and praised his mannerisms. 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." 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 .
Hashmi next starred in Anurag Basu's romance Tumsa Nahin

fabulous with every film."

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 negative 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!". The film emerged as a moderate commercial success, earning over 100
million (US$1.8 million) in India .
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.

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." 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) and the romance Dil Diya Hai. Both these films

described it as "intense and believable". Subhash K Jha wrote, "...
Emraan Hashmi an actor who conceals more

critically and commercially unsuccessful thriller The Train.

In 2009, Hashmi appeared in Mohit Suri's supernatural horror
Raaz – The Mystery Continues, alongside Kangna Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman. The

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."

story set against the backdrop of the 2005 Maharashtra
floods. The film was a critical and commercial failure in India .

Filmfare Awards. Blessy Chettiar of Daily News and Analysis described him as "top
class". Komal Nahta 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." His next release was Mohit

controversy. The film was a critical and commercial failure in India .

gets to do what he does best, glowering at the men, bedding the ladies, and

was eventually declared a blockbuster, earning 690 million (US$13 million) worldwide.
Hashmi's final film in 2011 was Milan Luthria's biopic The
Dirty Picture, featuring Vidya Balan as the controversial Indian actress Silk

the narrator, who proclaims himself to be the protagonist's biggest enemy. The
film opened to critical acclaim and Hashmi's performance was appreciated; 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; Soumyadipta Banerjee
from Daily News and Analysis considered it "out of place". The Dirty
Picture emerged as a commercial success with a worldwide revenue of 1.17

efforts couldn't exorcise the devilishly terrible plot from spelling doom for
this film." Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The
swarthy Hashmi does a forgettable job. His
final film in 2012 was Shamin Desai's thriller Rush. The film was a critical
and commercial failure.
