Happy Birthday Nawazuddin Siddiqui: 5 times when he bowled the audience with his power-packed performance

Gangs Of Wasseypur

This is a crime-based film co-written, produced and directed by Anurag Kashyap. Part 1 shows Nawaz as a boy in the shadow of his father, he comes of age as a gangster in the next part. Nawaz’s performance as a man seeking revenge was an excellent piece of performance.

Badlapur

In this film he plays a villain, but at the end he becomes a bigger hero than the hero himself (Varun Dhawan) Nawaz is outstanding in the film.

The Lunchbox

Nawaz and late Irrfan Khan worked together in the 2013 film The Lunchbox, among several other projects. Siddiqui’s performance is energetic and effortless in the film. He makes the character endearing and so believable.

Kahaani

This Sujoy Ghosh thriller was probably Nawaz’s big ticket to stardom. In the character of deputy inspector general Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was a natural. His portrayal of a police officer is definitely different and the performance was received very well by the audience and the critics.

Thackeray

Nawaz names ‘Thackeray’ as his favourite role in recent years. Released in 2019, the film was criticised for glorifying Bal Thackeray’s exclusionist politics. But no one can miss Nawaz’s excellent body language and dialogue delivery in the film.
