Career
2003–2007: Debut and breakthrough
Hashmi made his acting debut in 2003, with Vikram Bhatt's thriller Footpath. Co-starring alongside Aftab Shivdasani and Bipasha Basu, he portrayed the role of Raghu Shrivastav, a gangster.
His performance in the film was appreciated by critics; Gaurav Malani
described him as the "scene-stealer" and praised his mannerisms.[5] The following year he featured in Anurag Basu's romantic thriller Murder with Mallika Sherawat and Ashmit Patel. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama
said about his performance, "Emraan Hashmi is fantastic in a role that
seems tailormade for him. Enacting the role of an obsessive lover with
flourish, there's no denying that the narrative gets a major impetus
thanks to Emraan's performance."[6] Murder emerged as a commercial success, with a domestic total of 
250 million (US$4.6 million), becoming the ninth-highest grossing film of the year in India.[7]

Hashmi next starred in Anurag Basu's romance Tumsa Nahin Dekha opposite Dia Mirza. While shooting the film Basu was diagnosed with blood cancer, hence producer-director Mahesh Bhatt completed it.[8] Although the film did not succeed at the box office,[9] his portrayal of Daksh Mittal (a young millionaire who falls in love with a bargirl) was generally well received. A review of his performance in BBC Online noted that he was "becoming fabulous with every film."[10]
In 2005, Hashmi appeared in Mohit Suri's romantic thriller Zeher, co-starring Shamita Shetty and Udita Goswami. His portrayal of Siddharth Mehra (a chief of police who is jealous of his wife's professional success) met with positive reviews from critics. Patchy N of Rediff.com
wrote, "Emraan Hashmi has done a passable job, except for the scenes
where his character gets angry. The young man yells so loudly that he
could well compete with a Sunny Deol!".[11] The film emerged as a great commercial success, earning over 100 million (US$1.8 million) in India.[12] He then starred in Aditya Datt's romance Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Vivek Agnihotri's crime thriller Chocolate, all of which performed poorly at the box office.[13][14]

Hashmi then took a supporting role in Mohit Suri's thriller Kalyug, alongside Kunal Khemu, Smilie Suri, Amrita Singh, Ashutosh Rana and Deepal Shaw. Based on the sex industry, the film depicted the devastating effect that non-consensual pornographic films have on the subjects. Hashmi featured as Ali Bhai, a man who runs a sex shop.
His performance garnered positive reviews from critics, with Taran
Adarsh writing, "Emraan Hashmi makes a brief appearance and the actor
is, like always, highly competent."[15] Kalyug was a greatcommercial success in India.[16]
Hashmi's first film in 2006 was Anant Mahadevan's thriller Aksar with Udita Goswani and Dino Morea. The film was a moderate commercial success at the box office,[17] but met with negative reviews from critics. He next appeared in Anurag Basu's romantic thriller Gangster, co-starring Kangna Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja. The film, which emerged as a commercial success, grossing over 190 million (US$3.5 million) in India,[18] generated positive reviews for his portrayal of an undercover
detective called Aakash. Rediff.com's Raja Sen wrote, "His character is
an understated one, and Hashmi manages to keep it that way. There is no
unnecessary bluster or melodrama, and he does a pretty believable job.
There is something lazy about his acting, by which I mean he makes the
job look easy."[19] Hashmi eventually received his first Filmfare Awards nomination in the Best Performance in a Negative Role category. He then acted in the crime thriller The Killer (adapted from the 2004 film Collateral)[20] and the romance Dil Diya Hai. Both these films were critically and commercially unsuccessful.[21][22]

The film was a critical and commercial failure.[23] He then featured opposite Mrinalini Sharma and Shriya Saran in Mohit Suri's romantic thriller Awarapan.
Hashmi was cast as the protagonist Shivam, a gangster with a tragic
past. The film opened to Positive reviews and his performance was
praised by critics. Writing for The Hindustan Times, critic Khalid Mohamed described it as "intense and believable".[24]
Subhash K Jha wrote, "... Emraan Hashmi [is] an actor who conceals more
than he reveals on screen. There is an inherent pain in his personality
that this film taps better than anything he has done earlier. This film
marks the emergence of a major talent."[25] His final release of the year was the critically and commercially unsuccessful thriller The Train.[26][27] Only Awarapan was a both commercial and critical success becoming the best film of his career.
2008–present: Commercial success
His only film in 2008 was Kunal Deshmukh's Jannat, a love story set against the backdrop of match fixing. Co-starring alongside Sonal Chauhan, Javed Sheikh and Sameer Kochhar, Hashmi was cast as Arjun Dixit, a bookmaker.
His performance was appreciated by critics; Taran Adarash stated, "The
actor displays the gamut of emotions with aplomb, he changes expressions
like a chameleon changes colors. Jannat is yet another turning point in his career."[28] The film emerged as a commercial success in India, with revenues of over 420 million (US$7.7 million).[29]

The film was a commercial success, earning over 340 million (US$6.2 million) in India.[30][31] Hashmi's portrayal of a painter was critically well received; The Times of India's Nikhat Kazmi wrote, "Emraan Hashmi is fast emerging as the Colin Farrell
of Indian cinema: completely mercurial, eclectic and unpredictable. As
the brooding, prescient painter, who paints death on his canvas and
falls in love with one of subjects, he is suitably aggrieved, desperate
and afraid."[32] He then co-starred opposite Soha Ali Khan in Kunal Deshmukh's Tum Mile, a love story set against the backdrop of the 2005 Maharashtra floods. The film was a critical and commercial failure in India.[30]

remarked, "This is easily Emraan's best performance so far. If he is
cute in the romantic scenes, he is believably tough in the action and
dramatic scenes."[37] His next release was Mohit Suri's thriller Crook, based on the violence against Indians in Australia controversy.[38] The film was a critical and commercial failure in India.[39][40]

Upon release, the film and his performance garnered mixed reviews from critics[45] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express
wrote, "Hashmi gets to do what he does best, glowering at the men,
bedding the ladies, and towards the end, going head to head with the bad
guy [...] he goes through the film with his usual smart one-liners
containing equal amounts of bluster and fluster."[46] Murder 2 was eventually declared a blockbuster,[47] earning 690 million (US$13 million) worldwide.[48]

Hashmi's final film in 2011 was Milan Luthria's biopic The Dirty Picture, featuring Vidya Balan as the controversial Indian actress Silk Smitha, alongside Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor.
He was cast as Abraham, the narrator, who proclaims himself to be the
protagonist's biggest enemy. The film opened to critical acclaim and
Hashmi's performance was appreciated;[49] CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand
wrote, "Emraan Hashmi is appropriately restrained as Abraham, a
director who believes in film as art, and who abhors the idea of
inserting steamy numbers in his movie to lure in the crowds."[50] However, several critics were sceptical about his role in the film;[50] Soumyadipta Banerjee from Daily News and Analysis considered it "out of place".[51] The Dirty Picture emerged as a commercial success with a worldwide revenue of 1.17 billion (US$21 million).[48]

Raja Sen described it as one of his best performances and wrote,
"Emraan Hashmi, delivers a knockout punch as he masters a complicated
role."[59] He received a second Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 58th Filmfare Awards for his performance in the film.[60]
Hashmi's next appearance was in Vikram Bhatt's supernatural horror Raaz 3D, alongside Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta. A commercial success,[61][62]
