Five Times R.Madhavan Stole our Hearts With His Films

As Manu, he said it best that love is all about acceptance. Irrespective of how your partners are, relationships work only when you extract the best out of what you've got.

Aamir Khan's Rancho may have been the most loved character in the film, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Farhan was very much like most of us. We all have that one friend who will stick his/her neck out for you in times of trouble. Also, he showed us how happiness is in doing what you love.

He and Vidya Balan had little to do in a movie that was largely dominated by the screen presence of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. But we could not stop rooting for Maddy when he chooses to marry Vidya's character in the film, despite her physical disabilities. But then that's what real men do.

Let's admit it. Every woman must have once dreamt of Maddy as her dream partner. Wasn't he just perfect? A good friend, a committed boyfriend, an obedient son and lastly, a true patriot, Maddy's Ajay left most of us grief-stricken, when he dies while serving his country.

His Hindi debut made many women take notice of his charming good looks and brattish innocence. His relentless pursuing of Dias character in the film redefined romance for many, back in the day. More importantly, he owned his presence in every unforgettable song from the film, whether it was 'Kaise Main Kahoon Tujhse' or 'Sach Keh Raha Hai'.

One of the most charming superstars to have successfully blurred the lines between regional and mainstream cinema, R.Madhavan has ruled the hearts of women and the youth for more than two decades. An entire generation of hopeless film fanatics have lived, laughed and cried whenever Maddy romanced his leading ladies or infused life into the simplest of characters. We bring you five such films where the actor showed us, how to love and live.
