Shahid Kapoor though entered as a star kid in the industry, but the actor had to struggle a lot during the initial days. Proving his talent in films like Haider and Jab We Met, Shahid has come a long way and settled his position as a superstar in the industry.
Today, on the actor’s 41st birthday let us talk about the top 5 cult films of Shahid Kapoor which has changed the dynamics of his acting skills.
1. Kaminey
Vishal Bhardwaj’s directorial Kaminey was one of the metaphoric films in Shahid Kapoor’s career. Kaminey is a film full of raw action, dark humour, catchy music, and strong performances. Shahid in the film is very impressive and it’s undoubtedly one of his most challenging roles ever.
2. Udta Punjab
Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Dijith Dosanjh starrer Udta Punjab is a film that perfectly shows humorous stories but unlike other Bollywood movies, the film didn’t seem forced they felt quite natural. This is exactly where Shahid Kapoor’s character came in, he portrayed a troubled rock-pop star, his character provided the much-needed humor and made the movie much more interesting and “fun” to watch.
3. Haider
Again Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor teamed up and created magic onscreen with a beautiful Hindi visual adaption of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Haider starring Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Shraddha Kapoor, and others is one of the brilliant films by Vishal Bhardwaj.
4. Jab We Met
A mediocre mellow drama yet an eye calming film. A perfect love story by Imtiaz Ali starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan is still everyone’s favourite and also the characters Geet and Aditya are stored in our hearts.
5. Kabir Singh
2019 released Kabir Singh was one of the sensational hits of Shahid Kapoor’s career. The angry young lover and his deadly look was so much appreciated by the viewers and loved by his fans.
