He made his acting debut in Rajiv Rai's romance Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat (2001). Rampal was appreciated for his performance and received several awards for his work in the movie including a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.

He followed with a string of flops as a lead actor with romance flicks Deewaanapan (2001), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Dil Ka Rishta (2003), Vaada (2005), Inkaar (2013) and Roy (2015), action thrillers Asambhav (2004) and D-Day (2013), mystery thrillers Yakeen (2005) and Fox (2009), socio-political Chakravyuh (2012) and romance comedy Familywala (2014).

His latest venture as a producer is a film based on gangster turned politician Arun Gawli. The film is titled Daddy. Slated for release in early or mid (2017)

His latest release kahaani 2 adds up to his diversified acting and roles career, he has garnered rave reviews from critics and audiences in his part as a promotion hungry cop. Dry, weary and laconic, Rampal plays the investigating policeman and manages to look both hangdog and dignified at once, walking through the film #Kahaani2 with the gait of a once-fit stud who doesn’t now bother about promotions or pasture. It’s a clean and internalised performance, and Rampal — who was also the best thing in Rock On 2 a couple of weeks ago — deserves a hand. - Review by Raja Sen

If Vidya is beyond remarkable in her ability to convey the turmoil and anxieties of a mother who is borderline criminal and potentially imbalanced in her mental equilibrium, Arjun Rampal matches paces with the film’s female hero and at times outpaces her with his penchant for delivering punchlines without flourish. His role of the investigative cop is neatly fleshed out and fabulously performed.Here is an actor who doesn’t try to impress us. Reviewed Subhash K Jha.

Acting career

2001–05: Early lead roles

Rampal made his acting debut in Rajiv Rai's Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat (2001) opposite Sunil Shetty, Aftab Shivdasani and Kirti Reddy. Rampal gave a show stealing performance and earned all the attention. He earned critical acclaim for his performance in the movie.[5][6] Taran Adarsh of indiaFM wrote "Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat is a showcase for Arjun Rampal to exhibit his talent. The guy looks dashing and emotes with utmost sincerity. He's handled the emotional moments with maturity, which is so rare for a first-timer. A confident debut!"[7] This established Rampal as a leading actor in the Indian film industry. He was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut but swapped the awards in the Best Male Debut category at the Star Screen and IIFA ceremonies.

His next release was Ashu Trikha's Deewaanapan, in which Rampal was paired with Dia Mirza. He earned critical acclaim for his performance but the film flopped at the box office.[8] Taran Adarsh of indiaFm wrote "Arjun Rampal carries the film on his broad shoulders and comes up with a sincere performance that is consistent throughout. He is wonderful in action sequences and springs a pleasant surprise in the emotional moments by delivering the apposite expressions."[9] Ashish Magotra of Rediff gave negative reviews on Rampal, writing "Among the actors, Arjun Rampal as the hero does pretty much what he has been known to do. He models. His acting capabilities leave a lot to be desired."[10] His last release of the year was Ashok Mehta's Moksha. It was actually his first film but was released after Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat. Rampal was paired with famous actress Manisha Koirala in a lead role in Moksha. This film marked Rampal's third consecutive flop at the box office but Rampal earned critical acclaim.[11] Taran Adarsh of indiaFm wrote "Arjun Rampal excels in a role that was difficult to portray. He takes giant strides as a performer and proves that he's an actor with an amazing range."[12] Priyanka Bhattacharya of Rediff considered the movie to be "more a 70-mm portfolio for Arjun Rampal than a story."[13]

Rampal's first release of 2002 was Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Aankhen, in which Rampal starred in an ensemble cast featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, Paresh Rawal and Aditya Pancholi. He played the role of a blind person. The film was ranked above average at box office and became the fourth-highest grossing Bollywood film of 2002.[14] His next release was Kundan Shah's Dil Hai Tumhaara opposite Rekha, Preity Zinta, Mahima Chaudhry and Jimmy Shergill. The film was a flop.[14]

In 2003, Rampal played a lead role in Naresh Malhotra's Dil Ka Rishta opposite Aishwarya Rai. Rampal earned critical acclaim for his performance. Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff wrote: "Arjun Rampal shakes off his wooden image and comes up with a good performance. He is subtle and convincing in the emotional scenes. He has certainly moved on from Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat."[15] It was ranked the thirtieth film of the year on the basis of box office collections.[16] Rampal's next role was in Khalid Mohammed's Tehzeeb opposite Urmila Matondkar. Rampal played a Muslim in the film. The film earned critical acclaim.[17] Taran Adarsh praised his performance, quoting "the easy-going attitude his character reflects injects that certain sheen to the enterprise."[18]

