Career

Hashmi made his acting debut in 2003 with Vikram Bhatt's thriller Footpath. Raghu Shrivastav, a gangster, appeared co-starring Aftab Shivdasani and Bipasha Basu. Critics loved his role in the film; Gaurav Malani referred to him as the "scene-stealer" and praised his demeanor. Mallika Sherawat and Ashmit Patel appeared in Anurag Basu's violent thriller Murder the following year. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama said of his appearance: "Emraan Hashmi is simply amazing in a role that seems tailor made for him." Emraan's performance is enacting the role of an obsessive lover with a flourish. Murder's domestic success surpassed all expectations, grossing the country's ninth highest-grossing film of the year.

Hashmi reprised his role in Anurag Basu's romance, Tumsa Nahin Dekha, opposite Dia Mirza. Basu had been diagnosed with blood cancer while shooting the film, so producer-director Mahesh Bhatt took over. Despite the fact that the film did not succeed at the box office, Daksh Mittal's portrayal of him (a young millionaire who falls in love with a bargirl) was generally well received. According to a BBC Online review, he was "becoming amazing with every film." Hahmi appeared in Mohit Suri's epic Kalyug, alongside Kunal Khemu, Smilie Suri, Amrita Singh, Ashutosh Rana, and Deepal Shaw. The film, which was based on the sex industry, depicted the devastating effect that non-consensual pornographic films had on the subjects. Ali Bhai, a man who runs a sex shop, appeared on Hashmi. Critics generally applauded his work, with Taran Adarsh writing: "Emraan Hashmi appears for a brief period of time, and the actor is, as always, exceptionally proficient." Kalyug was a modest success in India.

The thriller Aksar starring Udita Goswani and Dino Morea was Hashmi's first film in 2006. The film was a commercial success, but critics gave it scathing feedback. Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja co-starring Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja in Anurag Basu's romantic thriller Gangster. The film was a box-office hit in India, grossing more than 190 million (US$2.4 million) per month. Hashmi's portrayal of an undercover detective named Aakash has received raves; Rediff.com's Raja Sen wrote, "His name is an understated one, and Hashmi manages to keep it that way." There is no unnecessary bluster or melodrama, and he does a good job. His demeanor is lazy, to the point that it makes the job seem straightforward." Hashmi's first Filmfare Award for his role in a Negative Role was given for the film. He appeared in The Killer (an adaptation of the 2004 film Collateral) and the romance Dil Diya Hai. Both these films failed both artistically and commercially.

Hashmi appeared in three films in 2007. He appeared in the comedy Good Boy Bad Boy, alongside Tusshar Kapoor, Isha Sharvani, and Tanushree Dutta. At the box office, the film failed and received unfavourable feedback. In Mohit Suri's romantic drama Awarapan, he appeared opposite Mrinalini Sharma and Shriya Saran. Hashmi was portrayed as the protagonist Shivam, a gangster with a tragic history. Khalid Mohamed, a writer for the Hindustan Times, described it as "intense and believable." "Emraan Hashmi [is] an actor who conceals more than he reveals on camera," Subhash K Jha wrote. This film taps better than anything he has done before because there is an inherent flaw in his personality. The emergence of a major talent is shown in this film. The thriller The Train, which also disappointed, was his last release of the year. Only Awarapan became the best film of his career due to his commercial and critical success.

Kunal Deshmukh's Jannat, a love story set against the backdrop of match fixing, was his only film in 2008. Hashmi was co-starring Sonal Chauhan, Javed Sheikh, and Sameer Kochhar. Critics applauded his performance; Taran Adarsh said that "[t]he actor plays the gamut of emotions with aplomb; he reveals facial expressions as if a chameleon changes colors." Jannat is at this point in his career that he is still on his way to glory. With sales of over 420 million (US$5.3 million), the film became a commercial success in India.

Hashmi appeared in Mohit Suri's paranormal horror Raaz – The Mystery Continues in 2009, as well as Kangana Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman. The film's domestic sales exceeded 340 million (US$4.3 million), and it came as a hit. Hashmi's portrayal of a painter attracted raves; The Times of India's Nikhat Kazmi wrote: "Emraan Hashmi is quickly emerging as India's Colin Farrell: completely mercurial, eclectic, and unpredictable." "He is terribly distraught, sick, and afraid" as the brooding, prescient painter who paints death on his canvas and falls in love with one of the subjects. He then appeared in Kunal Deshmukh's Tum Mile, a love tale set against the backdrop of the 2005 Maharashtra floods. At the box office, the film did not do well.

Hashmi appeared in Milan's period action-drama Once Upon a Time, a cast starring Ajay Devgan, Randeep Hooda, Kangana Ranaut, and Prachi Desai. Hashmi played Shoaib Khan, a character based on real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim's photograph, which depicted the rise of organised crime in Mumbai. Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai became a hit in domestic sales and received a warm reception. Hashmi's appearance at the 56th Filmfare Awards received rave feedback from critics and was named Best Supporting Actor. Daily News and Analysis's Blessy Chettiar characterized him as "top class." "This is unquestionably Emraan's best show so far," Komal Nahta said. If he is cute in the romantic scenes, he is unquestionably tough in the action and dramatic scenes. Mohit Suri's action-thriller Crook was his next film release, based on the unrest against Indians in Australia. However, the film did not do well and was panned by commentators.

