Many on-screen couples have come and gone in the Bollywood film industry, but the magic, romance and unmatched chemistry that the pair of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have spread on the screen, is still an example of that. This evergreen couple has taught a new definition of love to the youth from the 90s till today. Even today, when these two actors come together on screen, the audience’s heart skips a beat.
Let’s take a look at those evergreen and blockbuster films of Shahrukh and Kajol, which not only earned bumpers at the box office but also became immortal in the history of cinema.
1. Baazigar (1993) – created a stir from the very first film
This was the first film of Shahrukh Khan and Kajol together. Now, in this suspense-thriller film directed by Abbas-Mustan, Shahrukh Khan played an anti-hero (negative) character, who takes revenge from Kajol’s father for his father’s death and destruction. Shilpa Shetty and Rakhi Gulzar were also in important roles in the film. After this film, the directors understood that there was something very special in the on-screen chemistry of this pair.
2. Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) – Iconic example of love
Whenever the best romantic films of Bollywood are mentioned, the name of ‘DDLJ’ will come at the top. The craze for this love story of Raj and Simran was such that it ran continuously for more than 20 years (more than 1000 weeks) in Maratha Mandir cinema hall of Mumbai. Amrish Puri, Farooq Sheikh and Mandira Bedi also played memorable roles in this film directed by Aditya Chopra.
3. Karan Arjun (1995) — Blockbuster tadka of reincarnation and action
Directed by Rakesh Roshan, this film is counted among the biggest masala films of Hindi cinema. Shahrukh Khan (Karan) and Salman Khan (Arjun) played the roles of brothers in the film, while Kajol and Mamta Kulkarni were their co-stars. Along with the dialogue “Mere Karan-Arjun Aayenge” and Rakhi Gulzar’s strong acting, the songs of Shahrukh-Kajol were also liked by the audience.
4. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) — “Rahul is a cheater…” The magic of friendship and love
This directorial debut of Karan Johar gave a new trend to college romance. In the film, Shahrukh played the evergreen character of ‘Rahul’ and Kajol played the evergreen character of ‘Anjali’. Based on the message of “Pyaar Dosti Hai”, the film broke all box office records. Rani Mukherjee and Salman Khan (cameo) also played important roles in the film.
5. Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) — big-budget family blockbuster
In this multi-starrer film of Karan Johar, the typical desi and romantic style of ‘Rahul’ and ‘Anjali’ made the audience laugh and cry a lot.