In 2004, Rampal collaborated with Rajiv Rai for the second time in his first action thriller Asambhav. Rampal starred opposite Priyanka Chopra and played the role of an Indian commando Captain Aadit Arya. The film was entirely shot in Switzerland. Released on 23 July, Asambhav was Rampal's only release of the year. Shahid Khan of Planet Bollywood wrote: "Arjun Rampal looks good and he suits the mould of the action hero very well."[19][20]

Rampal's first release of 2005 was Satish Kaushik's Vaada, in which he played a lead role opposite Ameesha Patel and Zayed Khan. The film was a flop.[21] Patcy N of Rediff praised Rampal, writing "Arjun Rampal has done a good job; his is a subdued performance, and the model-turned-actor looks great in most scenes."[22] Rampal's next release was Vikram Bhatt's multi-starrer action film Elaan. The film managed to do well and became an average-grosser at the box office. Rampal earned critical acclaim, for his performance in Elaan. Subhash K. Jha of IANS praised Rampal and wrote "Arjun is pretty much on his own. Once again playing a man with responsibilities he brings a controlled conviction to both his scenes with his screen daughter and his engrossing death scene."[23] Merril Diniz of Rediff wrote "Arjun Rampal is almost believable as the rugged ex-cop. He has a deep baritone and svelte body language."[24]

Rampal's third release of the year was the mystery thriller Yakeen, in which Rampal was paired in a lead role with Priyanka Chopra for the second time. He received acclaim for improving his emotional acting.[25] Taran Adarsh praised his performance, quoting "Cast in complex role, Arjun Rampal delivers his best performance so far. The role would've lost its bearings had it been entrusted to an inferior actor, but Arjun sinks his teeth into it and emerges trumps. The actor portrays the gamut of emotions with aplomb and delivers a flawless performance. He is truly efficient in sequences when he starts suspecting his wife's fidelity in the first half. The shower sequence as also the intermission point display Arjun's range as an actor."[26] Rampal's last release of the year was Apoorva Lakhia's Ek Ajnabee opposite Amitabh Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Perizaad Zorabian. This film featured Rampal in his first negative role as Shekhar Verma, the bodyguard of a child, but is actually a corrupted person.[27] Subhash K Jha praised Rampal's performance and wrote "The narrative has some nice supporting performances, particularly Arjun Rampal who's gone both over and under the skin of his bar-owner ex-army man's role. Not only does Rampal look right, he feels right."[28]

His first release of 2006 was the love triangle based Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai opposite Bobby Deol and Ameesha Patel. This film was a delayed release. Satyajit of SmasHits quoted "Arjun Rampal has also been promising and it shows in his performance. The media might have labeled him "wooden actor" but he has shown great improvisation in emotional scenes."[29] Taran Adarsh wrote "Arjun is awkward at places initial portions, but gets into the rhythm subsequently. The emotional sequences in the second half clearly indicate that he's come a long way."[30] His next appearance was the multi-starrer anthology Darna Zaroori Hai. Rampal starred in the story "Spirits Do Come" opposite Bipasha Basu and Makrand Deshpande, directed by Prawal Raman. Despite a star cast, the film flopped at the box office.

2006–07: Producer and breakthrough

Rampal reprised the supporting role of Jasjit in Don - The Chase Begins Again, a remake of the 1978 movie Don. The role had been played by Pran in the original Don. Don - The Chase Begins Again starred Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles and the movie became Rampal's first hit. The film proved to be a breakthrough movie for Rampal, although Khan earned the most attention. Taran Adarsh praised his performance, quoting "Despite the shortcomings, he makes a sincere attempt."[31]

Rampal established his own production company Chasing Ganesha Films with his wife Mehr Jesia. The first movie under that banner I See You was Rampal's last release of 2006. He played a lead role opposite newcomer Vipasha Agarwal. The movie was shot entirely in London, England. Like his past movies, I See You was also a failure at the box office and received poor reviews. However, Rampal earned critical acclaim for his work. Taran Adarsh wrote "I See You rests on Arjun's shoulders. Arjun is efficient in a role that doesn't really demand histrionics. He has proved his credentials in the past and his performance in this film is at par with his earlier works. He works best in the dramatic portions."[32]

