Right from his debut to his upcoming film Raid 2, I’m here to talk about all the 10 best Ajay Devgn movies! So, grab your popcorn and sit tight!
1. Phool Aur Kaante(1991)
Let’s start with the one that started it all! Ajay Devgn’s entry scene on two bikes? Absolutely iconic. This action-romance was his big Bollywood debut, and he definitely made sure that everyone remembered his name. Nostalgia trip, anyone? Watch Phool Aur Kaante on ZEE5 and you’re guaranteed to go down memory lane.
2. Company(2002)
Ram Gopal Varma’s Company is a classic gangster drama! And let me tell you, it just hits differently. Ajay Devgn as Malik, the calm yet menacing underworld don, is peak cinema. He absolutely owns the screen in every frame. It’s all about the subtle power and intense stares. Even when he’s standing against the legendary Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, Ajay nails it. Yes, Company also marked the Hindi debut of Mohanlal, who is currently seen in L2: Empuraan, running in theatres across the globe. You seriously need more reasons to watch it?
3. The Legend of Bhagat Singh(2002)
Ajay Devgn as Bhagat Singh? Goosebumps! His portrayal of the legendary freedom fighter won him a National Award, and for all the right reasons. From fiery speeches to soulful patriotism, Ajay delivered it all like a pro. If you haven’t seen this one in a while, it’s time you paid it a revisit.
4. Gangaajal(2003)
Directed by Prakash Jha, Gangaajal is a raw and gritty take on corruption within the police force. Ajay’s role as SP Amit Kumar is unforgettable. His unwavering honesty and fierce resolve make you root for him throughout the film. On top of that, the intensity he brings to the screen is just chef’s kiss. Watch this if you want to see him in an intense, righteous role.
5. Omkara(2006)
Shakespeare goes desi in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Omkara. Watch Ajay Devgn bring Othello’s Indian version to life like nobody else. The rugged charm, the brooding intensity, the jealousy – he nails it all. It’s dark, it’s dramatic, it’s everything you’d expect from an Othello adaptation. And Ajay’s performance in this one – pure gold!
6. Golmaal Movie Series(2006 Onwards)
Ajay Devgn’s transition from action hero to comedy king is commendable! His hilarious avatar as Gopal in Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal movie series leaves you in stitches. Whether it’s the slapstick humor, the crazy antics, or just Ajay and the rest of the ensemble cast’s impeccable comic timing, this film series is an absolute riot. Whether it’s Golmaal, Golmaal Returns(available in select countries with the Epic On Add-on on ZEE5), or the highly anticipated Golmaal 5, this film series is perfect for some stress-busting laughs.
7. Singham Movie Series(2011 Onwards)
One of the top Ajay Devgn movies has to be Singham. After this one, every other kid was seen saying, “Aata Majhi Satakli!” mimicking Devgn’s Singham. This Rohit Shetty directorial turned Ajay Devgn into the ultimate action hero. As Bajirao Singham, he delivers punches and punchlines with equal swag. It’s loud, it’s fun, it’s the perfect massy entertainer. And Ajay’s charisma just makes it all work.
8. Drishyam Movie Series(2015 Onwards)
If you’re in the mood for a mind-bending thriller, Ajay’s role as Vijay Salgaonkar is just perfect. Whether it’s Drishyam or Drishyam 2, both of these movies are absolute masterpieces! When it comes to suspense and drama movies, there’s nothing like the Drishyam movie series. Watching him outsmart everyone like it’s a cake walk? Total satisfaction, guaranteed!
9. RRR(2022)
Yes, I know, RRR is all about the grand scale, Ram Charan and Jr. NTR’s impeccable acting, their world famous dance on Naatu Naatu, but Ajay Devgn’s cameo? Pure impact. Playing Alluri Sitarama Raju’s father, his emotional intensity makes the scenes that he’s in unforgettable. It’s a short role but one that leaves a mark. Plus, the movie in itself is just a blast.
10. Shaitaan(2024)
Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan teaming up for Shaitaan? It couldn’t get better than this! This supernatural horror film, directed by Vikas Bahl, surpassed all my expectations. Horror? Check! Unsettling?
