SRK is titled the 'King of Romance' in Bollywood, as has a special connection to romance in his career graph. His romantic films are timeless and will endure in the thoughts and hearts of the audience, even if he may well be past the age of romance today. Let's take a walk on the journey of King Khan as the 'King of Romance'.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)
Shah Rukh became the most adored romantic hero thanks to this cult classic, and Karan Johar, who made his directorial debut with this movie, enjoyed tremendous success. This film was released in the middle of the 1990s when SRK was unstoppable and had already found his place in the market. This movie will always be unique since it has arguably one of the most famous love triangles in a Bollywood rom-com.
Veer Zaara (2004)
Shah Rukh Khan is the master of romance, as this period drama demonstrated. The public adored his on-screen chemistry with Preity Zinta, and the movie went on to win numerous awards that year. In this movie, SRK plays the part of Veer, a devout Indian army pilot who loses the love of his life and is sentenced to a lifetime in prison in Pakistan on spying allegations.
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)
There must be a reason why this is the only film that continues to draw a sizable audience to the Maratha Mandir, where this film is consistently screened. As millennials refer to it, DDLJ is a classic love story starring the legendary duo of Kajol and SRK. In this Aditya Chopra film, Rahul, who is ever charming, is so endearing that no one can help but fall in love.
Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)
There was a touch of tragedy in this romantic comedy. SRK portrayed Aman, a jovial character who swears to assist another man in getting married to the woman they both adore. Shah Rukh portrayed a dying man whose final wish is to leave behind a loving husband and a happy existence for the love of his life. Kal Ho Na Ho must be included on this list because it is infused with romance, humour, and drama.
Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)
It has been 25 years since Dil Toh Pagal Hai, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, and Karisma Kapoor, graced cinemas to tell the story of a complicated love triangle. It has recognisable songs and dance routines, and fans continue to cling to the love lessons the major actors give.
Om Shanti Om (2007)
A future celebrity, Deepika Padukone, made her magnificent debut thanks to this movie. Shah Rukh Khan's enigmatic presence in the movie also helped to make it thousand times more spectacular. This movie showed the strength of love in all its glory. This film was a grand ode to the celebration of love, with a breathtaking climax and a charming ensemble.
Mohabbatein (2000)
The romance drama "Mohabbatein," starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, revolutionized what love is. The stern principal of Gurukul College Narayan, whose daughter Megha commits suicide as a result of his opposition to her connection with Raj, the college's music instructor, is the crux of the narrative in Mohabbatein.
