No, we are definitely not talking about his haunting role in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again (2024). Before the actor was seen chasing box office numbers, he starred in some prominent roles that are praiseworthy.
Arjun Kapoor’s 5 best films to watch
On Arjun Kapoor’s 40th birthday, let’s dig into his five best films so far. Scroll down to read bout them!
1. Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021)
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar stars Arjun Kapoor alongside Parineeti Chopra and is surprisingly an offbeat gem. Touted as a black comedy thriller, the film is directed by Dibakar Banerjee and sees Arjun in one of his most nuanced performances. He plays a suspended Haryanvi cop caught in a web of corruption; he broke away from his usual screen image, and it paid off. If you believe there’s no act in this actor, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is the answer for you.

Alia Bhatt plays the role of his Tamilian girlfriend Ananya. In this film, Arjun perfectly portrays a conflicted yet earnest lover. It certainly struck a chord with audiences and remains one of his most loved roles.

3. Aurangzeb (2013)
Aurangzeb is an underrated crime thriller that had Arjun Kapoor in a double role. He plays twin brothers who are on opposite sides of the law. Back in the day, it was a bold pick early in his career and showcased his potential for complex, layered storytelling. A must-watch for fans of slow-burn thrillers.

4. Finding Fanny (2014)
Finding Fanny is a quirky English-language film set in Goa. In this movie, Arjun Kapoor played the role of a brooding mechanic alongside a stellar ensemble cast including Dimple Kapadia, Deepika Padukone and Naseeruddin Shah. His subdued charm fit perfectly in Homi Adajania’s offbeat world and proved that he could thrive outside commercial cinema too.
