Emraan Hashmi? Serial Kisser’s Erotic Thrillers And Great Music Ignited BO
While Emraan Hashmi was once the undisputed box office king, producing hit after hit after hit, he hasn’t had a genuine commercial success in many years.
Not all of his films were box office successes, but they all had fantastic soundtracks.
Emraan Hashmi began his career as a supporting actor in the 2003 film Footpath, alongside Aftab Shivdasani and Bipasha Basu, and went on to become a major box office draw with cult erotic thrillers. The film, directed by Vikram Bhatt, was a box office flop.
However, the following year, Emraan co-starred with Mallika Sherawat in the erotic thriller Murder, which broke box office records.
The inclusion of erotica and some fantastic music in the film helped propel it to the top of the year’s box office. A brilliant star was created.
Emraan has starred in and received critical acclaim for a number of subsequent erotic thrillers, including Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Aksar, Zeher, Gangster, The Train, and Murder 2.
Many songs from these films, such as “Bheege Hoth Tere” and “Dil Se,” became radio staples. “Kaho Na Kaho,” “Aashiq Banaya Aapne,” “Ap Ki Kashish,” “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa,” “Woh Lamhein,” “Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai,” “Beetein Lamhein,” and “Dil Sambhal Ja Zara” are some popular Bollywood songs.
Because of these films, his fanbase and the media have dubbed him “Serial Kisser.”
Before the internet’s meteoric rise to prominence, the erotic thriller subgenre had a dedicated following in India.
Emraan starred in an action drama in 2007 that received critical acclaim for its depth but was notable for its lack of romantic kisses between the leads. Actually, this was his first time doing so since the release of the film Murder.
Despite having commercially and critically successful songs like “Toh Phir Aao” and “Tera Mera Rishta Purana,” Mohit Suri’s Awarapan failed at the box office.
Emraan, on the other hand, found the family audiences he’d been looking for with Kunal Deshmukh’s Jannat in 2008. Emraan had finally found his target family demographic.
From then on, the actor made an effort to avoid erotic thrillers, eventually landing roles in critically acclaimed films with strong narratives like Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and The Dirty Picture.
In the meantime, he directed Jannat 2 and Crook, as well as Raaz: The Mystery Continues, but his focus was clearly shifting.
Following that, he became a critical darling with films such as Shanghai, Ghanchakkar, and Ek Thi Daayan, but he never found box office success.
Raaz 3, his final solo hit, was the highest grossing horror film in Hindi film history.
The “Serial Kisser” era of Emraan Hashmi, which began with Murder (2004) and ended with Raaz 3 (2012), has come to an end.
The songs, on the other hand, live on.
