2012–2015: Film debut and career struggles

Khurrana at an event for Vicky Donor (2012), his film debut

Khurrana made his acting debut in 2012 with Shoojit Sircar's romantic comedy Vicky Donor, co-starring Annu Kapoor and Yami Gautam. It marked the production debut of actor John Abraham, and starred Khuranna in the titular role of a sperm donor. In preparation, he attended acting workshops and interacted with medical professionals.[20] For the film's soundtrack, he sang "Pani Da Rang", which he had written and composed with Rochak Kohli back in 2003.[21] Praising the film's ensemble cast, Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote that Khurrana's "candid disposition and roguish face ensures his street smart drollery works like a breeze".[22] With worldwide earnings of over ₹610 million (US$7.3 million) against a budget of ₹100 million (US$1.2 million), Vicky Donor emerged as a commercial success.[23] At the Filmfare Awards ceremony, Khurrana was awarded trophies for Best Male Debut and Best Male Playback Singer.[24]

The following year, Khurrana collaborated with Kunaal Roy Kapur in Rohan Sippy's Nautanki Saala! (2013), a comedy based on the French film Après Vous (2005). Anupama Chopra found Khurrana to be "earnest" in it but felt that his comedic work was overshadowed by that of Roy Kapur.[25] He also recorded two songs for the film's soundtrack.[26] A year later, Khurrana collaborated with Yash Raj Films (as part of a three-film deal) in the romantic comedy Bewakoofiyaan (2014), co-starring Sonam Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, about a young man who has trouble convincing his girlfriend's father to approve of their marriage.[27] Writing for The New York Times, Andy Webster disliked the film's "strained, contrived humor" but commended Khurrana for "holding his own opposite [Rishi] Kapoor".[28] Both Nautanki Saala and Bewakoofiyaan were commercially unsuccessful, as was his next release, Hawaizaada (2015).[29] In it, he played the scientist Shivkar Bapuji Talpade, for which he lost weight and learnt to speak Marathi.[30] In the same year, Khurrana collaborated with his wife, Tahira Kashyap, to write his autobiography Cracking the Code: My Journey to Bollywood.[31]

Khurrana's career prospects improved when he starred opposite newcomer Bhumi Pednekar in the Sharat Katariya directed-romance Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015).[32][33] It tells the story of an underachieving man who is married against his will to an overweight woman. Anuj Kumar of The Hindu praised him for effectively capturing his character's "diction and body language".[34] Despite minimal promotions, the film emerged as a commercial success, grossing over ₹410 million (US$4.9 million) worldwide against its ₹140 million (US$1.7 million) budget.[35][36]

2017–present: Commercial success

Khurrana at a screening of Andhadhun in 2018. For his performance in the film, he won the National Film Award for Best Actor.

Two years later, after starring in the poorly received Meri Pyaari Bindu, Khurrana's career progressed with his two other films releases of 2017, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, both of which were commercially successful.[6][32] In the former, adapted from Nicolas Barreau's French novel The Ingredients of Love, he played alongside Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon as a writer involved in a love triangle.[37] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote that Khurrana does a "convincing job of mutating from a brooding jilted lover to a crooked manipulator who puts his own interests above everyone else's".[38] In Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, he starred opposite Bhumi Pednekar as a newly engaged man suffering from erectile dysfunction. A remake of the Tamil film Kalyana Samayal Saadham (2013), Khurrana hoped that the film's humorous take on mental and sexual problems faced by men would bring wider attention to the topic.[39] Rajeev Masand took note of how well the film handled sexuality without being crude and commended him for "investing the fellow with genuine likeability and an understated charm".[40] Khurrana received a Filmfare Award for Best Actor nomination for the latter film.[41]

In 2018, Khurrana starred in two of the top-grossing Hindi films of the year.[42] His first role was in Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun, a thriller co-starring Tabu and Radhika Apte, in which he played a blind pianist who unwillingly becomes embroiled in a murder. He lobbied for the part after hearing about it from the casting director Mukesh Chhabra,[43] and in preparation, he learnt how to play the piano and interacted with blind piano players.[44][45] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Mint praised Khurrana for giving a "taut performance that balances vulnerability with craftiness" and Ankur Pathak of HuffPost found his to be "a layered, no-holds-barred performance worth applauding".[46][47] Andhadhun earned ₹4.56 billion (US$55 million) worldwide, a majority of which came from the Chinese box office, to become Khurrana's highest-grossing release and one of Indian cinema's biggest grossers.[42][48] He next starred in Badhaai Ho, a comedy from director Amit Sharma about a young man whose middle-aged mother get pregnant. Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost considered his performance to be "completely convincing" and commended him for choosing "to work in small films where the star is the story".[49] A sleeper hit, it grossed ₹2.21 billion (US$26 million) worldwide.[42][50] For Andhadhun, Khurrana won the National Film Award for Best Actor (shared with Vicky Kaushal for Uri: The Surgical Strike) and the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.[51][52]

The series of successful films continued with Khurrana's 2019 releases: Article 15, Dream Girl, and Bala.[53][54] In the formermost, directed by Anubhav Sinha, he played the starring role of a righteous police officer solving a rape case. Highlighting caste discrimination in India, the film was inspired by multiple events, including the 2014 Badaun gang rape allegations and the 2016 Una flogging incident.[55][56] Khurrana agreed to the project to play a dark and intense character for the first time in his film career.[57] Writing for The Guardian, Wendy Ide commended him for "combin[ing] soulful Bollywood heartthrob charisma with an arrestingly intense performance."[58] In Raaj Shaandilyaa's comedy Dream Girl, he starred as a cross-gender actor who speaks in a female voice while working at a call centre which unwittingly attracts male attention.[59] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in considered his "manic energy and believable Everyman persona" to be the film's highlight.[60] His next release, Bala, which reunited him with Pednekar and Yami Gautam, was a satirical comedy-drama by Amar Kaushik, in which he played a young man who faces societal pressure due to premature balding. He found it physically challenging to play the part due to the heavy layers of prosthetics used on his head.[61] Rajeev Masand opined that Khurrana "cuts a sympathetic figure as another not-instantly-likeable loser" and added that he had "cornered the market when it comes to playing flawed, insecure men with confidence issues".[62]

Khurrana will next reteam with Shoojit Sircar for the comedy Gulabo Sitabo, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, and play a gay man in a spin-off to Shubh Mangal Saavdhan entited Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.[63][64]
