A Star Is Born

Ajay Devgn never disappoints his fans - from comedy films to thrillers.

The actor has a number of accolades to his name. He won his first National Film Award in the Best Actor category for 'Zakhm' in 1998. His second National Film Best Actor award came for 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh' in 2002. He has also been awarded the fourth-highest civilian honour - Padma Shri.

On his 53rd birthday, here's a look at every time Devgn impressed us with his performances.

'Company'

Ram Gopal Varma's 2002 film, 'Company', about the Mumbai underworld was a commercial success.

Devgn's complex character portrayal of gang leader Malik was lauded by movie critics. The actor even bagged the Critics Award for Best Actor at the 48th Filmfare Awards in 2003. The movie made a little over Rs 25 crore at the box office.

'Drishyam'

'Drishyam', directed by Nishikant Kamat, was the official Hindi remake of the 2013 Malayalam film of the same name, starring Mohanlal.

But Devgn's portrayal of Vijay Salgaonkar in the Hindi remake of a commoner was class apart. It is about a story of a family who goes to lengths to protect their family. Released in July 2015, the thriller minted over Rs 110 crore in the box-office.

'Omkara'

Based on 'Othello', 'Omkara' was director Vishal Bhardwaj's second film in the trilogy of William Shakespeare adaptations after Maqbool (2003), and ended with 'Haider' (2014).

Devgn played the role of 'Omi', a criminal who is entering politics, who is met with a tragic end due to jealousy and misunderstanding. His performance in the 2006 movie was widely appreciated, and the film earned Rs 42.41 crore at the box office.

'Yuva'

Mani Ratnam's political thriller film was all the rage in 2004.

Devgn plays the role of Michael Mukherjee, an influential student leader, who has been trying to keep corrupt politicians away from college elections. The critically-acclaimed film raked Rs 24.48 crore at the box office.
