Following a beautifully shot deep-sea diving sequence, Arjun, the man toughened by the world of stock trading, sits on a speedboat, reflecting on his experiences and the things he has missed in life.

For many Indians unfamiliar with the DC and Marvel Comics lore, Krrish introduced a completely new superhero narrative. It was considered India's first successful superhero venture. The Roshans and their team achieved their third consecutive success with this film, and Hrithik deserves credit for executing the role stylishly. As expected, it evolved into a franchise, and the third film in the series, Krrish 3 emerged as one of the highest-grossing films at the box office.

In this impactful Farhan Akhtar-directed film, Hrithik portrays an irresponsible and aimless man who undergoes a significant transformation in his life after joining the Indian National Army and discovering his true Lakshya (goal) in life. The movie is highly motivational and emotionally stirring, especially in its best moments, and Lakshya has plenty of them. The film boasts excellent performances, with Preity Zinta delivering some of her best work, and Amitabh Bachchan shining as usual. However, it's Hrithik's film, a project that helped him realize his true potential as an actor during a period when many of his films were not performing well.

The huge success of Hrithik Roshan's sci-fi film Koi… Mil Gaya paved the way for a successful franchise like Krrish. In this film, Hrithik portrays an intellectually disabled boy who unintentionally summons aliens to Earth and makes contact with one of them. Undoubtedly, it stands as his best performance to date, proving him to be an absolute scene-stealer. The movie garnered numerous major awards that year, with Hrithik Roshan winning the Best Actor category.
10. Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000)

- Movie Star Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Ameesha Patel, Anupam Kher
- Director: Rakesh Roshan
- Writer: Rakesh Roshan, Sagar Sarhadi, Honey Irani
- Where to Watch / OTT Platform: Zee5
There hasn't been a more impactful (not to be confused with superior) debut in recent years. This is the movie that, it's safe to say, catapulted Hrithik into stardom overnight. Produced, written, and directed by his father Rakesh Roshan, the film titled Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai turned out to be the exact vehicle of success that he intended it to be for his son. However, much of the credit here goes to Hrithik himself. The film includes every Bollywood cliché ever seen on screen and a story that is quite typical, to say the least. But, for his performance in the film, Hrithik won the Filmfare awards for both best debut and best actor.
