30 Years of King Khan

30 years of King Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, King Khan is not just a name but the heartbeat of millions of people across the globe. A normal boy who came to Mumbai just with the dream of ruling the city is now ruling the millions of hearts. From being a TV actor to one of the highest-paid actors in the world, it is a memorable journey, and this generation is lucky enough to see an actor like Shah Rukh Khan. 

He was born on November 2 in the year 1965, in Delhi. A star was born that day. SRK started his career by making small appearances in different television series during the late 1980s, and finally, in the year 1992, with the movie named Deewana, he made his debut in the Bollywood industry, and now it is 2022, exact 30 years, and it is not a short time to survive in the industry, but the lion knows to take his place in the jungle as we say.

In his early times, Shah Rukh Khan was known for playing villainous roles as he has played the roles in movies like Darr in the year 1993, Baazigar in 1993, and Anjaam in 1994, but after he played the role of Raj in the iconic movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in the year 1995, the perspective of the audience changed. Later he played some more positive roles to make his mark and did movies like Dil Toh Pagal Hai in the year 1997, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in the year 1998, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001 for his performance. He created that mark in the heart of everyone. 

There’s nothing more cliche than hero ki entry. Shah Rukh Khan’s introduction in Deewana was the most cliché-bowling along on a motorcycle on Marine Drive. It was 1992. A TV actor, Shah Rukh Khan, was expected to appear in Raj Kanwar’s melodrama, starring Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti. When that film opened, no one knew what was about to happen.

Before the interval, Kapoor and Bharti had done what heroes and heroines in Bollywood movies do. Sung, danced, romanced. Despite being relatively new in Bollywood, Bharti knew how to catch your attention.

A total dhamaka was that motorcycle scene when SRK was introduced. On the first day, we were at the Odeon in CP (which is now a swish PVR). A clap, hoot, and whistle erupted throughout the room. The clichéd entry says: we saw a star being born before our eyes. We could feel these things, and there it was: that sense of something shifting, something brand new, some kind of tectonic force emanating from that scene.

A near-forgotten film starring Mani Kaul was SRK’s other film that year, Ahmaq (based on Dostoevsky’s “The Idiot”). Despite the fact that my faint remembers of that film, the kind of ‘festival film’ only cinephiles see. In one of the arresting frame, his face peers out from behind a wall, and there is an intense sense of self.

However, it was interesting that he could make that film with Mani Kaul, who was avant-garde. A few others showed that SRK wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and do ‘different’ cinema.

Have you seen Ketan Mehta’s sultry satire ‘O Darling Yeh Hai India’ with Deepa Sahi or Mirza’s way ahead of its time fleece satire ‘Maya Memsaab’?

But fate and his overriding ambition to become a star- yes, that’s what he wanted, right from the popular DD serial ‘Fauji,’ when he became a huge heartthrob- put a stop to all of that. With this film, SRK started his dizzying ascent, a Delhi boy who conquered Bombay based on his unshakeable conviction, deep dimples, and widespread arms: yes, he did spread those arms wide in ‘Deewana,’ for the first time, his trademark adaa.

In Aziz Mirza’s ‘Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman,’ Juhi Chawla was the bigger star; did several highly successful bad boy roles, such as ‘Darr,’ ‘Baazigar,’ and ‘Anjaam’; played a near-loser role in Kundan Shah’s ‘Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.’ For the right reasons, that film has become a cult classic.

Early on, he demonstrated that he was capable of self-deprecation, which was a quality no other huge star possessed, and which has served him well over the years. In addition, he has shown that he possesses more than those five expressions he claims to possess. In reality, we didn’t want him to do anything other than spread those arms wide, wide, wide.

As he left the handlebars and jumped up on the seat (where were the alert Bombay traffic cops? Probably watching the shoot), he sang: koi na koi chahiye, Pyaar karne waala. That was all there was to it.

A third of a century later, he still has it.
