So, on the occasion of the actor’s birthday, we bring to you a complete breakdown of Sushant Singh Rajput movies so far.1. Kai Po Che!2013
Abhishek Kapoor Kai Po Che was a film based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel 3 Mistakes Of My Life. The film was a story of three friends and is set during the infamous Gujarat riots of 2002.

Sushant, Rajkummar and Amit all do an incredible job in their respective roles and that’s why the Sushant Singh Rajput movie scores big.
2. Shuddh Desi Romance
In today’s age, commitment phobia has become a rather common feeling.

Shuddh Desi Romance was a love triangle that featured Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra, and Vaani Kapoor. Love, attraction, relationship, commitment… Shuddh Desi Romance was a perfect film describing the thinking of millennials in the relationship today.

Later on, he realises that certain people are misusing the faith of society in God for their own benefit. With the help of a journalist named Jaggu (Anushka Sharma), PK manages to expose them. His actions also help Jaggu reunite with her long lost love Sarfaraz Yousuf (Sushant Singh Rajput) and clear out the misunderstanding that led to their separation in the first place.

The film was hampered by a bad screenplay and weak storyline which even the actors could not save with their performances.
