SRK Turns 59: 5 Films He’d Rather Forget

November 2, 2024: As Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) , the undisputed King of Bollywood, celebrates his 59th birthday, fans around the world are reminiscing about his illustrious career. With a filmography that spans over three decades, SRK has delivered countless memorable performances.

However, even the biggest stars have their off days. Here are five films that Shah Rukh Khan would probably love to forget and move on from.

1. “Guddu” (1995)

Despite SRK’s rising stardom in the mid-90s, “Guddu” failed to make a mark at the box office. The film, which revolves around a young man dealing with the aftermath of a tragic accident, was criticized for its weak storyline and lackluster performances. Even Shah Rukh’s charm couldn’t save this one from sinking into obscurity.

2. “Ram Jaane” (1995)

Released in the same year as “Guddu,” “Ram Jaane” saw SRK playing a street-smart orphan who turns to a life of crime. While the film had its moments, it was largely panned for its over-the-top drama and inconsistent plot. Despite Shah Rukh’s earnest performance, “Ram Jaane” remains one of his less celebrated works.

3. “English Babu Desi Mem” (1996)

This romantic comedy, which features SRK in a double role, was a commercial and critical failure. The film’s convoluted plot and lack of chemistry between the lead actors were major drawbacks. “English Babu Desi Mem” is often remembered as a misstep in Shah Rukh’s otherwise stellar career.

4. “Trimurti” (1995)

Directed by Mukul S. Anand and produced by Subhash Ghai, “Trimurti” was expected to be a blockbuster. However, the film, which starred SRK alongside Jackie Shroff and Anil Kapoor, turned out to be a major disappointment. The ambitious project was marred by a weak script and poor execution, making it one of the biggest flops of the year.

5. “Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke” (2004)

“Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke” is a film that Shah Rukh Khan would likely prefer to erase from his filmography. The movie, which was released years after it was shot, suffered from outdated production values and a disjointed narrative. Despite SRK’s presence, the film failed to resonate with audiences and critics alike.

While these films may not have lived up to expectations, they are a testament to Shah Rukh Khan’s willingness to take risks and experiment with different roles. As he celebrates another year of life and success, fans can look forward to many more memorable performances from the King of Bollywood.

Shah Rukh Khan‘s 59th birthday has sparked an outpouring of love and admiration from both his industry colleagues and fans. Here are some highlights:
