Salman Khan is celebrating his birthday today. The superstar turned 56 today and recently overcame a big problem. He was bit by a snake but fortunately, it was non-venomous and he is healthy.
Although Salman Khan is not known for great films, he has a big filmography. There are many blockbusters, but the actor is not known for brilliant performances and great films. Still, there is no doubt about the fact that he is a superstar and his fans look upon him.
So here is us telling you, the 5 best films in the decades-long filmography of Salman Khan.
Khamoshi: The Musical– Disney+Hotstar
Khamoshi: The Musical is the debut film of legendary director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He is known for stellar music and bringing out the best from the actors. This form however is not known for Salman Khan’s performance. Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala nailed their roles to perfection.
As the name suggests, the film is a musical and an extremely soothing musical. Jatin-Lalit composed the music while the legendary Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the lyrics. The music was hugely celebrated but the film was way ahead of its time. So even after appreciation from critics, it failed at the box office.
Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya – Zee5
Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya is a romantic comedy that is free to stream on Zee5. Directed by Sohail Khan, this film stars Salman Khan with Kajol, Arbaaz Khan and Dharmendra.
This is a hilariously funny film and so are some of the songs. It was known for its amazing album and brilliant comedy timing by Salman. It was a super hit at the box office and still manages to tickle us. There were three different pairs of music directors and the evergreen iconic song O O Jaane Jana was from this film itself.
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam – Jio Cinema
This is an immortal film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Known for being one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, this film changed the life of Salman Khan. Although Aishwarya Rai grabbed all the limelight and appreciation for her brilliant portrayal, Salman still manages to blow the furnace of a lover’s heart.
This film can never be missed if someone likes musical films. Salman’s performance particularly in the first half was extremely hilarious.
Kyon Ki… – Prime Video
Kyon Ki… is one of the finest performances by Salman Khan. He played the character of a person who goes insane after an accident. The doctor who was taking care of him fell in love with him and her father couldn’t stand it. It had a very tragic end and probably that’s why it failed at the box office.
Fans couldn’t stand him being so pathetic on the screen. Whenever Salman has experimented with something with his films, his fans have given a clear NO to it. Maybe that’s why we struggle to find good movies in his career. The music of this film was greatly celebrated and still remains popular.
Tere Naam – Jio Cinema
Tere Naam is a highly tragic film that remains the best performance by Salman Khan. He played the character of Radhe who is a local goon and ultimately goes insane for the girl he loved. It was a remake of a Tamil film called Sethu.
The music of the film was opulent and perhaps one of the greatest albums of the 21st century. The ending of the film was extremely painful and Salman played his character in a brilliant manner.
