Saif Ali Khan's favourite movies that should be on your watchlist! #imdb #shorts

He brought a list. Asked for his perfect watchlist picks, Saif Ali Khan looks down at a sheet of paper before moving from Indian crime drama to American television and, eventually, one of his own romances.

The IMDb Short has picked up roughly 59,000 views over the past day, almost nineteen times its usual daily pace. Posted a week ago, it is getting its biggest burst of attention well beyond its first-day debut.

Khan starts with Paatal Lok, singling out Jaideep Ahlawat and calling it the coolest Indian show he has seen in recent times. The White Lotus follows, before he turns to two formidable movie choices: The Godfather and Heat.

Then comes the more personal recommendation. "And I'm going to recommend Love Aaj Kal, because I just am getting the feeling that it's a bit too underrated these days..." he says.

That is the 2009 film directed by Imtiaz Ali, with Khan and Deepika Padukone, which sets different generations' experiences of love alongside each other. Among the gangsters and troubled vacationers on his list, it brings the conversation back to his own work.

Heat is a recurring subject in the comments, while other viewers offer lists of their own, ranging from Harakiri and Stalker to Forrest Gump and Parasite. One viewer makes a case for Love Aaj Kal as a favorite romantic comedy, taking up Khan's invitation to reconsider it.
