I Like the VERSATILITY of SRK and Hrithik
Shah Rukh Khan has been in the industry for more than 20 years now and he has been giving HITs throughout his career. Most of his Hits is in Romantic genre and So media has tagged him the ‘King of Romance’. This has made many people believe that he is just keep on doing romantic movies which is far from truth. I am covering basically two points i.e. Versatility in choosing the type of movies and Versatility in acting. I am assuming that we know the meaning of versatility so that when I mention about the movies like Ra.One, Ashoka and Paheli you will not have any chance to say that they were Flops.
Versatility in choosing movies
I feel, among the present lot, SRK is the most versatile actor when it comes to choosing movies in different genres. He has done the role of a romantic hero who lures his heroines by his charm to a wicked man who can do anything for revenge of his father’s death. A mentally challenged man to a Superhero. Just look at his filmography and you can see the Diversity. Short film with Arundhati, KHKN, DDLJ, Baazigar, Dil se, PBDHH, Pardes, Hey Raam, Ashoka, Swades, Koyla, Baadshah, MNIK, OSO, CDI, Don, Ra.one.
Movie Memories – Theaters Where You Saw lot of Movies
Maheshwari/Parameshwari was the the best theater in Hyderabad. Have memories of watching a majority of movies there. Saw Ajooba, Sanam Bewafa, Saajan, Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, Pyar Ka Tarana, Khuda Gawah, Suryavanshi, Khal Nayak, Darr, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Anjaam, Prem, 1942 A Love Story, Yeh Dillagi, Raja, Suraksha, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Rangeela, Deewar, Shakti, Zamana Deewana, Judwaa, Auzaar and Dil Se.
The early part of the song is shot at Maheshwari/Parameshwari theater complex. You can see that Saajan is playing. It is from a Ram Gopal Varma directed Telugu movie Money starring Chakravarthy, Renuka Shahane and Paresh Rawal. Its a good song too with some good music.

Culturally Significant Films of the 1990s
Culturally Significant films are films which reflect society’s likes,lifestyle,choice of films.
Prestige,quality films are different.Sometimes both can mean same,but there is a difference between them.
I am listing the culturally significant films of 1990s.
1. Khiladi
A young handsome boy called Akshay Kumar acted in this film,which is the biggest suspense thriller of the 1990s.He became a big star after Khiladi.Khiladi became Akshay’s signature film and it became a successful franchise.
2. Mohra
The Biggest Action Blockbuster of the 1990s,the Action of the 1970s is successfully adapted to the 1990s,and it became an icnonic film which represented Action.
3. Hum Aaap ke hai kaun
The film that started the market expanison,the biggest blockbuster after sholay,with 140% ticket prices it made 65cr,and established the romance genre which was the dominant genre of the 1990s.
4.Dilwale Dulhaniya Lejayenge
The film which represented the youth,upper class aspirations of the post liberalistion India.
The most popular film of the 1990s,till mid 2000s.
The film which inspired several films.
5.Dil To Paagal hai
Following on the success of DDLJ,DTPH took a new angle on friend,lover relationship.Its a well liked film.
6.Hum Saath Saath hai
After HAHK,suraj barjatya followed it with HSSH,which is a Family Drama,and it looks like a sequal of HAHK with an ensemle cast.

Blast from the Past: Shah Rukh Khan Interview Early Days
As SRK completes 20 years in Bollywood check out this early interview (after Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman may be) where he talks about his transition from TV to big screen, his plus and negative points, his arrogance and competition with Aamir and Salman – some things never change I guess
Here is another interview pre DDLJ which I had posted earlier elsewhere.
ContinueI just got lucky, says SRK on 20 years in B-Town
On this day two decades ago a new Hindi film superstar emerged: Bollwood’s all-time favourite romantic hero Shah Rukh Khan, who debuted with Deewana. On completing 20 years, SRK says he just “got lucky” and admits he has made mistakes all along.
Shah Rukh who entered filmdom with Deewana, which released June 25, 1992, tweeted,
Superstardom, disappointment and controversies – Delhi guy SRK has seen it all in his celebrityhood.
For Shah Rukh, it’s been two decades in Bollywood, but his tryst with showbiz began in 1988, the year he started his journey with TV series Fauji, after being trained at The Barry John’s Acting Studio. Next year he featured in another successful show Circus and Doosra Keval.
People loved his act on small screen, he won hearts as a crazy lover in Deewana, in which he was competing with none other than Rishi Kapoor in the lead role. But lady luck was smiling on him and audiences loved his chemistry with late Divya Bharti. The song Aisi deewangi dekhi nahin kabhi picturised on them became a chartbuster.
Deewana turned out to be a huge hit at the box office, and won SRK a Filmfare best male debut award.
There was no looking back thereafter – only more films, more hits, and more awards for Shah Rukh.

Veteran actress Achala Sachdev dies
Yesteryear actress Achala Sachdev, who featured in the popular song Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen from the film Waqt, has died following a prolonged illness. She was 88.
For the last seven months, the actress was bed-ridden at the Poona Hospital and Research Centre (PHRC), Pune.
“She passed away due to respiratory failure at 5.30pm yesterday. She was bed-ridden for about six months after she suffered a cerebrovascular (brain attack),” said Sachdev’s physician Vinod Shah, who tended to her for more than seven months.
Sachdev is survived by son Jytoin, who is in the US and would be going to Pune for the last rites, Shah said.
Sachdev, who was staying in Pune for several years, had broken her leg after she fell down in her house about six months ago.
She was treated but four days later she suffered a brain infarction in which she lost her vision and movements of upper and lower limbs. Since then, she was being treated at the Poona Hospital and Research Centre, Shah said.
Born in Peshawar, Sachdev, who acted in around 150 films, made her film debut with Fashionable Wife (1938). Her most memorable role was as Balraj Sahni’s wife in the 1965 blockbuster Waqt, where she was part of the legendary song Ae Meri Zohra Jabeen.
