Shahrukh Khan Essay
Khan then went on to study theater under the reputed Barry John, whom he credits for carving out the actor inside him, but his mentor considers his pupil as being solely responsible for his greatness and glory, citing Shahrukh to have the perfect combination of talent, perseverance, belief in yourself, a never-give-up-attitude and of course, a bit of luck--factors needed for success.

Shahrukh began his journey by landing the lead role of a commando in 1988 drama series "Fauji" (1988). He was much applauded for his work and soon became the heartthrob of teenage girls, bagging roles in other serials such as "Circus" (1989) and _"Dil Dariya" (????)_, the former was delayed because of various reasons. He also had a minor role in a made-for-television film called In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones(1989) (TV).

His big screen debut came in the form of Deewana (1992), in which he acted alongside the then-top actress of Bollywood, Divya Bharti, and won the prestigious Filmfare award for best debut actor--male. He also starred earlier in a small role in Dil Aashna Hai (...The Heart Knows) (1992). This was followed by another hit, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992).

After a few more films that did average or less at the box office, Khan made the unique choice against all advice to opt for villainous roles and played obsessive, somewhat psychotic characters in Darr (1993) and_Baazigar (1993)_. To everyone's surprise, the films were massive hits and Shahrukh earned his first best actor award, and was also nominated in the villainous role category. His acting was applauded by all in the Indian film industry and carved a niche for the future king. The same year, he bagged the Critics Award for best performance in_Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993)_,a film he often recalls as among his favourites.

A series of hits followed to what would be remembered as one of Khan's most iconic performances, a film that is arguably India's biggest blockbuster and truly complete with the very

I have been noticing the work of Chelah Horsdal for some time, and in anticipation of her soon-to-be-released film CANDiLAND that I was privileged to screen, I was quite honored that in spite of her insanely busy schedule, she was willing to answer a few questions about how she got started in the business, her notable and beloved works, and what she aspires to do in the near and distant future.…

    The Indian film industry has never been popular for its art films. Art films in Indian cinemas usually try to portray a particular aspect of the Indian culture and norm. These movies avoid all the glitz and glamour normally found in Indian movies. No glitz or glamour usually restricts these movies to a low budget nor are these movies able to attract a large number of audience to the cinema. Directors that usually make such movies try to get a point across to the audience using the cinema screen to portray their view of a particular issue within the community.…

    Many films that convey social messages are dismissed as critically acclaimed films, but Lagaan has stood out because of many factors. The movie is about Bhuvan and his team, who against all odds, fought for pride, land and country and emerged as the winners. It emphasises on how a single person with passion can make a difference. The main lead – Aamir Khan is a well known and commercially successful actor, having a great fan following. The movie is set in the village of Chamapaner, which connects with every Indian, as most of them have their roots in some village of India.

    Shah Rukh was already performing at the age of four. When he danced to the radio, his aunts smiled and called him a lady-killer. Shah Rukh danced all around the room, especially if the song was from a film starring the actress Mumtaz. He also imitated Mumtaz`s hip-swiveling walk and coquettish mannerisms. It these unconsciously performed childhood instances that have culminated into what he consciously chose to do in professional sense-----ACTING. Dancing to the radio is a personification of the unconscious or what Freud calls as the “ID”. It has no contact with reality. It is done purely out of innocence without understanding if its right or wrong. It is this unconscious that culminated gradually into EGO or reasoning with reality. Shahrukh understood how this acting had opened a big window of lucrative career oriented opportunities.…
