9 Heart Wrenching Movies of Irrfan Khan



It is very hard to believe that one of the versatile actors of the industry, Irrfan Khan is no longer with us. His acting, expressions and his body language said everything about his character. His journey from TV to Bollywood to Hollywood has been filled with struggles. He is the person who teaches you if you believe in something, you will definitely achieve it. He was himself an institute of cinema who has acted in comedy as well as serious movies. Some of the movies which are particularly liked by me are being elaborated below. 

1. Paan Singh Tomar

No one could have done the role of Paan Singh Tomar to such perfection he did. The accent, the body language and dialogue delivery were quite good. You lived with his character in the movie and he made us understand that a dacoit is not born but is made due to different circumstances.

2. The Lunchbox

The Lunchbox is one of those movies where we get to see Irrfan Khan at his best. No one would have done the role with such conviction the way he did. His loneliness, nature and everything connects us with him. 

3. Rog 

Rog is a movie where Irrfan played the role of a cop to perfection. His falling in love with a model who is presumed to be dead and saving her from all when she appears alive in front of all makes the movie a gripping thriller. 

4. Kamla Ki Maut 

The movie was released in 90s and is way ahead of its time. The love affairs of each character is shown in the movie. It is hidden to all but known only to the specific character. Irrfan plays the role of a lover and he can be related to all the real-life lovers and their expectations. The movie shows the reality of society. 

5. Ek Doctor Ki Maut

The movie is set in 90s era and follows the story of a doctor who is never credited for his invention. The doctor does not really die in the movie but somewhere his soul is dead. Irrfan is in the role of a reporter who supports the doctor in his research and tries to bring out his invention to the world which ultimately gets foiled. 

6. Salaam Bombay 

Salaam Bombay was directed by Mira Nair and tells the stroy of Mumbai slums and lives of people in those slums. Irrfan is in a small role as a letter-writer. His short performance brought him to the notice of people and it was his first film though he never got credited for it. 

7. New York 

New York is a movie based on the 9/11 attacks that happened in New York and directed by Kabir Khan. Khan in the role of an FBI officer does complete justice to his role and gives a really nice performance. 

8. Jurassic World

Irrfan once said that he did not have money to buy tickets for Jurrasic Park. He acted in Jurrasic World with great conviction. His role was short yet appealing. The makers of the movie released a poster on Twitter of the movie with Irrfan's photo when he passed away as a tribute to the actor. 

9. The Amazing Spider-Man 

He played the role of Dr. Rajit Ratha in the movie. His role was brief but important for the movie. He did this film only because of his children so that they know what their father does. 


I know there are many other movies where Irrfan Khan was at his best but I could write only 9 of them. Some of his other good movies include Billu, Angrezi Medium, Hindi Medium, Madaari, Blackmail, Karwaan and many others. This article is a tribute to the actor and a wonderful human being. Thank You Irrfan for giving us some wonderful movies and you will always rule our hearts.

How online education is proving to be the biggest failure in India

As we all know that the schools have been closed due to COVID 19 pandemic and the students have been taking online classes from the last few months. Online classes are becoming the biggest failures in India. Some of the reasons for the failure of online classes are bad internet connectivity. Despite knowing that all the work around the world is being done online, the cellular networks are not increasing their network speed due to which the class gets hampered.  One of the other reasons can be that students do not have a habit to take classes online and that also on laptops and computers. They do not learn until they get scolded or shouted upon. That system has completely led to the failure of the classes as you do not know whether your concepts are clear to the students or not.  The teachers are also facing a lot of issues in taking online classes as all the matter needs to be written well before hand so that the explanation becomes easier. The setting up of the class like env...