Hashmi first appeared in Madhur Bhandarkar's romantic comedy Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji in 2011, alongside Ajay Devgan, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Tisca Chopra, and Shruti Hassan. Critics gave the film mixed praise, as did Hashmi's performance. He appeared in Mohit Suri's slasher thriller Murder 2 with Jacqueline Fernandez, Prashant Narayanan, and Sulagna Panigrahi. Critics generally gave mixed feedback about the film as well as his success. "Hashmi gets to do what he does best, glowering at the boys, bedding the ladies, and, eventually, going head to head with the bad guy," Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote. Despite this, Murder 2 was a huge success, with domestic sales of over 476 million (US$6.0 million) the film debuted as a blockbuster.

Hashmi's last film in 2011 was Milan Luthria's documentary The Dirty Picture, starring Vidya Balan, the controversial Indian actress Silk Smitha, as well as Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor. Abraham, the narrator who has declared himself to be the protagonist's greatest adversary, was portrayed as Abraham. Hashmi's performance was lauded, and the film opened to critical praise; CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand said, "Emraan Hashmi is appropriately restrained as Abraham, a filmmaker who believes in film as art and who abhors the idea of inserting steamy numbers in his film to attract the crowds." Nonetheless, many commentators were skeptical about his film participation; Soumyadipta Banerjee of Daily News and Analysis said it was "out of place." With an international audience of over 1.14 billion (US$14 million), the Dirty Picture came as a commercial success.

Hashmi appeared in Kunal Deshmukh's crime thriller Jannat 2 with Randeep Hooda and Esha Gupta in 2012. It was originally named "Informer" but it was later changed to the new one, making it a follow-up film to Jannat (2008). Despite being a success at the box office, critics gave mixed praise for the film. In Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai, a film of the same name by writer Vassilis Vassilikos, he costarred with Abhay Deol, Prosenjit Chatterjee, and Kalki Koechlin. The political thriller, set in a fictional town named Bharat Nagar, traced graft in India. The film attracted critical acclaim, and Hashmi was lauded unanimously for his portrayal of Joginder Parmar, a videographer who occasionally shoots porn films. Hashmi, according to Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times of India, "looks the part and pulls off an act he should be proud of." Raja Sen described it as one of his finest performances, wrote: "Emraan Hashmi delivers a knockout punch as he masters a difficult role" and dubbed it "the year's finest, brave, and most consistent role" in the role. At the 58th Filmfare Awards, he received his second Best Supporting Actor award for his appearance.

Hashmi's next appearance was for Vikram Bhatt's supernatural thriller Raaz 3D, alongside Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta. Despite being a commercial success, Kunal Guha's film and his role were mostly critical; critic Kunal Guha wrote: "[Hashmi] takes his role as seriously as he could, but his attempts to exorcise the devilishly bad plot from this film." "The swarthy Hashmi [...] does a forgettable job," The Hollywood Reporter's Lisa Tsering said. Shamin Desai's delayed thriller Rush, the year's best film of the year, had a rocky ending at the box office.

Hashmi was first seen in Ekta Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj's supernatural drama Ek Thi Daayan in 2013 alongside Konkona Sen Sharma, Huma Quoshi, and Kalki Koechlin. The film's critical feedback was mostly positive, and Hashmi's appearance drew praise. Hashmi "gives the appearance of the haunted magician just that – a haunted sensation that is just apt," according to Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV, while Shubhra Gupta said that he "is a performer who keeps getting better."

Hashmi's second appearance was for Raj Kumar Gupta's comedic actor Ghanchakkar, opposite Vidya Balan. Critics and Hashmi's performance were divided on their verdict of the film, as well as Hashmi's participation. "Emraan Hashmi spins one of his acting careers' most understated, yet imposing performances," Emirates 24/7's Sneha May Francis wrote. He crafts [his character's] predicaments – his rage, indignation, and skepticism – with a natural ease." Rajeev Masand was more critical of his role, saying that he "struggles to shine under the constraints of his position." Both Ek Thi Daayan and Ghanchakkar underperformed at the box office. Hashmi appeared in Kunal Deshmukh's Raja Natwarlal and Rensil D'Silva's Ungli in 2014, the latter being Hashmi's fifth consecutive disappointment at the box office. He was the leading actor in Academy Award-winning filmmaker Danis Tanovi's Tigers, which premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and was later released digitally on Nov. 2018 on demand platform ZEE5 in November 2018.

Hashmi appeared in two films in 2015. Mr. X caused a lot of chaos at the box office, as well as negative feedback, one of which was long-awaited Hamari Adhuri Kahani, who played opposite Vidya Balan for the third time. Despite receiving mixed feedback from critics, the product was still average, but it had positive reactions from the audience.

Azhar's next film was released on May 13, 2016, with mixed feedback. He appeared in Vikram Bhatt's Raaz: Reboot, the fourth film in the Raaz film series, and was released on September 16, 2016. At the box office, Raaz Reboot was averaging grosser. On September 1, 2017, his next film Baadshaho, directed by Milan Luthria, in which he co-starred Ajay Devgan, Ileana D'Cruz, Esha Gupta, and Vidyut Jammwal, was released. In late 2017, he started shooting for Captain Nawab, but it was announced in early 2018 that it was suspended.

He appeared in Soumik Sen's crime drama Why Cheat India, another box-office flop in January 2019.
