Over the years, Salman Khan has tortured us with movies of varying degrees of awfulness. The man has absolutely no acting chops whatsoever but has still managed to enthrall audiences for two decades with just one dance step, one expression and one weird bracelet! Here are five Salman Khan films that have scarred us for life:
Hello Brother
A bizarre comedy-ghost flick which starred Sohail Khan and Rani Mukherjee where Salman Khan dies and Arbaaz Khan gets his heart in a transplant which allows him to see Salman Khan's ghost, the movie left the audience wondering - what the hell! Thankfully, this was before the era of mass Sallu hysteria and we lived peacefully as the film sank without a trace.
Veer
Apparently, not happy with just torturing us with his bravura performances, Salman Khan felt that he needed to write scripts as well! Salman Khan actually wrote the script of Veer by plagiarising a Russian novel. The movie was supposed to be based in 19th century India with people who liked to dress in bizarre fur and liked their women large! In fact, Salman made Zarine Khan gain eight kg for the movie and the poor girl has been panned by the media ever since about her weight! Sad to think this came from the spawn of one of India's most celebrated scriptwriters!
Partner
The movie brought together the two greatest actors of the generation - Salman Khan and Govinda. Based on the Will Smith-starrer Hitch, the movie has Salman Khan playing the ultimate wingman who can set up any guy with any girl, his only condition being that the guy should be in love and not want a one-night stand!
Tere Naam
Tere Naam is considered Khan's finest acting performance which tells us all you need to know about his career. He plays an ex-college student with a horrible hairstyle who rags a first year and then falls in love with her. Thankfully, a bunch of thugs beat him up so that he loses his memory and he's sent away to an asharam/torture chamber where mentally ill patients are kept in chains. Sadly, he becomes normal and returns to find his true love has committed suicide! Eventually, he replaces the Swami at the asharam because you know ex-patients do make the best therapy givers!
Dabangg
Salman Khan returned with a bang in this flick where he plays a corrupt goon-bashing, big-forehead loving cop. Not only did the movie re-establish Salman Khan as a top actor, it almost gave him a Rajnikanth-like fan following. Experts believe that Dabangg set back Indian cinema by at least 30 years which is sad because it was just overcoming the disastrous 80s era by bringing in some intelligent cinema. Sadly, thenDabangg happened and we've returned to the dark era where films were designed to bring down your IQ levels Since then every actor worth his salt started doing spin-offs of Chulbul Pandey and even Khan did a part 2, Ek Tha Tiger, Ready and Bodyguard. It wasn't just a movie; it was a death knell for intelligent Indian cinema! Only if they could've locked him up before he could do the movie, the map of Indian cinema would've been very different!
