahrukh in a romantic challenge, in both Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa and Anjaam:
(I love this movie, and I really love this song. I don’t care that it makes no sense on any level. Also, did you know this actress married Shekhar Kapur, director of Mr. India and the Cate Blanchette Elizabeth movies?)
