Still Reading Khan SRK

by Mushtaq Shiekh

There`s always been a patriarch for every field. He leads, people follow. He takes new paths -- praised if he`s successful, derided if he fails. But then somebody has to do the job. Somebody has to invent for the others to reinvent. Somebody has to stand up for our fifty six year old philosophy -- for the people, by the people, to the people. Shah Rukh Khan did just that. He invades areas where no actor has ever been. A clear brand philosophy and a brilliant understanding of mass psyche has been the strength of the SRK product. He is probably the best brand ever churned out by Indian industry...

As a Huge (H-U-G-E) Bollywood fan I was so happy to find a book on SRK. This book was a delight from page 1. Ok, I lied. It was a delight right from the front cover. Beautiful pictures, interesting and engaging text, and it weighs more than a wet Nicole Ritchie. What more could you ask for? There was no way I was going to buy this book if I didn't nearly throw my back out lifting it. Just trying to carry it up the stairs was a b****, but I digress...you couldn't pack more SRK into a book if you tried. Trust me, you couldn't!

I've never seen such a huge, rich and gorgeous coffee table book. Even if you are not an SRK fan, yet you'd appreciate the book for gorgeous art and a wonderful compilation of photos.

The text does justice with the photos. However, if you are a huge SRK fan, then chances are, much of the info would be known to you already.

There were certain factual mistakes/typos in the first edition which I pointed out to the author right when the first edition was out.

4 stars for putting together such a nice book.

i'm a die-hard fan of SRK.... and i'm so much excited to read a book on him. Well, i think, that he has faced a lot of Hardships/Troubles in order to achieve the Stardom that he has achieved. He is an Awesome Actor...... finally He Came, He Saw & He Conquered it alllllll

This is the most amazing book I own, to be honest.

First of all, it is HUGE and quite heavy. And chock full of beautiful, rare photographs of Shahrukh throughout the years. The typography-style artwork is just flawless and I love the little tidbits and quotes as well.

SRK is my most favorite man on Earth and this book does him justice. I bought it on eBay for only $23.00 whereas the retail price is around $89.00 USD.

This book is review-proof. Anyone who bothers to hunt down this hard-to-find book is obviously an ardent fan of SRK, and all his fans will LOVE this book. I am a huge fan.

This is a facinating book about a man is more well known than Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt combined. The graphics are intriguing and the informtion is a bit hard to ferret out, but well worth it. Bollywood
has captured my heart and imagination and the people and music are well worth exploring!

खूबसूरत तस्वीरों के साथ शाहरुख खान के जीवन के बारे में एक शानदार किताब। एक उत्कृष्ट "कॉफी टेबल" पुस्तक लेकिन हास्यास्पद रूप से अमेज़ॅन पर कीमत। A wonderful book about the life of Shah Rukh Khan with beautiful pictures. An excellent "coffee table" book but ridiculously priced on Amazon.
