Commercial success (2008–2012)

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 commented that "[t]he 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."[33] The film emerged as a commercial success in India, with revenues of over INR420 million (US$7.1 million).[34]

In 2009, Hashmi appeared in Mohit Suri's supernatural horror Raaz – The Mystery Continues, alongside Kangna Ranaut and Adhyayan Suman. The film's domestic collection exceeded INR340 million (US$5.7 million), and emerged as a success.[35][36] Hashmi's portrayal of a painter attracted favourable reviews; 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."[37] He then 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 performed poorly at the box office.[35]
The following year, Hashmi featured in Milan Luthria's period action-drama Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai with an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgan, Randeep Hooda, Kangna Ranaut and Prachi Desai. The picture, which depicted the rise of organised crime in Mumbai, saw Hashmi play Shoaib Khan, a character inspired by real-life gangster Dawood Ibrahim.[38] With a domestic revenue of over INR780 million (US$13 million), Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai emerged as a hit, and received a positive critical reception.[39] For his performance, Hashmi earned positive reviews from critics and received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 56th Filmfare Awards.[40] Blessy Chettiar of Daily News and Analysis described him as "top class".[41] 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."[42] His next release was Mohit Suri's thriller Crook, based on the violence against Indians in Australia controversy.[43] However the film performed poorly and was panned by critics.[44][45]
In 2011, Hashmi first appeared in Madhur Bhandarkar's romantic comedy Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, alongside Ajay Devgan, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Tisca Chopra and Shruti Hassan. The film underperformed and received mixed reviews from critics, as did Hashmi's performance.[46][47][48][49] He next featured in Mohit Suri's slasher thriller Murder 2, alongside Jacqueline Fernandez, Prashant Narayanan and Sulagna Panigrahi. The film, as well as his performance generated mixed reviews from critics.[50] 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."[51] Despite this, Murder 2 was a major success; with a domestic revenue of over INR476 million (US$8.0 million), the film emerged as a blockbuster.[52]

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;[53] 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."[54] However, several critics were sceptical about his role in the film;[54] Soumyadipta Banerjee from Daily News and Analysis considered it "out of place".[55] The Dirty Picture emerged as a commercial success with a worldwide revenue of over INR1.14 billion (US$19 million).[56]
In 2012, Hashmi appeared in Kunal Deshmukh's crime thriller Jannat 2 with Randeep Hooda and Esha Gupta. It was initially titled "Informer" but was later changed to the current title, making it a follow-up film to Jannat (2008).[57] The film generated mixed reviews from critics,[58] though was a success at the box office.[59] He then starred alongside Abhay Deol, Prosenjit Chatterjee and Kalki Koechlin in Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai, an adaptation of writer Vassilis Vassilikos's novel Z and the 1969 French film of the same name.[60] Set in a fictional town called Bharat Nagar, the political thriller traced corruption in India. The film opened to critical acclaim, and Hashmi received unanimous praise for his portrayal of Joginder Parmar, a videographer who sometimes shoots porn films.[61][62] Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times of India wrote that Hashmi "looks the part and pulls off an act he should be proud of."[63] Raja Sen described it as one of his best performances and wrote, "Emraan Hashmi, delivers a knockout punch as he masters a complicated role."[64] He received his second Best Supporting Actor nomination at the 58th Filmfare Awards for his performance.[65]
Hashmi's next appearance was for Vikram Bhatt's supernatural horror Raaz 3D, alongside Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta. Though a commercial success,[66][67] the film and his performance received mostly negative reviews; critic Kunal Guha commented, "[Hashmi] takes his role as seriously as he could but his efforts couldn't exorcise the devilishly terrible plot from spelling doom for this film."[68] Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The swarthy Hashmi [...] does a forgettable job.[69] His final film of the year was Shamin Desai's delayed thriller Rush, which failed at the box office.[70]
