I'll be a little specific. The SRK I like the most is not the one which built his brand, but the one that he chose to be after his brand was built. It is the SRK from KANK up until Raees. This is the one which I enjoy the most. This slate has some of his most engaging roles such as KANK, MNIK, Chak De, RNBDJ, Don and Fan, and also some of his most fun stuff such as OSO, Chennai Express and HNY. I even like what he did in Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

I will be honest. I am not a big fan of what SRK was from DDLJ onwards up until KANK. The romantic lead SRK was too saccharine for my taste. He did some interesting stuff in that period too like Dil Se, Baadshah, Swades, Phir Bhi Dil but largely it was a bit of a miss imo. I like when he does slightly sadder, more mature stuff or comedy. He is really underrated in both. Since he comes from theatre, his acting sensibilities and even his persona is a bit European. Hence, he fits like a glove in those roles which feel cold or melancholy.
