Akkha Bollywood ek taraf aur Emraan Hashmi ek taraf — this viral line from Bads of Bollywood has shaken the internet, and honestly, it’s about time! Emraan Hashmi, the man who once ruled every radio station and every cinema screen, is suddenly back in the spotlight. Let’s rewind to the time when Emraan didn’t just act — he defined an entire cinematic vibe. If you somehow missed these gems, consider this your sign to binge your way through the Emraan Hashmi movies that shaped a generation.
1. Murder (2004)
Before Murder, Bollywood thrillers had never looked (or sounded) this bold. With his signature intensity and that smirk, Emraan delivered a performance that was all kinds of chaotic, passionate, and unforgettable. This is the film that made him the face of forbidden love — and set the tone for the decade to come.
2. Gangster (2006)
Before toxic love stories became a trend, Gangster walked so the rest could run. Emraan’s role as a flawed lover, caught between passion and guilt, hit differently. With stellar performances and a gripping plot, this movie proved that Hashmi could do emotional devastation like no one else.
3. Jannat (2008)
Cricket, crime, and heartbreak — Jannat had it all. As the ambitious bookie chasing dreams and disaster in equal measure, Emraan made you root for him even when you knew he was doomed. It’s got the perfect blend of drama, tension, and just the right amount of 2000s-style swag.
4. Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009)
Only Emraan Hashmi could make a supernatural thriller feel like a love story. Raaz 2 was eerie, emotional, and packed with his signature intensity. Even the ghosts didn’t stand a chance against his charm.
5. Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010)
This is Emraan in full form — confident, sharp, and magnetic. Playing the ambitious Shoaib opposite Ajay Devgn’s Sultan, he owned every frame. Stylish, dramatic, and dripping with power plays, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai reminded everyone that the man could command the screen just as effortlessly as he did the playlist.
6. The Dirty Picture (2011)
Even in a Vidya Balan-led powerhouse, Emraan’s quiet, brooding journalist made a mark. It was a role that showed his range — subtle, layered, and deeply human. Proof that he didn’t need loud dialogues to leave an impact.
7. Shanghai (2012)
This one’s for the cinephiles. A political thriller that was way ahead of its time, Shanghai gave us a different Emraan — gritty, grounded, and brilliant. If you thought he was all romance and intensity, this film will change your mind.
Emraan Hashmi’s cameo in Bads of Bollywood reminded us of what we’d been missing that rare mix of charm, depth, and chaos that only he could bring to the screen. So if your watchlist has been looking a little too polished lately, here’s your sign to hit rewind and dive back into the Emraan Hashmi movies that defined the golden era of 2000s Bollywood.
