Shahid
The
talented
actor
pulled
off
an
impressive
act
in
this
Hansal
Mehta
directorial
and
even
bagged
a
National
Award.
Based
on
real-life
events,
Rao
played
the
role
of
slained
lawyer-activist
Shahid
Azmi
and
left
everyone
in
awe
of
his
act.
Trapped
As
a
man
who
accidentally
ends
up
locking
himself
in
his
flat,
Rao
left
a
lasting
impact
even
with
limited
dialogues
and
space.
Newton
Rajkummar
Rao
wore
the
role
like
his
second
skin
and
his
dripping
innocence
in
the
film
proved
yet
again
why
he
is
one
of
the
versatile
actors
in
Bollywood.
Omerta
Playing
a
dark
character
can
be
quite
emotionally
exhausting.
As
a
cold-blooded
sociopath
in
'Omerta',
the
actor
left
us
shuddering
with
fear
with
his
chilling
immorality.
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi
The
film
might
be
Kriti
Sanon's
show
but,
it
was
Rajkummar
Rao
who
stole
away
our
hearts
with
his
transition
from
a
simpleton
to
a
'character
gone
rogue'.
Stree
Bollywood
got
its
new-age
Raj
with
this
horror-comedy
where
the
actor
left
everyone
spellbound
with
his
terrific
comic
timing.
