And when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan’s top-rated movie on IMDb, it’s Ashutosh Gowariker’s Swades, which holds that distinction. The film has an impressive IMDb score of 8.2/10. So, as you can see, Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots has outranked Shah Rukh Khan’s Swades on IMDb, but by a narrow margin.
Plot: The buddy comedy film starts with two college friends, Farhan (R. Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi), who are in search of their long-lost friend Rancho (Aamir Khan), a charismatic genius who disappeared after college. The film also focuses on the time the three friends spent on the campus and how Rancho falls in love with the daughter (Kareena Kapoor Khan) of a rigid college dean (Boman Irani).
Plot: The film follows the story of an Indian-origin NASA scientist, Mohan Bhargav (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who visits India to search for his childhood nanny, Kaveri Amma (played by Kishori Ballal). During his stay in a village, he is deeply affected by the harsh realities of rural life – poverty, caste discrimination, and lack of education, etc. He uses his engineering skills to help the villagers. But soon, he is faced with a difficult decision: return to America or stay back in his country.
