MUMBAI: Salman Khan has a history of giving his fans the best surprises on the occasion of Eid every year and last year, he did the same with Bharat. Starring Salman and Katrina Kaif in the lead, the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial hit the screens exactly today in 2019 and turned out to be an emotional yet perfect Eidi for all Bhai fans. Today, the film completes 1 year and on its first anniversary, we take you through the reasons why it is a must-watch.
1. Salman not only captures the emotional turmoil of a man separated from his father and sister due to partition perfectly but also showcases how his life becomes committed to that one promise that he made to his dad of taking care of his family always. Bharat spans right from the character's age 18 to 70. Hence, we get to Salman in 5 different looks through different eras. From a daredevil circus performer to a miner in Saudi Arabia to a sailor to a man in search of his father to an old guy, Salman manages to nail his act in all the eras perfectly.

2. For the first time in a long time, Katrina is seen in a different avatar altogether in Bharat. As Kumud Raina, the actress transforms into a feisty woman who ends up becoming a life-long friend to Bharat. She is Bharat’s love interest but they never get married to each other except towards the end. Kumud is Bharat’s rock all through the journey when he is in search of his dad who he left in Pakistan with his sister at the time of partition. Her looks also change with the course of time and, she ages gracefully on screen. From the young chief engineer to the middle-aged woman in love Bharat to the head of a TV channel, Katrina nails her act as Kumud and manages to receive massive praise for it too. Besides, seeing her look gorgeous as ever on-screen is bound to leave you hooked.
3. It has been proven every time Katrina and Salman appear on the screen, that they make for a fine pair. The duo always manages to leave the audience in awe of their chemistry and with Bharat, we get to see the more mature side to it. From the initial love-hate to the sweet friendship as a boss and employee to a couple in love to the old duo who sticks by each other, Salman and Katrina as Bharat and Kumud take us through various stages of their relationship in the most endearing way. And, in each of the phases, their chemistry has a different side to it. Their mature love story surely was a delight to be seen on screen and very different from their previous work together.
