1/5
Yes Boss
The 1997 romantic drama film features Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, and Aditya Pancholi in the lead roles. It is an adaptation of the 1993 film For Love Or Money, which was directed by Aziz Mirza. In it, Shah Rukh plays Rahul, an ambitious worker whose boss, Siddharth (Aditya), gives him meaningless jobs like getting women to fall in love with him. Rahul’s efforts bear fruit when Seema (Juhi) falls in love with Rahul instead, and they both live happily ever after. The charming romantic film is a treat for cinephiles and is one of the few that teaches that love pierces all.

Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani
The satirical drama, directed once more by Aziz Mirza, follows Ajay (Shah Rukh) and Ria (Juhi), who are journalistic rivals from opposing companies who form an alliance to stage a fake encounter with the minister's brother-in-law, not realising that things will spiral out of control. Madanlal, the brother-in-law, is gunned down by another goon, Mohan, who later escapes from jail. After learning the truth, Ajay and Ria try to save Mohan and get him justice, which does not sit well with their employers, who duped them. Ajay and Ria later led protestors into the prison gates to get Mohan his due justice. The very inspiring film is sure to boost you with emotions of patriotism and justice.

5/5
Duplicate
Action, comedy, and drama—Duplicate has it all. Helmed by Mahesh Bhatt, the film features Shah Rukh Khan in double roles as Bablu and Manu, Juhi Chawla as Sonia, and Sonali Bendre as Lily. The chaotic tale runs between the two opposing worlds of Bablu and Manu and the chaos it brings when their worlds intermingle; the police can’t identify the real goon, and their girlfriends are also not able to identify their respective boyfriends. The tale becomes a fun ride and keeps you hooked to the screens till the very happy ending that Bablu deserves.
