Ajay Devgn filmography

Devgn at an event for his film Drishyam in 2015

Ajay Devgn is an Indian actor, director and producer who works in Hindi films. He debuted as an actor in Phool Aur Kaante (1991), which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. ^[1] Devgn then played a kickboxer in the martial arts film Jigar (1992) and a blind in Vijaypath (1994) and starred in Suhaag (1994), Dilwale (1994), Diljale (1996), Jaan (1996), Ishq (1997), Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha (1998), and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). ^{[2] [3]} He garnered Filmfare Best Actor nominations for Naajayaz and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and also won his first National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Zakhm (1998). ^{[4] [5] [6]} In 2000, Devgn started Ajay Devgn FFilms, producing and headlining the commercially unsuccessful Raju Chacha . ^[7] He received a Filmfare Best Supporting Actor nomination for enacting a dacoit in the ensemble film Lajja (2001). ^[8]

2002 proved to be a banner year for Devgn as he received universal acclaim for his performances in Company , The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Deewangee . ^{[9] [10]} He won his second National Award for portraying revolutionary Bhagat Singh in The Legend of Bhagat Singh ^[11] and the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for it and Company, along with a Filmfare Best Villain Award for Deewangee. ^{[12] [13]} In 2003, he acted in the Bhoot , a sleeper hit, and played a police officer in Gangaajal , which earned him another Filmfare Best Actor nomination. ^{[14] [4]} He was next featured in Yuva (2004), Kaal (2005), and Omkara (2006). ^{[15] [16]} Rohit Shetty's Golmaal series established Devgn in comic roles, producing Golmaal (2006), Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3 (2010). However Devgn was highly panned for Aag (2007), based on the 1975 cult classic Sholay . ^{[17] [18]} Today, it is considered one of the worst films. ^{[19] [20] [21] [22]} In 2008, he made his directorial debut with his own production U Me Aur Hum . ^[23] 2010 proved to be a milestone year for him as he delivered his first 100 Crore Club film with Golmaal 3 and received positive feedback for the top-grossing films Raajneeti and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai . ^[24] The latter fetched him a Filmfare Best Actor nomination, as like his next Singham (2011), the first part of Shetty's Cop Universe, which was later reprised in Singham Returns (2014) and briefly in other standalone films of the universe, culminating in Singham Again (2024). ^{[25] [26] [4] [27]}

Devgn has since remained in the league with the successful comedies Bol Bachchan (2012), Son of Sardaar (2012), Golmaal Again (2017), Total Dhamaal (2019) and De De Pyaar De (2019), the dramas Drishyam (2015), Raid (2018) and Drishyam 2 (2022), and the period epic Tanhaji (2020), which earned him his third National Film Award for Best Actor. ^{[28] [29]} However, he failed as a director after delivering a hat-trick of flops with Shivaay (2016), Runway 34 (2022) and Bholaa (2023). ^{[30] [31] [32]} He also played brief roles in the period dramas RRR and Gangubai Kathiawadi (both 2022), and starred in Shaitaan (2024), A horror film that was a box office success.
