6 Reasons Why Shah Rukh Khan’s Zero Is A Must-Watch Film Of 2018

Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif & Anushka Sharma’s Zero has generated alot of buzz and pre-release hype. An Aanand L. Rai directorial, the film has a stellar leading cast and a highly unique protagonist, all of whom come together to build excitement among fans, the likes of which we’ve seldom seen before.

As Zero finally released at the theatres yesterday, we got to see what the hype was all about. Here’s why we fell in love with Bauua Singh along with his universe:

1. Shah Rukh Khan’s flawless portrayal of Bauua Singh

We were wondering how Bollywood’s king of romance would pull off a Meerutiya dwarf. However, seeing him in this lovable new personality that perfectly mixes naughty with nice is a magical treat we couldn’t have imagined! The accent, the expressions, the vocabulary, and the chemistry – all had us floored from the very first scene!

2. Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma both deliver experimental performances flawlessly

Well, it’s not every day that you see two of India’s most beautiful actresses sharing the silver screen in polarised roles.

Anushka Sharma’s performance as Aafia Yusufzai Bhinder, a brilliant, wheelchair-bound scientist, is a bold new step that she has taken with grace, aplomb, and that trademark quirky freshness that she brings oh-so-well to the table.

Katrina Kaif has slayed in her role of Babita Kumari. Her depiction of a Bollywood starlet battling with personal issues is eye-opening. We’re not afraid to say that this is hands down her best performance ever!

3. The background score as well as the songs 

When it comes to an epic saga like Zero, the powerful acting performances need to be properly backed by an audio experience that drives home the emotion of drama. Issaqbaazi, Mere Naam Tu, and Heer Badnaam feature at perfectly placed milestones in the plot, with the first one cleverly working in some seamless dance cameos too!

Songs apart, the background score hits highs and lows that left us wide-eyed with awe, and teary-eyed with emotion, right where Aanand L. Rai wants it!
