Interested to see which SRK movie this decade is the most popular here.
For me it's Raees. Had a great exciting story (although second half could have been better), memorable performances from SRK and Nawazuddin siddiqui, good songs and refreshing setting. If it was SRK at his peak this would have been a Blockbuster.

Strictly as a film not just performance it is a tie between Dear Zindagi and Don 2. I voted Don 2 as he was the lead instead of Dear Zindagi which was a supporting role. If I could I would vote for both.

Difficult between zero and Raees but I have voted for Raees because I am fan of action movies.

The "best" and the "most popular" isn't the same for me...
The best would be Fan for me, the most popular Chennai Express.

Well the movie that gets the most votes (so far Raees) is the most popular one here.. But Chennai express is overall still SRK's most successful movie so obviously it's more popular than the rest with the general audience, was hoping that would change but so far it hasn't. |

Personally, I would vote for Don 2 as it was a really good rounded movie. The other movies are good too, but many of them have issues which pull them down.
e.g Raees could have been better if it was darker like it seemed to be in the teaser and not 'masalafied' as it seemed in the actual film.

I get your point about Raees, I think its great but it could have been a masterpiece if it was darker. Maybe after Fan SRK wanted to play ot safe..that one had no masala elements and flopped. Still it was a masala movie with depth and overall amazing. Anyway for me Don 2 had clear issues as well. While it's a good Action Movie on it's own it's a disappointing Sequel. The story was too action focused and I didn't like the focus on the heist (like I said before it should have been about his criminal empire). Then no character apart from Don shined and even he was less evil. And of course the twist seemed like a bad rehash of the first one (which was amazing). The best part of the movie were the first 20 minutes or so which felt like classic Don. If anything, I would pick Fan after Raees..that was an amazing movie with barely any flaws. Not to mention SRK's performance, sadly a flop but I have a feeling it will be appreciated more in time |

I grew up with the original Don, i am sorry but they are yet to reach the level and the awesomeness of the original.
They should have just stopped by the first attempt. DON 2 was a good thriller action movie but it had almost nothing to do with the original
I thought SLB and SRK did justice to original Devdas
Farhan’s versions of DON is just meh to me
Big B’s DON remains untouchable

I know it didn't have the twist ending which is kind of lame..since it explains a lot and was really well done. |

While the original was indeed an awesome movie, especially for its time... What SRK adds to it is pretty spectacular I think. Could they have had even more fun "updating" it? Sure, all Farhan ends up doing is riding on the back of SRK's flair. But that is still strong enough to have made it special I feel.

I found SRK as Vijay quite lackluster to be honest, while he was very good as Don.
Big B was awesome in both roles

Amitji could excel in both roles as he was Vijay also in disguise as Don...ShahRukh was - except for a short part - only Don but had to play him like he was Vijay playing Don and excelled in this.

In the original Don, they brag about how he's impossible to catch but he's killed in the first 40 minutes.

Yeah, I remember! Makes indeed more sense for the 'modern' Don  |

I'm not sure how i feel about the fact that a cameo role in Dear Zindagi is the best thing that SRK has done in the last 10 years  Thank you Gauri Shinde |

And the rest of DZ wasn't that interesting to me, Gauri Shinde did a much better job with English Vinglish |

i voted for MNIK because :
BLOCKBUSTER at the box office , breaked several records , made history , jodi no. 1 srk - kajol , nominated at filmfare award best film , srk won best actor popular at filmfare award ( this was in 2010 , which means 9 years now no any filmfare award for srk , i really dont understand whats really going on wrong ) , kajol also won best actress filmfare award popular & also karan johar won best director filmfare award popular.
also remember very well that when MNIK was released it was a big global craze , srk at that time was at the very top level because MNIK was released on 12th february 2010 ( point to be noted here is that , MNIK was not released on diwali or xmas or eid or any special festival date , it was released on friday 12th february 2010 )
MNIK tickets each was sold in germany ( i dont know which city ) for 1000 euros each and tickets of this film were sold like hot cakes ; wow , amazing & brilliant , this really showed at that time the star power of our king of bollywood MR. SHAH RUKH KHAN

performance-wise it was FAN 100%. but for the overall best, i voted for JTHJ.
when i first saw it i was kinda disappointed, but considering the other movies this decade, this was the best because it was, at the end of the day, a Yash Raj film through and through. the only thing that i didn't like in this movie was Katrina to be honest. but her role definitely helped her, as she didn't really need to do much. overall, it was really entertaining.
i think this was the last movie of this kind Shahrukh did. which is sad. i really liked these authentic bollywood movies. now there is a western feel to them, which i know sounds cliche, but this is why i liked bollywood movies to begin with, because they were different, i don't want to see hollywood movies in hindi. just my 2 cents... and if it's not too westernized, it's too masala. i'm not a masala fan. i would say Don2 is second best for me out of this list, and FAN 3rd.

I agree that Bollywood movies are becoming too western but I thought that was true for JTHJ already as well. It felt very forced "western" (from the setting, to the heroine to the dialogue and even story) and lacked the charm and classic BW feel of earlier Yash Chopra movies. Hard to believe it's the same guy who made Veer Zaara for an example. |
