SRK, aka Shrukie, aka, Shahrukh Khan might be the biggest star in Bollywood, but every great actor has gone through a series of oh-so-stupid-i-could-never-face-the-world-again mistakes!! Some of Shrukie's mistakes (apart from acting in all Ms. Karan Johar's films), follow...I won't even include the Karan aunty movies, cuz they are a league of their own when it comes to senseless!!!
5. JOSH- Shahrukh played a local Gang leader of Goa and the brother of Aishwarya Rai!! The King Khan went around in a leather jacket throughout the movie, aping the gangs of New York!! The what the poor makers of the movie didn’t realize is that the gangs of New York do not have to live in the Goa heat!!! Racing on bikes might seem mighty cool, but nobody mentioned how a mechanic can afford expensive bikes like that!!! Shahrukh, whatever he does, does NOT look like Aish’s twin bro nor does he look like a local goon! Sorry Shahrukh, not well taken
4. MOHABBATEIN- Shrukie dear refused his dear friend (uhmm…not only friend) Karan aunty Johar and told him that he did NOT want to wear a sweater in the movie! Even if he’s on the snow and his face is turning blue, the sweater will NOT leave his shoulders! Even while dancing with Bhootni Aishwarya (yes, u read that right, she was a bhoot in the movie!!), he refused to cover himself up!! He spread the message of love through dry maple leaves!! No mention of any possibility that sending dirty muddy leaves ( where dogs like to “free” themselves of some uhm stuff!) lying on the roadside to your girlfriend, might puzzle if not offend her!!! Besides the scantily clad heroines in the movie, I found the bhootni track extremely irritating!!!
3. HUM TUMHARE HAIN SANAM- I call this movie Shahrukh’s Stuttering best!!! He yelled and screamed and shook and raged and bawled his eyes out!!! I know he was feeling pain and all, but Puh-lease!! You do NOT have to overact to show that you’re hurt. You do NOT need to act like a crazy spastic who’s forgotten his medications!! And most of all, you do NOT need to stutter, howl and shake to show that you’re crying! A simple frown or a sob can do that for u!!! Again, sorry Shrukie, but your over-obsessive overacting does not work anymore!!
2.ASOKA- I started watching this movie with a lot of expectations. That is because:
A) It is a Shahrukh film!!
B) It’s a Shahrukh film with Kareena!!!
C) It’s a Shahrukh Khan home production
D) Shahrukh plays Asoka…A great actor playing a great warrior!!
What I got from Asoka:
A) Shahrukh dressed in the most ridiculous outfits and with an even more ridiculous hairdo!
B) Asoka adapted to be a love story!!!!!!!
C) SRK romancing with girls looking half his age ( Kareena Phoo Kapoor and Hrishitaa Bhatt!!)
D) Dialogues like :madira pi ke gadi nahin chalani chahiye!!( you can’t drive a bullock cart after drinking!!!!) What is this, a commercial warning people not to drink and drive!!! Just imagine Asoka saying that to a villager!!!
E) SRK looking like SRK when he should enact Asoka!
F) Kareena, who forgot to wear a thing called “clothes”!!
I think, these reasons should be enough to prove why I think this moive is one the biggest mistakes of Shahrukh!
1. GUDDU - Aaaarrghhhhh!!!! That's what I felt like yelling all through this horrendous insult to human intelligence!!! I don't know what in the world make Shahrukh EVER commit a felony like acting in this T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e movie!! If SRK's overacting was nerve racking, then his outifts and hair style was fit to make everyone else pull put their hair!!! Now, 8 years after watching Mr. Guddu in action, I wonder why I didn't sue SRK and the movie makers for making me lose 3 precious hours of my life!!!! All Shahrukh did in this movie was clutch his head, with the expression of being constipated, and sing ''papa se poochh lenaaaaa!!!!!'' with an even more ridiculous than him ( if That's possible), Manisha!! PS: Don't miss the scene where SRK runs to court, while he's having a brain tumor attack!!! Its hilarious!!!!
Luckily for my sanity, I’ve been spared from movies like Koyla, Duplicate, Badshah and Hey Ram. So, I don’t find it fair to review on them, since I haven’t actually gone through the torture!
Since I’ve mentioned all these mistakes that the King Khan committed, I feel the need to mention some of his movies that I think are fabulous!! These include: Darr, Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai, Pardes ( I absolutely adore this movie!!), Yes Boss, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kal Ho Na Ho.
