With his bulging eyes and deep intellect, Irrfan Khan, who died this week at the age of 53, was versatile, sought-after and equally adept in the role of hero, villain or, the truth of somewhere in between. He was the rare Indian actor who found success in both Bollywood and Hollywood. I interviewed him in 2010 and he explained why he liked working in the US, despite earning significantly less here. America, he told me,"allows me to push my boundaries as an actor.
This is about as perfect a movie as it gets. Khan plays Saajan Fernandes, an everyman accountant who has just been widowed. He accidentally starts to receive lunches with notes in them and a virtual affair begins and blossoms. Available on: Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, YouTube, iTunes, Google Play The Namesake
Khan's life and career spanned a rapidly changing and modernizing India. This film captures the angst among India's young and restless professional class, looking for love and meaning. Khan plays Monty, a sweet but socially awkward guy . Like Piku, this movie showcases Khan's comedic timing. Available on: NetflixHindi Medium
