Must-watch Shah Rukh Khan-Karan Johar Bollywood films you simply cant afford to miss

New Delhi: Ever since the inception of the Hindi film industry, we have seen plenty of actor-director duos who have changed the landscape of Bollywood. From Govinda and David Dhawan to Ranveer Singh and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the pairings have not only elevated the entertainment quotient of cinema but also caused mayhem at the Box Office by setting the cash registers ringing.

And, the ones who have re-defined new-age storytelling are Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar. It is no secret that they are great friends in real life, and their camaraderie is pretty evident in their theatrical projects.

Years back, during the launch of his book An Unsuitable Boy, KJo recalled when he met SRK for the first time. "I grew up feeling movie stars were unapproachable entities. I had then lost track with the generation because I was then in college days, and I was touching base with my father's side of the business. He took me to meet Shah Rukh signing for Duplicate," he said.

Karan added, "I had never met somebody who was a young movie star, who was so loved at that time, and everybody wanted him in their movies. Who was this animated, this conversational, just real person? The fact that he respected my father so much meant the world to me." And, the rest, as they say, is history.

Over the years, Shah Rukh and Karan gave some unforgettable flicks to fans, each time going a step ahead and achieving new milestones. Have a look!

Also starring Kajol, Rani Mukherji, Salman Khan, and Sana Saeed in pivotal roles, the romantic comedy was produced by Karan's father, Yash Johar, under Dharma Productions. The storyline of the movie revolves around two college best friends whose lives change when the daughter of their principal takes admission in the educational institution.

Released on October 16, 1998, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai marked the first collaboration between Shah Rukh and Karan as an actor-director duo. The flick turned out to be a massive commercial success at the Box Office and even won many prestigious accolades at various events.

The family drama was written by Karan as well. It centers around an adopted child who is disowned by his multi-millionaire father after he ties the knot with a poor girl. On IMDb (Internet Movie Database), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is rated 7.4 out of 10, with insights from almost 60 thousand users of the digital platform.

At the time of its release, the film was named among the most expensive Indian movies. It was highly lauded by all for its gripping storyline and compelling performances by the star cast. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham opened to positive reviews from critics.

The romantic drama starred Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherji, Preity Zinta, and Kirron Kher as well. It follows a former footballer and a kindergarten teacher who fall in love with each other despite being married to different people. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna boasted music composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with lyrics penned by the critically acclaimed Javed Akhtar.

The social drama brought to the silver screen the hit pairing of Shah Rukh and Kajol. It presented the story of a Muslim immigrant to the US with Asperger's syndrome whose family suffers from discrimination after the September 11 attacks. It was highly lauded by moviegoers across the globe for the gravity of its subject and how beautifully it was woven cinematically.

According to Sacnilk, My Name Is Khan grossed Rs 111.75 crore at the Box Office in India. The industry tracker further states that it raked in Rs 112.65 crore overseas, taking the total collection to Rs 224.40 crore.

Shah Rukh appeared in the Ranbir Kapoor starrer for limited screen time. However, his character in the flick had a lasting impact. SRK came in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to highlight the importance of unrequited love. It would be wrong to say that SRK's role went viral on social media and garnered the attention of cinema lovers.
