definitly Shah Rukh is not a monkey in the literal sense even if he does fool around in some of his movies. I am a great fan of his, now a resident in Melbourne and am fit to be his grandmother but somehow he appeals to me, I am not a hindi movie fan but while in India I used to watch some of his movies with my family.He is a great actor and shines in any role he does, keep it up Shah Rukh! Best wishes. Rita Marikar
Correction: He dances in weddings, and does as told because he commands a huge remmuneration for it. And as for Veer-Zaara, it is very sad that in this day and age, the Indian audiences are still entertained by a mixture of inane storylines and overdose of emotions, and of course good looking people in designer clothes. And wait for it..they will expect an oscar nomination for it as well...we can never compete with any industry around the world till we bring back indian cinema back to reality..but thanks to the elite crowd of close buddies consisting of the chopras, the farha akthars, johars and shah rukh khan we will have to face this glucose-overdose movies for quite some time more. The bright side is that we have atleast an Aamir Khan or Ram Gopal Varma to bring the much required refreshing storylines and performances.
