Salman Khan: Cliches that make his films a hit

Bollywood's heartthrob: Salman Khan has a huge fan following and understandably so. The handsome actor has carved out his own niche in the Indian film industry. He can pull off a film on his own and adheres to certain cliches when it comes to his films. Well, his fans never complain and the box office numbers bear testimony to this.

Salman Khan: Cliches that make his films a hit

Only Salman Khan can fight standing on the roof of an electric train in Ek Tha Tiger, and dump his cycle to walk with a swag in front of a speeding train in Kick. Jumping from high rooftops and shooting from both hands is also a child’s play for bhai. The actor can still put even the fittest of newcomers to shame with his never-seen-before action sequences.

Salman Khan: Cliches that make his films a hit

Salman Khan is ageless, and confidently romances actresses that are half his age. The actor has launched several newcomers opposite him in big banner films. He paired up with Zarine Khan in Veer, Daisy Shah in Jai Ho, Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg, and former Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez in Kick. The Sri Lankan diva is twenty years younger to Salman, but she is still one of many B-Town babes wishing to work with Salman Khan.

Salman Khan: Cliches that make his films a hit

Even though Salman Khan's films are loaded with action sequences and dance numbers, it cannot be a complete entertainer without a shirtless scene. His fans wait for him to remove his shirt onscreen at least once. Unless he flaunts his six-pack abs and delivers one-liners, the film is far from over, no matter how serious the situation is. The hunk began his shirtless act from ‘Oh oh jaane janaa’ song and carried on the trend throughout his career.

Salman Khan can act, fight and dance without a break. The actor is known for his most memorable dance numbers and is counted among the best dancers of Bollywood. However, he doesn’t forget to add a special touch to every dance number he does. From his belt shaking act in ‘Hud hud dabangg’ to the towel act in ‘Jawani phir na aaye,’ Salman Khan knows the art of creating a musical anthem by introducing a customised dance step.

Salman Khan: Cliches that make his films a hit

Salman Khan is a trend-setter and no filmmaker has ever questioned his decision to flaunt the turquoise bracelet in every film. Salman is identified with the silver chain bracelet and was seen wearing it in the film Jai Ho too. He considers the bracelet, which was gifted to him by his father Salim Khan, as his lucky charm. Moreover, the bracelet is now a popular accessory and is also sold in the market.
