Ayushmann Khurrana birthday special: Watch his 5 best scenes from Vicky Donor, An Action Hero and more

 day ago

Having made his Bollywood debut a decade ago, Ayushmann Khurrana turns 38 on Thursday. He may not have record-breaking box office numbers in his kitty but Ayushmann had always had a knack for choosing the most interesting, poignant, and untouched subjects for his films. From Vicky Donor, to Article 15, his films are the perfect blend of social messages and entertainment. As he celebrates the box office success of his latest outing, Dream Girl 2, we take a look at some of the most popular iconic scenes from his films over the years. 

Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan: When Bhumi discovers Ayushmann's issue

In the 2017 film, Ayushmann played the role of a middle class man who suffers from erectile dysfunction. The film often refers to his condition as 'gents problem'. The entire movie has been smartly written balancing the humour and the effort to address a taboo subject. There is one scene in particular which showcases a crucial point and is wonderfully essayed by Ayushmann. It is the sequence in which Bhumi Pednekar in the film finds out about Ayushmann's erectile dysfunction.

Vicky Donor: Scenes of denial with Annu Kapoor

Ayushmann left a remarkable impression on critics as well as audiences right from his first film. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film addressed fertility issues prevalent in our society and Ayushmann essayed the role of a young Punjabi man who becomes a sperm donor by chance. Some of the funniest scenes include the ones where Annu Kapoor tries his best to convince Ayushmann for sperm donation while he is simply not ready to give in.

Andhadhun Murder scene

Sriram Raghavan's fine thriller also features seasoned actors Tabu and Radhika Apte. Ayushmann plays the role of a man who pretends to be blind, in order to manage a constant livelihood for himself. Quite early in the film, we see Ayushmann performing privately for Tabu in her house while she happily kills her husband and hides his body. Ayushmann's act as a man who is shocked and scared to witness such a thing, yet cannot even react to it, is nerve-racking.

Article 15 : Ayushmann realises caste dynamics

Article 15 is Anubhav Sinha's brilliant take on the caste system in India that continues to plague the society. The scene in which Ayushmann realises his own privilege, and that of a few others around him is also important for the sake of the film's narrative.

An Action Hero: Tussle with Jaideep

Ayushmann's 2022 film with Anirudh Iyer is a major deviation from his usual filmography. Not only is this a murder thriller, it also offers no outright social message. Nonetheless, the crisp film offers Ayushmann a new range of performances to deliver and he aces it all. To not just feature beside an actor like Jaideep Ahlawat, but also come face-to-face with him, shows his confidence in his own craft.

Ranveer Singh clings to Alia Bhatt's leg in adorable unseen Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani scene. Watch

Fans are upset that an adorable scene featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh was edited out of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. On Thursday, director Karan Johar took to Instagram to share the scene and left fans wanting more. The scene is shot at the Randhawa mansion and shows a sweet moment between the lead couple.

The scene seemingly follows after the wedding of Rocky's friend, where everyone makes fun of Rani's father, played by Tota Roy Chowdhury, dancing on stage. While Rocky makes amends with the Chatterjee family, he still needs to ask for Rani's forgiveness. So, in the edited scene, we see him still dressed in his neon green outfit, climbing up to the window of his room that is now occupied by Rani.

It begins with Rani muttering to herself how she would soon get over Rocky if she tried, but he comes knocking at the window. He even calls herself ‘befkoof (fool)’ as she thinks she heard the knock on the door. But as soon as he enters the room, he falls at her feet to apologise. Rani acts tough for a bit and calls him a monkey for clinging to her leg. But soon gives in to his puppy eyes and confessions of ‘bhayanak (dangerous) love’ for her.

Watch the scene here:

A short clip from this scene was also part of the trailer, but the whole bit was chopped out of the movie to avoid a 3-hour runtime. Karan even said previously that he could not showcase the song Kudmayi like he wanted to and had to fit it in a small box at the end as the credits rolled.

Fans of Alia, Ranveer and Karan are in love with the scene. “This scene should have been shown in the theatre. It really is a wholesome scene. Not sure why the best scenes are cut,” wrote a fan. “This one is too good. Should have definitely not cut this one,” wrote another. “@karanjohar how will we get over this movie! No matter how many clips u post, they’re all good ! This movie could’ve been a season @ranveersingh @aliaabhatt Once moreeee,” wrote another.

Rocky Aur Rani performed well at the box office, earning ₹346 crore worldwide.

Meanwhile, Sunny Deol's spokesperson had confirmed that the actor had gone to the US for a holiday and not for his father's treatment. Speaking to Indian Express, they said, "Sunny paaji has gone for a family holiday to the US with Dharam ji and his mother. Dharam ji is hale and hearty, and there is nothing to worry. Sunny paaji is a little bugged reading reports about his father’s health because they have gone to enjoy a holiday together.”

Recently the cast and crew of the film hosted a grand success party of Gadar 2, which was also attended by Dharmendra.

Meanwhile, Dharmendra was last seen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film starred Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. Dharmendra played Ranveer's grandfather in the film.

Kyuki waise bhi kisi kaaranwarsh, 8 baje ke baad Punjabiyon ko koi farak nahi padta kya kha rahe hain (I decided the breakfast which included chole bhature and aloo ke parathe.
