- Hey guys 👋 Happy Shah Rukh Khan month to all those who are celebrating the release of Jawan!
In this video essay, I will discuss all things romance and the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan 🥀 incl: How do his films cater to the female gaze? Why are his characters so beloved by women? How did Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge or DDLJ, change the portrayal of masculinity onscreen in Hindi cinema forever? I also share my own personal story of seeing SRK 😍
I discuss two books throughout this video, that I highly recommend if you are a fan of SRK (like me!):
1. King of Bollywood: Shah Rukh Khan and the seductive world of Indian cinema by Anupama Chopra
2. Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh: India's Lonely Young Women and the Search for Intimacy and Independence by Shrayana Bhattacharya

Absolutely loved your reflection and as a die hard SRK Superfan myself who read the books and all the movies and documentaries even interviews you quoted - it was so nice to see someone share the same collective reflection points ! great video girl here from tiktok ❤
Thank you so much for watching & coming over from TikTok 🫶💘💘 so glad you enjoyed it!
SRK is the reason why i'm such a hopeless romantic
❣️❣️❣️
It's completely true that he set the bar so high. Not only for Indian girls but worldwide, and it's so satisfying to see him, either as an actor and a common man, to act coherent to what he tries to portray. My first SRK movie was My name is Khan and I fell in love with him ❤
Now we r eagerly waiting fr dunki😍
He had an extramarital affair with priyanka chopra and it was not a rumour. You may feel bad but it's true.
I think there's nothing new that has been done in Jawaan with the all-women crew plotline. After all, we saw him in Chak De! India and realized his potential when he is surrounded by women, respecting their capabilities. But it is commendable that he keeps choosing such stories and making it a commercially viable trope (loosely used, no negative connotation).
Shah Rukh Khan appears to have a gentle sensitivity that doesn't mind encroaching borders for the betterment of the situation (whether it be pushing the hockey players to their limit in CD! etc.). Also, he often plays characters that are emotionally divergent from the major macho masculine vibes: he cries, he laughs, he teases, he gives you a makeover, he worships you, he's a family man, he strives for a good relationship with his and your parents. And most importantly he plays characters who can say sorry and actually mean it.
I remember when i was a kid, used to watch 80s/90s films and men used to always be shown as this hyper alpha, indestructible force of nature types . . . but srk introduced me to a more softer, kinder, more vulnerable masculinity. . he used cry, get beaten up a bit more than other heroes in his action sequences, do kitchen work in films. . even love stories in those days used to be rebellious. lets run away bhaag chalte hain types . . . srk was the first one to say "main bhagane nahi aya. . bauji khud tumhara haat mujhe denge". . . . i felt so liberated (ironic to be saying it as a man). . i was like. . I like this guyy. . THIS is my mann
❣️❣️❣️
I lovedThe Romantics and I can't thank Yash and Aditya Chopra enough for convincing him that he was a Romance guy. Like Yash uncle said it's his eyes, they are not meant to be doing action movies. Love SRK forever ❤
Totally agree - I cannot imagine Bollywood without the SRK romance films ❣️😭
For me, his on screen portrayal of romance didn't set the high standers of love but it fulfilled it.
I only watched american movies befor, and they can do really good romance movies to. But when I watched Koyla for the first time, and saw Shah Rukh Khan for the first time and Madhuri Dixit. I was amazed, I had never seen love expressed like that before and it felt right. I could see the love in his eyes and it was pure. It wasn't just lust and so on. It was the songs and the hugs and comfort and protection they gave eachother. I could feel thier love without them making out and so on. I wish more movies where made like this, I love a lot of his movies but Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is definitely one of my favorites.
