A glimpse into the three iconic films
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995)—which cemented SRK as the quintessential romantic hero of Bollywood—was directed by Aditya Chopa and co-starred Kajol and Amrish Puri. The musical romance Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), featuring Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor, is a tale of friendship and love masterfully crafted by Yash Chopra. The sports drama Chak De! India (2007)—hailed as one of SRK's most passionate projects—deals with the Indian National Hockey Team (female).
