With Akshaye Khanna back in the limelight thanks to the rising buzz around ‘Dhurandar’, Tata Play Binge has rolled out a specially curated streaming list celebrating some of his most compelling and entertaining performances.
According to a press release, the platform is spotlighting a selection of titles that showcase why Khanna remains one of Bollywood’s most quietly powerful and consistently versatile actors.
The line-up cuts across genres, reminding viewers of the enviable range he brings to the screen. Whether it is intense thrillers, political dramas or full-blown family comedies, each title highlights a different shade of his craft, making it an ideal warm-up before audiences catch him next in ‘Dhurandar’.
Among the featured titles is ‘Dishoom’, where Khanna turns antagonist with sharp precision, playing a calm and calculated mastermind who becomes the centrepiece of a high-stakes investigation involving a missing cricketer ahead of an India–Pakistan match. His composed menace adds surprising depth to the commercial entertainer led by John Abraham and Varun Dhawan.
Audiences can revisit Khanna’s impeccable comic timing in ‘Hungama’, Priyadarshan’s chaotic hit where misunderstandings spiral into laugh-out-loud mayhem. As the suspicious and increasingly bewildered fiancé, he stands out alongside Paresh Rawal and Rimi Sen, keeping the humour fresh even today. Khanna’s flair for satire reappears in The Accidental Prime Minister, where he delivers a sharp and steady performance as Sanjaya Baru, guiding viewers through political corridors with poise opposite Anupam Kher.
On the thriller front, ‘Drishyam 2’ offers one of his most gripping turns in recent years. Playing IG Tarun Ahlawat, Khanna brings a blend of intensity and strategic calm as he matches wits with Ajay Devgn’s Vijay Salgaonkar. His presence raises the tension across the narrative, adding to the sequel’s intrigue. Returning to lighter tones, ‘Hungama 2’ features him in a memorable special appearance where his trademark deadpan delivery effortlessly commands attention.
Rounding off the list is ‘Section 375’, one of the standout courtroom dramas of recent times, with Khanna delivering a searing performance as a determined defence lawyer navigating a high-profile assault case. The film’s layered exploration of consent, law and public perception is elevated by his controlled yet powerful screen presence, making it an essential watch before seeing him take on ‘Dhurandar’.