My most favourite Shah Rukh Movie will always be Om Shanti Om. It was the first SRK film that I remember watching in 5th grade. The vulnerable, emotional, calm, ardent lover- Om Kapoor healed my heart and sealed it even before this small child even knew of the word heartbreak. He came and caught me off guard and swept me off my feet. He will be always remembered in my heart for the role that he played and for the fact he is a woman’s man in life (as in outside films) as well.
Omggg this is such a thoughtful & lovely comment - thank you for sharing ❣️❣️❣️ I love reading about everyones fav SRK character - this just makes me want to Om Shanti Om all over again!
Love SRK. From his romance films to his films where he played villains that made me scared and terrified with his performance. I remember watching Darr, SRK’s performance as a villian was scary for me to watch like can we talk about his evil laugh from Bazziagar and Darrr cus that gave me nightmares after watching those.
I've been fan of SRK from his Fauji days, I must have been 13, my favourite film, DDLJ, kuch kuch hota Hain, Karan Arjun, K3G, Mohabbatein, chalte chalte, rab ne banadi Jodi, Veer Zara, yes boss, OSO, KHNH, Chennai express, devdas
Finally a channel like the take that caters to bollywood!!! I've been waiting for such a long time to find bollywood movie analysis
Heyyy - thank you for this comment & Welcome ❣️❣️❣️ Hope you enjoy the videos 🫶
I have watched most of Shah Rukh Khan's movies and love each and everyone one of them. My favourites are Dil Se, Kal ho na ho, K3G, DDLG, Veer Zara, Jab tak hai jaan , Rab ne bana di jodi, Swades, Paheli, Fan.
His acting is amazing and versatile. I think I have never seen someone who can portray emotions through eyes like him. Whenever he has tears in eyes, I start crying so hard. His neck sniff is more intimate than a kissing. I wish I could find someone like Shahrukh in real life. The way he looks at his leading ladies is mesmerizing. Can't forget his cute dimples too❤❤
Agree with everything you wrote! I LOVE that this video is bringing us SRK fans together 😍❤️🫶
My favorite SRK movie is Kal Ho Na Ho and DDLJ!!!
Devdas was my first experience with SRK so that specific movie has a special place in my heart but if I have to pick one I would say Veer-Zaara is my favorite.
i watched devdass too, and the tension filled my body.where the two characters didnt belonged togehther in this world...SRK eyes of sadness mesmeriezed me
My favourite is not a classic one.. But it's nevertheless has SRK spirit...And there's a different level of love in this movie..
The movie is My Name is Khan..
such a heartbreaking story i only watched it for once when i was 8..now even though im 25 i cant get hold of the movie...i feel chokehold watching it.I think i couldnt even last 10 mins without crying in the movie
I saw him in one of the first ddlj episodes and I said, this is what I see, he is experiencing the most perfect masculine love a woman could ask for, I saw my Lord in him and I believe that everyone who loves him thinks the same. He is so perfect that he can convey emotions to people in every centimeter and every point of his face. has been created with care. the most beautiful of creation. Shah Rukh Khan has taken romance to the highest level and raised my expectations in real life, but the truth is that I would not want to have such a love affair with any other man, he is number one in women's hearts with all his different features. My only wish in heaven💞

You are my favourite creator ❤
Lots of love and make more videos

My favorite SRK movie is Dil SE, I know that it is not his popular role but I love ❤️ it nonetheless
I am a simple Guy, My family loves shah rukh khan, so do I.
🦋🦋🦋💗💗
Tysm for the great analysis and interesting perspective on this. I've been looking for a channel like for the longest time and finally found the right one. Potential video idea: Why do we love the SRK-Kajol jodi? An in depth analysis video essay on their shared chemistry both on-screen and off-screen would be a great potential future video. If you happen to see this comment, please do consider!
Through out this video I felt like there can be parallels between women's love for Pride and Prejudice to that of Dilwale Dulhaniya le jaenge. Obviously they are quite distinct and the cultural and period nuances came into play. But we compare the notions of I don't need to fix him, he will fix himself while having grey female characters, is one i can think of.
my only ick is that one interview of his with lady gaga
What’s wrong in that interview? I mean what happened? I don’t remember anything weird about it
The watch scene…😂😂 i take that as a joke now or just ignore it 😂❤
