Emraan Hashmi delivered one of his career-best performances in Awarapan (2007), a crime thriller directed by Mohit Suri. He played Shivam Pandit, a brooding hitman working for a gangster, whose life takes a turn when he is ordered to kill a girl but chooses redemption instead. It showcased him in a mature, emotional role, proving his versatility beyond the "Serial Kisser" tag.

In Tum Mile (2009), Emraan Hashmi played Akshay, an ambitious artist who rekindles his romance with his ex-girlfriend (played by Soha Ali Khan) amidst the backdrop of the 2005 Mumbai floods. A mix of romance and disaster drama, the film beautifully captured love, heartbreak, and survival. Tum Mile remains one of his most memorable romantic films.

In Crook: It's Good to Be Bad (2010), Emraan Hashmi played Jai, a carefree young man who moves to Australia and gets caught in the midst of racial violence against Indians. The film, directed by Mohit Suri, blended action, romance, and social issues, highlighting Emraan’s signature edgy persona. Though Crook received mixed reviews, its music and Emraan’s performance were appreciated. 

Emraan Hashmi gained massive fame with the Murder franchise. His breakthrough role in Murder (2004) as the passionate lover made him Bollywood’s "Serial Kisser." He returned in Murder 2 (2011) with a darker, intense role as an ex-cop, earning box office success. However, Murder 3 (2013) featured Randeep Hooda instead. The franchise played a crucial role in shaping Emraan’s career in romantic thrillers.

In The Dirty Picture (2011), Emraan Hashmi played Abraham, a rebellious filmmaker who initially despises Silk (Vidya Balan) but later develops a deep connection with her. Unlike his usual romantic roles, Emraan’s character was intense and layered, adding depth to the film’s emotional narrative. The movie, inspired by the life of Silk Smitha, was a massive hit.
