Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008)

SHAHRUKH IS AWESOME!  Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is proof of his amazing acting abilities!  He plays a less than remarkable, cute, little mustached man so well.  "Punjab Power, lighting up your life!"  And then he plays his own alter ego, and other man, as this shy little man tries to win the heart of his wife.  Dressing up as a cocky flashy man will get you noticed, but it will cause problems later.

Aisha (2010)

This is basically the Bollywood version of Emma, the Jane Austin classic.  Ever seen Clueless?  Same type deal.  A modern retelling of Emma, where a rich popular girl loves matchmaking and upgrading her less fortunate friends.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995)

Romantic Comedy 8/10

So now well in my crush on Shahrukh, I watched Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.  This is the film that made Shahrukh and Kajol famous.  It's also the most famous Bollywood of all time.  It's still getting played in India.  It's the "All Time Blockbuster."  There is well reason for that.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)

I said Shahrukh made me love him in Kal Ho Naa Ho... well... hopeless now.  Kuch Kuch made me obsessed with him for life.  I think it's his hair.   His hair is soooooo sexy.  Especially in this one... especially that one scene where it's raining so his hair is wet, and he's wearing that open black shirt... yeah.  I'm a goner.  Shahrukh, why you make me love you?!?!

Love Aaj Kal (2009)

This one is an interesting film, as it follows two alternate story lines, with the past being told to help the present.  Saif Ali Khan plays both the young version of the man telling about the past, Veer Singh, and the main man in the present, Jai, as well.  Veer is telling his story to Jai to keep him from messing up his love life through putting career and other obligations first as Jai and his girlfriend Meera (Deepika Padukone), break up.

Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007)

Another Saif Ali Khan family film.  It's like he's either in the sketchy boundary pushing ones, or he is playing a cute dad type.  Either a dorky, lovable, ladies man type guy (Dil Chahta Hai, Kal Ho Naa Ho), or he's a bad-a dude.  Well, that shows how versatile he is. 

Salaam Namaste (2005)

Have you ever seen that 1995 Hugh Grant/Julianne Moore movie Nine Months?  Well, Salaam Namaste has a pretty similar plot.  It's kind of a hard plot to enjoy, but with Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta, it is at least well made.

Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)

I have never REALLY cried in a movie before.  I get a little teary eyed sometimes during emotional parts, depending on how relevant I think the emotion is.  This film changed it all.

Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002)

Mmmmmm Hrithik Roshan.  Another film in which Rani Mukerji proves herself to be awesome.  I was also introduced to Kareena Kapoor, who actually married Saif Ali Khan back in 2012, and Hrithik Roshan who is one of the dreamiest men I have laid eyes on.  He has a very good smolder stare.  It's like he's angry and in love with her at the same time, what passion is in those eyes, mmmm!

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008)

Saved myself by going back to the power coupling of Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji!  This film is like a mash up of Nanny McPhee, Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, as it's the magical nanny coming to save the day story.

Yeh Dillagi! (1994)

So, letting my actor crush decide what to watch next is not the best thing to do always, although it usually produces some kind of results.  I guess that was what lead me to watch Fanaa all too soon, but in the case of looking for Saif Ali Khan films, it lead me to discover Yeh Dillagi!

Hum Tum (2004)

Giving Bollywoods another chance, I discovered my all time favorite (still) in Hum Tum and my actor crush (aka Bollywood Boyfriend) Saif Ali Khan.  I had already seen him in Dil Chahta Hai, but it was through this film that I discovered the greater depths of his awesomeness (and hotness).  Not only does this film show how great Saif is, but I also discovered my very favorite actress Rani Mukerji.  Seriously, she is pretty amazing.

Fanaa (2006)

So following my friend's advice I looked for more Aamir Khan films as I approached the world of Bollywood. Fanaa was probably not the best choice for an armature such as I. Like most Aamir Khan films, Fanaa has an agenda and political message. It actually caused a lot of controversy when it first was released, as the main plot of the film has to do with terrorism and regional conflicts and prejudice.

Bride and Prejudice (2004)

While this is not really a Bollywood (it really isn't), it has some of the elements of a Bollywood.  I'll be honest, after my first film, Dil Chahta Hai, I didn't know where to look next.  I had watched it with a friend and she only gave me some vague suggestions, such as films with Aamir Khan in them ☺.

Dil Chahta Hai (2001)

This is the story of three friends as they grow up, grow apart, fall in love, and reconcile as they grow together again, now more mature.