In 2007, Rampal starred in a negative role in Om Shanti Om opposite Shahrukh Khan and the debuting Deepika Padukone. The film emerged as the year's highest-grossing film in India and the overseas market, and became India's highest grossing production ever up to that point with a worldwide gross of over ₹1.48 billion.[33] It was Rampal's biggest hit in his career and earned him critical acclaim for his villainous role.[34][35] Sukanya Verma of Rediff wrote "Rampal's persona exudes too much warmth to pass off as a cold-blooded antagonist."[36] Rampal won the Zee Cine Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role for his villainous performance in Om Shanti Om and got nominations at the IIFA, Star Screen and Apsara ceremonies.[37]

2008–10: Critical acclaim

Following the success of Om Shanti Om, Rampal started to rise as a successful actor. In 2008, Rampal gave an excellent performance in Rock On!! as Joseph "Joe" Mascarenhas, the lead guitarist of a band, a poor idealist who never learned that self-promotion is more important than music in a remixed world.[38] Rampal learned guitar to prepare for his role. His performance was widely acclaimed, earning him the prestigious National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 56th National Film Awards, Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award at the 54th Filmfare Awards, IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 10th IIFA Awards and Screen Award for Best Supporting Actor.[1][2][39][40][41][42] This brought wider success and acclaim to Rampal. Noted critic Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India praised Rampal's performance and wrote "If you actually had to choose, then the vote would go for Arjun Rampal who displays a newfound maturity and looks absolutely groovy with his windblown hair and his guitar-strumming stance."[43] Martin D'Souza of Bollywood Trade News Network praised Rampal, writing "Arjun Rampal is slowly coming into his own. After playing a character with a negative shade in Om Shanti Om, he returns with another powerful performance as Joe Mascarenhas the lead guitarist of the band. Vibrant at first, and then subdued he walks the act with a rock star gait."[44]

Later that year, he starred in Rituparno Ghosh's English-language arthouse film The Last Lear, alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Preity Zinta. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and was received well at a number of other film festivals. Upon its theatrical release in India, Rampal got favourable reviews for his performance. He gave a show-stealing performance. Taran Adarsh wrote "Arjun is evolving into a fine actor. After Rock On!!, this is another performance that would fetch Arjun laurels."[45] Martin D'Souza considered it to be Rampal's best performance to date.[46] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN praised Rampal's performance, writing "Arjun Rampal shines as the guilt-ridden filmmaker, too ashamed to even apologise for his selfishness."[47]

Rampal's only release of 2009 was Deepak Tijori's Fox, in which he starred opposite Sunny Deol, Sagarika Ghatge and Udita Goswami. The film mainly received negative reviews and flopped at the box office but Rampal earned critical acclaim. Taran Adarsh praised Rampal's performance as perfect.[48]

2010 would go on to become the most successful year of Rampal's career with three back to back hits. The first was Sajid Khan's comedy film Housefull, in which he starred in a supporting role. The film received negative reviews but became a huge hit at the box office. Rampal's next release was Prakash Jha's multi-starrer Raajneeti. Rampal received critical acclaim for his supporting role of Prithvi in the movie. Taran Adarsh wrote "Arjun is a revelation and what a terrific performance he pitches in. He's like an untamed lion."[49] His performance earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award.[50] He won the award in the Best Supporting Actor at the IIFA, Apsara and Zee Cine categories.[51][52] His last release of the year was Siddharth Malhotra and Karan Johar's We Are Family, in which he played a lead role opposite Kajol and Kareena Kapoor. It was an average grosser and Rampal's first successful movie that featured him in a lead role. Taran Adarsh wrote "Arjun continues to surprise. Rock On!!, Housefull, Raajneeti and now We Are Family indicates the growth of this actor. He handles the emotional moments well too."[53][54]

2011–present: Ra.One and other projects

In 2011, Rampal played the titular negative role in Anubhav Sinha's science fiction movie Ra.One. The movie became a successful film in India and overseas and received mixed reviews. Rampal's new bald look earned him a lot of appreciation and popularity within the audiences. Majority of the fans considered his Ra. One look to be better than the protagonist G.One.[55] He earned critical acclaim for his villainous performance. Martin D'Souza praised Rampal's performance and considered him to be the savior of the film that was being flawless in the second half. He wrote "It's only after the interval that the plot meanders a bit, loses it sting and almost falls apart like a pixealised image, before Arjun lights up the screen."[56] Arthur J Pais of Rediff.com wrote "The best person to gain from the film directed by Anubhav Sinha with more inane and crude sexual jokes than in any recent Hindi film, is Arjun Rampal. His body language and brooding face creates a quietly menacing villain."[57] Raja Sen wrote "Arjun Rampal is the best thing in the biggest budget Indian feature of all time".[58] Aseem Chhabra considered Rampal to be the "most interesting element of the film."[59]

