srk's best movie
28 February 2017
You'll hear it once and obviously you know why this is not just mine but Shahrukh khan's favourite movie (no it's not because he's in it, even though he makes it look good) and here is why.

Sunil (Shahrukh Khan) is a musician yet a failure at life as he never passes his grades and usually lies. His father labels him as good for nothing. Among Sunil's friends-cum-band members Chris (Deepak Tijori), Imran (Ashutosh Gowariker), Tony (Aditya Lakhia) and Yezdi (Kurush Deboo), Sunil is in love with Anna (Suchitra Krishnamurthy) for a very long time and always dream to tell his feelings towards her and marry her. However, Anna is in love with Chris as Chris is in love with Anna. Whenever the two get closer, Sunil is in despair and causes tensions between them just so they can separate. He also seeks help from Father Braganza (Naseeruddin Shah), Anthony (Goga Kapoor), Patel (Tiku Talsania) and his sister. However, sometimes it leads to him depression of envy as he wishes he could be like Chris (being wealthy and rich)

May be a typical story however what makes it so interesting is Sunil. He's not wealthy, doesn't possess much money, never passes his grades, his passion for music and his love for Anna. You relate a lot of people like Sunil as you come across life. I relate myself with Sunil as well as most people. This is not your average "boy-conquers-the- world", chivalrousness related, and your typical "falling in love and getting married in the end" type of movie. This movie explains a lot of realism and true concepts of people as it is still known nowadays. Hats off to Kundan Shah for bringing real life of people in a movie so excellently directed.

Direction by Kundan Shah is just excellent as well as the story and screenplay. However let's not forget the performances.

Deepak Tijori is likable as Chris as he portrays his character excellently. Suchitra Krishnamurty is beautiful as Anna and really shows her performance brilliant. Naseeruddin Shah is great! The rest of the cast is simply amazing including Ashutosh Gowariker.

But this movie belongs to Shahrukh Khan. Who else could perform Sunil than the King Khan himself? His physique, his expressions and dialogues really brought the realism in the movie.

Music is just amazing as well! Ae Kaash and Deewana are the best songs in my opinion. The rest are worth listening too.

Overall, best SRK movie and do not miss it!
