Qarib Qarib Single<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this sweet romantic comedy, Irrfan is portrayed as a carefree and witty fellow. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/qarib-qarib-singlle\/0-0-movie_373780794\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qarib Qarib Single<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows what happens when a quirky poet, Yogi, meets the subdued and melancholic widow Jaya. They meet through a dating app, and a combination of comedy and twists ensues as they embark on a trip to meet Yogi&#8217;s past girlfriends. Irrfan&#8217;s comic timing and approach to his character are impeccable in this movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Madaari\"><\/span><b>2.

He kidnaps the son of a politician to present a message to the system. The movie is an engrossing thriller with a strong emotional core. Irrfan shows how intense agony can turn into a force for justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Haider\"><\/span><b>3.

Irrfan appears in a cameo but pivotal role as Roohdaar, the mysterious man who turns the hero&#8217;s life around. His ice-cold yet calming diction adds a chilling intensity to the plot. Only Irrfan could make the role so short yet indelible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Murder_at_Teesri_Manzil_302\"><\/span><b>4. Murder at Teesri Manzil 302<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This film was stuck for years before it eventually came out. But it&#8217;s still worth watching for Irrfan. He is a clever criminal who becomes a part of a bizarre murder case. It&#8217;s a crime and mystery film. Irrfan makes the suspense itself look real and thrilling. Even when the story appears to be old-school, he intrigues with his style and presence. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/murder-at-teesri-manzil-302\/0-0-1z568052\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murder at Teesri Manzil 302<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brings us back to his passion for offbeat, experimental roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Dil_Kabaddi\"><\/span><b>5. Dil Kabaddi<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this adult comedy of everyday relationships, Irrfan stars as a listless husband, attempting to bring some spice to his married life. The film discusses love, lust, and matrimony in a light-hearted but realistic manner. Irrfan&#8217;s acting is offbeat and brave. He acts without making the role too bombastic. His timing for comedy is perfect, and he brings awkwardness to real-looking situations. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zee5.com\/global\/movies\/details\/dil-kabaddi\/0-0-1z5437467\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dil Kabaddi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> establishes his prowess at dealing with adult humor with dignity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Deadline_Sirf_24_Ghante\"><\/span><b>6.

Irrfan is the kidnapper who gives the doctor only 24 hours to meet some cryptic requirement. He is not your stereotypical boisterous villain. Rather, Irrfan is cold and composed, which makes him all the more terrifying. His manipulation of the doctor&#8217;s emotions and dominance over the whole scenario send shivers down one&#8217;s spine. His acting is the best thing in the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Jazbaa\"><\/span><b>7.

Irrfan is an abrasive cop who assists her in cracking the case. As usual, Irrfan brings humor, complexity, and attitude to the part. Even in a movie where he is not the central figure, he commands your attention and refuses to release it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Rog\"><\/span><b>8.

This is one of his initial roles where his talent outweighed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irrfan Khan always chose meaningful and real roles.