Rampal had three releases in 2012: Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, Prakash Jha's Chakravyuh and the comedy movie Ajab Gazabb Love, with all three failing at the box office. However, Rampal earned critical acclaim for his performances. In Heroine, Rampal played the role of Aryan Khanna, a well-known actor, starring opposite Kareena Kapoor.[60][61] The movie failed to become a success at the box office with an earning of ₹225 million (US$3.3 million) nett at the weekend. It was declared below average by Box Office India.[62]

In Chakravyuh, Rampal played the role of a police officer SP Adil Khan, starring opposite Abhay Deol, Esha Gupta, Manoj Bajpai, Om Puri and Anjali Patil.[63] The film grossed ₹158.8 million (US$2.4 million) in the first week.[64] However, Rampal earned critical acclaim for his performance as a police officer.[65] Rohit Vats of CNN-IBN wrote "Arjun Rampal's image and dialogue delivery mar his chances but it is one of his better performances, in fact he has given Abhay Deol a run for his money in double shots."[66]

In Ajab Gazabb Love, Rampal played the double role of twin brothers Karan and Arjun, based on the popular duo of Karan Arjun from the hit 1995 film of the same name.[67] Though the film flopped at the box office, Rampal earned critical acclaim for his double role performance.[68][69] Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times of India wrote "Arjun Rampal's, comic-timing is a revelation. His double-act entertains and adds energy to this comedy."[70]

His first release of 2013 was Sudhir Mishra's Inkaar opposite Chitrangada Singh. Though the film flopped at the box office, Rampal earned positive reviews for his critically acclaimed performance by critics and audiences.[71][72] Taran Adarsh praised Rampal's performance, quoting "Arjun Rampal displays remarkable understanding of the character. Post Chakravyuh, which released a few months ago, this is yet another power-packed performance that makes you realize that this supermodel has transformed into a super actor."[73]

His next film was Nikhil Advani's action movie D-Day, co-starring Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Shruti Haasan and Huma Qureshi. He portrayed Rudra Pratap Singh, a RAW agent.[74] In order to prepare for his role, Rampal met real RAW agents.[75] He earned critical acclaim for his performance. Mohar Basu of Koimoi wrote "Arjun Rampal has evolved for the better as an actor. His infallible personality and his portrayal that has hints of both anguish and strength is what makes him stand out despite the presence of more powerful actors. He acted like a dream and that is commendable, to say the least."[76] Rummana Ahmed of Yahoo! Movies wrote "As a former army officer and now an undercover agent, Arjun is intense and sharp, his body language apt and his performance precise."[77] Shubha Shetty of Mid Day wrote "It is Arjun Rampal as Rudra who amazes with a performance that is undoubtedly his best till date. Rampal, apart from looking as gorgeous as he does, comfortably displays a range of emotions with surprising deft."[78] Mansha Rastogi of Now Running. com wrote "Arjun Rampal has excelled himself by leaps and bound and makes a commendable effort of an ex-army man turned RAW Agent delightfully."[79] Rajeev Masand wrote "Arjun Rampal does some of his best work here as the rebellious agent simmering with pent up anger."[80] Sarit Ray of Hindustan Times wrote "Arjun Rampal (agent Rudra Pratap Singh) brings to the role what he brings to every film — good looks and a standard brooding expression."[81]

His last release of the year was Prakash Jha's Satyagraha (2013). Rampal was featured in an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao. Rampal played the role of Arjun Singh, a social activist who joined a campaign to free his former college principal.[82]

In 2015, after a year-long absence from the screen, Rampal was seen in a romantic thriller film Roy (2015) alongside Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor. This was a critical and commercial failure.[83] A critic Sarita A. Tanwar described as a "boring, exhausting and pretentious" film.[84]

Rampal is currently working on Rock On!! 2 which is set to release on November 2016 and Kahaani 2 which is set to release on December 2016. He is also working in a biopic on gangster turned politician Arun Gawli called Daddy.
