His major hit as a romantic hero was opposite Kajol in 'Pyaar to hona hi tha' which was based on the hollywood film 'French Kiss'. The film gave him the much needed commercial success as well as critical acclaim. 'Hogi pyaar ji jeet' was a major hit in the interiors and broke records in places like Bihar. Just as everyone thought that this is all Ajay could do, there came Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Hum dil de chuke sanam' which in my opinion is one of Ajay Devgan's most sensitive and mature performance ever. His role of Vanraj, the husband who loved his wife so much that he wanted to re unite her with her lover, got him tons of critical appraisal and the film also went on to become a major hit. His scene after getting drunk near the lake side in Europe is one of the most touching scenes that has been scripted, and Ajay has done it with grace and dignity.
Ajay had finally made his secure place in the industry full of Khans and muscular hunks. He was accepted inspite of his average looks and lean physique. His marriage to Kajol was again in the medias focus, and he handled it well. He never got himself involved into any controversies or allegations, though everyone knows that he was dating Karisma Kapoor for a long time before they broke up. Ajay's marriage made producers run to his door to get him films signed with wifey Kajol, though sadly besides 'Pyaar to hona hi tha' the pair haven't been that successful at the box-office. His home production 'Raju Chacha was made on a stupendous budget fell down like a pack of cards in a day. The movie had everything but a good tight script. Ajay accepted the public judgment and carried on.
He again sparkled in Raj Kumar Santoshi's Lajja in the role of a dacoit Bulwa. Ajay has been pleasing his audience with his variety of roles, and it seems he will continue doing so. Heres wishing him all the best, and hoping that he will continue to sparkle like a gem and outshine his colleagues. |
