2) Fan 

We say so much about Bollywood remaking stuff from south of Hollywood. When a movie like Fan was made no one cared. A  fan’s dedication towards a star transforming into toxic obsession, with both the fan and the star played by the same actor. If this isn’t unique and new, I don’t have the foggiest idea of what is. I do agree that screenplay wise, there were flaws towards the second half but it didn’t deserve so much bashing from the critics.

SRK as Gaurav was a performance of a lifetime. We all know how toxic hero-worship is in our country and the heights each fan goes to prove their love for their favourite star. We feel terrible for Gaurav when Aryan excuses him yet we likewise feel that he’s crossed a line. Simultaneously, we’re angry at Aryan for being mean to Gaurav however we likewise feel sorry for him for experiencing what he did.  Fan is one of the most underrated SRK movies in recent times.
