Can you believe it’s been almost 20 years since Hrithik Roshan made movies and started his acting career? I know, I can’t. Feels like yesterday that I was running around wearing Krrish masks to completely drooling over him in Dhoom 2.
Hrithik Roshan has done many amazing films in his career and created a cult fan following for his stunning looks, acting, and dancing skills. Consequently, he has done 22 films, so far. Some of his flicks became blockbuster and a few films failed to impress the audiences. Anyway, let’s focus on the brighter side of the Hrithik Roshan movies that are worth watching!
1. Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000)
172 min | Action, Romance, Thriller
A young girl meets the doppelganger of her deceased boyfriend and now has a chance to find the people who have murdered him.
Director: Rakesh Roshan
Stars: Hrithik Roshan, Ameesha Patel, Anupam Kher, Dalip Tahil
It is the first movie of Hrithik Roshan in his bollywood film career. The flick, directed by his father Rakesh Roshan, got overwhelming response from the viewers. Hrithik’s performance was commendable in the film. Without a doubt, he created history from his entrance as he bagged the Filmfare award as a debut actor as well as best actor for this movie. In this film, Hrithik featured in a dual role and played both the characters amazingly well on screen.
2. Koi..Mil Gaya (2003)
171 min | Action, Drama, Romance

Director: Rakesh Roshan

Undoubtedly, itis regarded as one of the best movies of Hrithik Roshan. Growing up, I’m sure everyone must have watched it at some point of life. His impeccable acting caliber will leave you awe-struck. The plot of the film is kind of adapted from E.T which is a child, who is mentally challenged, gets to meet an alien. The film swept away all the awards that year, as Hrithik again bagged the Filmfare award for best actor and Rakesh Roshan won the best director award for this film.
Thus began the Krrish series.
3. Dhoom 2 (2006)
152 min | Action, Thriller
Mr.A is a fearless thief who steals valuable artifacts. He teams up with the girl he is attracted to but who cannot be trusted. Close on their heels are three police officers trying to apprehend them.
Director: Sanjay Gadhvi
Stars: Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Uday Chopra
When you think of Bollywood films you may think cheesy/over-the-top musical numbers that you can’t help but enjoy. We’ll, Dhoom 2 does exactly that but with a little added extra! It’s cool, it’s exciting, it’s hard not to want to learn all the dances. Including, of course, moments of questionable CGI and action scenes but it wouldn’t be the same if it weren’t.
There are too many questionable holes in the timeline and plot to begin to discuss but if you let yourself get swept into the stunning soundtrack and athletically impressive dance sequences you may not even notice. The story alternates seamlessly between song/dance numbers and scenes of romance, action, and broad comedy which is complimentary of and emphasizes, the “emotional” journey we feel for the characters.
Indeed, it is a fun movie and should be appreciated for all its child-impressive, I-wish-I-was-a-thief heists and getaways, as well as the “, Catch Me If You Can” rip-off criminal, police relationship.

Clearly, a film like Guzaarish isn’t made for the box office. It’s made for the gratification of the senses. And that it does, in ample measure. This movie has beautiful magic and message in it which will make the audience laugh a bit, cry and smile.
Even the plot was about the hopelessness of a man, there was a positivity of a different level throughout the movie. The man who was actually hopeless for himself and fought for his willful death simply smiled and motivated others around him, taught his skills to the person, even in the desire of death, he was laughing and cheerful.
The film is a masterpiece by the ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Hrithik played the role of the paraplegic magician. The film gained massive appreciation from critics for the impeccable acting performances.
