Is Salman Khan’s Acting Getting Worse With Age? These 7 Movies Say Yes

Salman Khan is a Bollywood superstar and a household name in India. He has been entertaining audiences for over three decades with his acting, dancing, and action skills. However, it is no secret that some of his recent movies have been major disappointments at the box office. Films like “Kissi Ka Bhai Kissi Ki Jaan”, “Race 3”, “Tubelight”, “Bharat”, “Antim”, and more have not been well-received by critics or audiences. This has led many to wonder whether Salman’s acting has gotten worse with age.

There are many reasons why Salman’s recent movies have not been successful. One of the main reasons is that the stories and characters are often poorly written, which makes it difficult for even the best actors to deliver a compelling performance. Additionally, many of his recent movies all just feel the same. Salman’s lack of effort in recent movies is quite disappointing knowing how much love his fans shower over him.   

However, it is also worth noting that Salman Khan has delivered some truly iconic performances in his career. From romantic dramas to action thrillers, he has played a wide range of characters over the years. Here are 7 movies that are proof that Salman’s acting has gone worse with age:

1. Maine Pyaar Kiya

 This 1989 movie was Salman’s breakthrough role, and it’s easy to see why. He plays Prem, a young man who falls in love with Suman (played by Bhagyashree). The film was a huge commercial success, and Salman’s performance as the charming and romantic Prem is still remembered fondly by audiences today. It’s clear that Salman had a natural talent for acting from a young age.

2. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun

This 1994 movie is a classic family drama that features Salman in one of his most iconic roles. He plays Prem, a cheerful and fun-loving young man who falls in love with Nisha (played by Madhuri Dixit). The film was a huge commercial success and remains one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time. Salman’s performance as Prem is still remembered as one of his best.

3. Andaaz Apna Apna

This 1994 comedy is a cult classic that features Salman alongside Aamir Khan. Salman plays Prem, a bumbling young man who gets mixed up in a crazy scheme to win a fortune. The film was not a commercial success at the time of its release, but it has since become a beloved classic.

4. Karan Arjun

This 1995 movie is a classic action thriller that features Salman alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Salman plays Karan, a young man who is killed by his enemies and reincarnated as Arjun. The film was a commercial success and remains a fan favorite today. Salman’s performance as Karan is energetic and charismatic, and it’s hard not to be swept up in his energy.

5. Khamoshi

This 1996 film is a departure from Salman’s usual roles. He plays Raj, a man who is emotionally distant from his family and struggles to connect with others. The film was critically acclaimed, and Salman’s performance was praised for its nuance and complexity. It’s a reminder that Salman is capable of more than just playing the charming hero.

6. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

This 1999 romantic drama is one of Salman’s best performances. He plays Sameer, a young man who falls in love with his teacher’s daughter, Nandini (played by Aishwarya Rai). Salman’s chemistry with Aishwarya is sizzling, and he brings a vulnerability and depth to his character that is missing from many of his recent roles. It’s hard not to miss the younger Salman when watching this film.

7. Tere Naam (2003) 

Directed by Satish Kaushik, the romantic drama tells the story of Radhe, a rowdy and aggressive man who falls in love with Nirjara, a simple and innocent girl. Salman Khan played the role of Radhe, and he delivered an outstanding performance that left the audience in awe. Salman’s portrayal of Radhe was raw, emotional, and intense. He brought depth and complexity to the character, making the audience feel his pain, anger, and desperation. Salman’s acting was so impressive that he received critical acclaim and several awards for his performance in the movie.

However, when we compare Tere Naam to Salman’s recent movies, we can see a stark contrast in his acting skills. In his recent movies, such as Kissi Ka Bhai Kissi Ki Jaan, Race 3, Tubelight, Bharat, and Antim, Salman’s acting seems to have deteriorated. He seems to be playing the same characters repeatedly, with no significant variations. His dialogue delivery and expressions seem forced and uninspired, leaving the audience disappointed.
