Why Mohabbatein worked

Shah Rukh Khan is to Diwali what  Aamir Khan is to Christmas and  Salman Khan is to Eid. It clashed with Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt’s Mission Kashmir, and trumped it at the box-office. That was the time when SRK was the infallible force of Hindi Cinema.

Amitabh Bachchan went through a massive slump in his career in the 90s. Mohabbatein was a career-reinvention and resurrection. Already enjoying the cult of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the actor owned every nuances of his booming and intimidating character of Narayan Shankar. He gets a fantastic introduction shot in slow-motion accompanied by the beats of a drum, before Khan arrives with a violin.
