Beyond serial kisser: Emraan Hashmi's hidden gems on OTT

Thanks to a particular scene featuring him becoming growingly popular among the 90s kids, Emraan Hashmi got the tag of ‘serial kisser’ in Bollywood. Although the actor got offered roles of similar kind, he finally broke out of the stereotype, but things were not the same as before. The actor, no matter what work he did, started goin unnoticed. Nonetheless, he has delivered some gems waiting to be explored.

Here are a few worth exploring…

Azhar (SonyLIV)

A movie inspired from the life of former Indian cricket team captain Mohammad Azharuddin, Azhar had everything from glamour to controversy. Nargis Fakhri played the role of his second wife Sangeeta Bijlani (yes, Salman Khan’s ex). The movie went unnoticed in theatres but is now available on SonyLIV (OTTplay Premium) for personal viewing experience.

Why Cheat India (Zee5)

Emraan Hashmi worked in another movie based on a scam. This time it was the teaching scam. Emraan’s character Rakesh would forge exam papers and earn money for it. Trapped into admitting it, Rakesh’s fate hangs in the balance.

Tigers (Zee5)

Tigers, which was initially titled White Lies, is another scandal unfolding. This time, it is with one of the biggest and trusted brands. Set in Pakistan, this is about the dangerous journey of a lone man as he uncovers the dark truth behind the brand – presented as the baby brand, it has killed 1000s of babies.

Hamari Adhuri Kahani (Vi Movies & TV)

If beautiful love stories (extra-marital aside) is your thing, then Hamari Adhuri Kahani is a film you cannot miss watching. It is a story about longing and patiently waiting for love in the midst of challenges.

Ek Thi Daayan (Prime Video)

Emraan Hashmi, who had already tapped into the horror genre with Raaz, perfected it by the time Ek Thi Daayan happened. The mystery would follow you till the very end, and you can never guess what is causing the supernatural activities, till you do.
