Devdas of 'Devdas'
Shah Rukh Khan stands tall in this epic movie. An Indian romantic drama directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, based on the 1917 Sharat ChandraChattopadhyay's novel Devdas moved everyone.

Veer of 'Veer Zaara'
This is a classic example of what an SRK romantic film does to an overdone plot -- Indian hero, Pakistani heroine and their love story over the borders. From drama, to songs, to characters and the screenplay; this film had it all.
The film has won many awards including the Best Film Award in 2005 at Bollywood Movie Awards.

Dev Saran of 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'
The film's tagline- 'A Love.... That Broke All Relationships' emboldened Shah Rukh's lover boy act as he wooed not one but two actresses in the film. The film had its own twists, making it another classic SRK film!
The film's song 'Mithwa' became a love anthem.
