Early critical praise came from independent films: Manorama Six Feet Under (2007) and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! (2008) established his reputation for complex character work. His 2009 breakthrough with Anurag Kashyap's black-comedy Dev.D—a modern-day Devdas adaptation—marked the moment indie credibility crossed into wider recognition. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), Zoya Akhtar's ensemble film, became his biggest commercial vehicle and earned him a Filmfare nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He has since balanced art-house projects like Road, Movie (2010) and Chakravyuh (2012) alongside commercially successful romances: Raanjhanaa (2013) and Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016).
