hat can one say about Shahrukh that hasn't already been said? That he's young. Energetic. Not quite handsome and yet has a certain something. Is it his lop-sided grin, or dimples, or that unruly mop of hair? What is it about Shahrukh Khan that makes him the huge success that he is?
See him on screen and you can't decide whether he's a great actor or a complete sham. No measured emotions of Dilip Kumar. Or the expolosive anger of Amitabh Bachchan. Or the charismatic good looks of Dharmendra. Or even the lovable intensity of Aamir Khan.
Maybe because he's a bit of all these. And more. He's real - someone we know. |
|  Life is so unfair - he seemed to say as the obsessed, rejected lover in Darr. When he can't pluck up the courage to express his true feelings in Dilwale Dulhania... we share his anguish. And all his dreams of success in Yes Boss. Because we've been there - we know what it's like.
And that is the Shahrukh Khan magic. He invites us into his celluloid world - and we find ourselves on familiar ground. A world of ordinary people like ourselves. He makes us comfortable. And shows us his enormous talent - a talent for making his audience identify so completely with him.
|
 Is it the films that come his way? Or the roles he picks and chooses? Who knows. Who really cares? He's one of us - that's what matters. That is the magic of a legend in the making. The magic that is Shahrukh Khan. |
