We have always talked about Salman Khan's popular roles or his biggest hits. Now let's talk about something we don't usually say when it comes to a Salman Khan movie  - critical acclaim. I know that for a Bhai fan, it hardly matters that his film is nowhere near being the darling of the critics, if it has enough masala for them to be entertained. Which is hardly surprising, when only two of Salman movies have got a score of 8 on IMDB. That infamous line in Race 3 best describes a Salman fan's attitude towards a critic's opinion of their idol's film - 'Our business is our business, none of your business.' Salman Khan Birthday Special: Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Tiger Zinda Hai -10 Biggest Hits Of The Bhai Of Bollywood In The Last Decade.

Race 3, however, remains somewhere near the bottom of the barrell among Salman Khan movies, even if it earned more than Rs 100 crore at the box office. In this special feature to celebrate Salman Khan's 55th birthday, let's look at 10 highest rated films of Salman Khan and where you can watch them legally online. In descending order...

Khamoshi: The Musical

Salman Khan and Manisha Koirala in Khamoshi: The Musical
