Entertainment Didn’t THESE classics deserve one?

Despite appearing in a number of highly acclaimed and popular films, including Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Swades, and a few others, the prestigious National Award had stayed out of his reach-until now. Here’s a list of SRK movies that deserved to win a National Award.

Entertainment Swades

Without being overtly instructive, SRK’s portrayal of Mohan was incredibly motivating, encapsulating the sense of social responsibility and patriotism. The character was distinctive and approachable because of his ability to strike a balance between idealism, resolve, and vulnerability. One of SRK’s most influential movies, Swades is praised for its themes of independence, empowerment, and the significance of change at the grassroots level in India.

Entertainment Devdas

Shah Rukh Khan brought the tragic figure Devdas Mukherjee to life in the film Devdas, a masterpiece of cinema, with unparalleled emotional depth and intensity. Devdas’s journey towards sorrow and self-destruction was brilliantly shown by SRK, who captured his passion, anguish, and vulnerability. The story gained depth from his chemistry with Madhuri Dixit as Chandramukhi and Aishwarya Rai as Paro. Devdas, which was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is a timeless classic.

Entertainment Chak De! India

Chak De! India is one of Shah Rukh Khan’s finest movies that displays his extraordinary range as an actor. In his portrayal of Kabir Khan, a disgraced hockey coach looking for atonement, SRK gave a strong, understated performance that motivated a team of underdogs to win in the face of overwhelming odds. The film is a masterful blend of tenacity, teamwork, and patriotism, and its emotional depth is enhanced by SRK’s captivating on-screen persona.

Entertainment My Name Is Khan

Shah Rukh Khan’s performance as Rizwan Khan, a guy with Asperger’s syndrome, in the seminal movie My Name is Khan was incredibly emotional. SRK captured Rizwan’s innocence, determination, and unshakable compassion in a subtle and moving depiction. With SRK stealing the show at every emotional moment, the movie explored themes of love, acceptance, and resiliency.

Entertainment Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

The timeless masterpiece Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) cemented Shah Rukh Khan’s position as the King of Romance. SRK became a modern-day love story icon by playing Raj Malhotra with charm, humour, and vulnerability. Audiences throughout the world were moved by his romance with Kajol, the beautiful locations, and the touching story.
