Salman Khan made his debut about 2 and half decades ago in Biwi Ho To Aisi, where he had a supporting role to play. Since then, he has featured in more than 75 films (including special appearances). His acting talent has always been under-rated, but what you simply cannot argue, is the fact that he is one of the most successful superstars India has ever seen.
Here is my list of Salman Khan’s Top 10 Performances
1. Tere Naam: Salman put his heart-n-soul into the character of Radhey Mohan in Tere Naam. The movie came at a time when his career was quickly sliding and brought him back into reckoning. Although the film wasn’t one his biggest hits commercially, it remains his most liked and acclaimed performance.
2. Dabangg: It was a close call between Dabangg and Tere Naam as Salman lived the character of Chulbul Pandey to the fullest. Humor, Anger, Romance.. it was a prefect blend of every emotion. The commercial success of Dabangg was also the turning point of his career after a prolonged lean patch.
3. Hum Aapke Hain Kaun: These kind of boy-next-door roles are actually very tough to enact because there is a very thin line, which if crossed might look pretty awkward or unconvincing on screen (like Hrithik Roshan in Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon). But Salman played the iconic character of Prem with ease and looked every bit the character.
4. Judwaa: This was the movie that started his partnership with David Dhawan and they both went on to work in several hits over the last decade. Both the characters – Tapori Raja and the nice guy Prem – were poles apart from each other. And Salman was at his best here. Unfortunately, he won’t be a part of the sequel.
5. Maine Pyaar Kiya: This is were it all started for Salman Khan. Under Sooraj Barjatya’s brilliant direction, Salman was raw and lovable. Considering the fact that this movie was only his 2nd release, his performance was superb. He fitted the role to the T and Maine Pyaar Kiya made him an overnight superstar.
6. Wanted: Salman looked at ease with action in the remake of Pokkiri and played both the rowdy as well as the officer’s part very well. Action scenes were brilliantly done. Although Wanted wasn’t as successful as Dabangg, it started the trend of south remakes and action entertainers in Bollywood (along with Aamir’s Ghajini of course)
7. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam: This movie boasts of some power packed performances by all it’s lead stars – Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai were terrific, but Salman was a stand-out. His chemistry with Aishwarya was electrifying, arguably the best he has shared with any of his leading ladies. The off-screen relationship that the two shared during the time, translated into beautiful chemistry on screen.
8. Biwi No. 1: The portrayal of a infidel husband, caught between his loyal wife and an attractive girlfriend, with elements of comedy was done perfectly by Salman in this David Dhawan directed entertainer. The movie went on to become the biggest hit of the year.
9. Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai: Salman played the role of a brat and then a responsible father with utmost conviction. The character was tailor made for him and left a lasting impression. The Deepak Sareen directed film also featured Twinkle Khanna.
10. Jaan-e-Mann: This is one of my personal favorites, simply because it didn’t do too well at the box-office. I still wonder why the movie failed to make a mark, but for me this is one of the best emotional performances by Salman, ever!
So there it is, that’s my list of Salman Khan’s Best 10 performances. More than the film’s popularity and success, the list is based on his on-screen histrionics, which is the reason why some of his biggest hits are ranked lower. Also I pondered a lot but found it hard to include Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Andaz Apna Apna, Karan Arjun, No Entry, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi or Saajan as these movies had some solid performances by his other male co-stars.
Some of his other noteworthy performances that didn’t make it to the Top 10 list were Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Khamoshi , Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya and Garv.
Do give your views and your own Top 10 list. Any other performance which you consider was worthy enough to make it to the list?

Thanks for the suggestions you share through this blog. In addition, many young women who become pregnant do not even seek to get health care insurance because they are concerned they won’t qualify. Although a lot of states now require that insurers produce coverage no matter what about the pre-existing conditions. Premiums on most of these guaranteed plans are usually greater, but when with the high cost of medical care it may be any safer route to take to protect your current financial potential.

Thanks for your publication. One other thing is that individual states in the United states of america have their particular laws of which affect house owners, which makes it quite difficult for the the legislature to come up with the latest set of recommendations concerning foreclosure on householders. The problem is that a state features own guidelines which may have impact in a negative manner in regards to foreclosure insurance policies.
I have mastered some points through your website post. One other subject I would like to mention is that there are several games on the market designed particularly for toddler age children. They consist of pattern acceptance, colors, family pets, and patterns. These often focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This keeps children and kids occupied without having the experience like they are studying. Thanks

Thanks for your post. Another item is that being a photographer includes not only difficulty in recording award-winning photographs but in addition hardships in getting the best digital camera suited to your needs and most especially issues in maintaining the standard of your camera. It is very genuine and obvious for those photographers that are in capturing the actual nature’s interesting scenes – the mountains, the actual forests, the wild or even the seas. Visiting these exciting places definitely requires a dslr camera that can meet the wild’s tough landscapes.

One other issue issue is that video games are usually serious in nature with the main focus on knowing things rather than amusement. Although, it has an entertainment part to keep your children engaged, each one game is usually designed to improve a specific experience or programs, such as math concepts or scientific discipline.
