### Debut and early career (1984–1988)

[edit]

Anupam Kher made his acting debut in 1984 with Mahesh Bhatt's drama film Saaransh.[23] It didn't performed well commercially, but was a huge critical success and was chosen as India's official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.[24][25] Kher received widespread acclaim for his portraying a 60-year-old man trying to come to terms with the loss of his only son and won his first and only Filmfare Award for Best Actor.[26] The following year, however, none of his films performed well critically or commercially with Rahul Rawail's action drama Arjun co-starring Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia being the exception.[27] This changed in 1986 when he co-starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan in K. Bhagyaraj's crime drama Aakhree Raasta and played the ruthless villain "Dr. Michael Dang" in Subhash Ghai's ensemble actioner Karma, which had Dilip Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Sridevi in the lead.[28][29] While the former was a hit, Karma went on to become a blockbuster and Kher was noticed by the audience.[30][31] The same year, he played supporting role in another major commercial success, which was - Insaaf Ki Awaaz.[30]

In 1987, he appeared alongside Rekha and Raj Babbar in T. Rama Rao's family drama Sansar, which was a commercially successful venture.[32] In 1988, he played negative roles in films, such as Hatya, Zakhmi Aurat and Tezaab.[33][34] Out of these releases, Hatya and Zakhmi Aurat were semi-hits, while the lattermost went many steps ahead and emerged a blockbuster as well as the highest earning film of that year.[35] Kher's other notable release of 1988, Vijay failed at the box office, but won him his first and only Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.[36]

### Breakthrough, public recognition and awards success (1989–2001)

[edit]

After many years of lukewarm critical and commercial success, Kher became a household name in 1989 when he starred in Subhash Ghai's masala film Ram Lakhan, Rajiv Rai's action drama Tridev, Yash Chopra's romantic musical Chandni, Vidhu Vinod Chopra's crime drama Parinda and Pankaj Parashar's comedy drama ChaalBaaz. All the films proved to be critically and commercially successful, especially Ram Lakhan, Tridev and Chandni, all three of which backed up with chartbuster music, emerged blockbusters at the box office and were among the top five highest-grossing films of the year.[37][38] Apart from commercial projects, Kher also collaborated with Mahesh Bhatt for the art-house television film Daddy, which like their previous collaboration Saaransh met with immense acclaim and won Kher his first National Film Award – Special Jury Award as well as Filmfare Award for Best Actor (Critics).[39][40] The following year, he starred in Indra Kumar's blockbuster romantic comedy Dil, which had Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit in the lead roles.[41] For his performance of a greedy father in Dil, Kher received his third nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor category.[26] In 1991, he appeared in highly successful films, including Saudagar, Saathi, Hum and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin.[42] He also collaborated with Yash Chopra for the romantic drama Lamhe, which was a commercial failure, but received positive reception from critics and is now considered a cult classic.[43][44] Kher's performances in Saudagar and Lamhe earned him nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor category.[45]

His other box office hits of this period, include Beta (1992), Shola Aur Shabnam (1992), Lootere (1993), Waqt Hamara Hai (1993), Khalnayak (1993), Hum Hain Kamaal Ke (1993), Gumrah (1993) and Darr (1993).[46] He then appeared in Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994) and Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).[47][48] Both the films did extremely well at the box office and emerged All Time Blockbusters as well as the highest and second highest-grossing film of all time, respectively.[49][50] For his performance in the former, Kher received another nomination in the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor category.[51] In the late-1990s, he continued to play supporting roles in critically and commercially successful ventures, such as Judwaa (1997), Ziddi (1997), Deewana Mastana (1997), Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai (1998), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998), China Gate (1998), Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain (1999) and Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999).[46]

Kher began the new decade playing antagonist in Rakesh Roshan's romantic blockbuster Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai which made Hrithik Roshan a star.[52][53] He followed it with four more major successes the same year with Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, Kya Kehna, Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai and Mohabbatein.[46] In 2001, he had another hit in Jodi No.1 and received praise for his performance in Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, which did not do well commercially, but went on to attain cult status in later years.[46][54]

### Expansion to Hollywood and further acclaim (2002–2018)

[edit]

In 2002, Kher starred in his first Hollywood project which was Gurinder Chadha's sports comedy drama Bend It Like Beckham.[55] The film proved to be a critical and commercial success grossing around $76.6 million worldwide.[56][57] After gap of an year, he reunited with Chadha for Bride and Prejudice, which too was a successful venture.[58] His final collaboration with Chadha took place in 2005 with The Mistress of Spices, which unlike their previous ventures was panned by critics and didn't do well at the box office.[59][60]

During this period, Kher continued to star in notable Hindi films, such as Veer-Zaara (2004), Kyaa Kool Hain Hum (2005) and received immense acclaim and his second National Film Award – Special Jury Award for the 2005 film Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara (which he also produced).[46][61] In the latter-half of the 2000s, he appeared in critically and commercially successful Bollywood ventures, including Rang De Basanti (2006), Chup Chup Ke (2006), Vivah (2006), Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), Apna Sapna Money Money (2006), A Wednesday! (2008), Wake Up Sid (2009) and made his Chinese film debut with Lust, Caution (2007), which too was a box office hit grossing around $67.1 million.[62]

After a gap of almost 3 years, he returned to the big screen playing one of the leads in Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files (2022). It received polarizing response from critics, but proved to be a huge blockbuster and got Kher a nomination in the Best Actor category at 68th Filmfare Awards.[46][69] The same year he appeared in the Telugu film Karthikeya 2, which also emerged a blockbuster at the box office.[70] In 2023, he appeared in the successful Malayalam comedy Voice of Sathyanathan and Kannada actioner Ghost, which too did well.[71][72]

This was followed by a series of box office duds like Shiv Shastri Balboa (2023), IB71 (2023), The Vaccine War (2023), Emergency (2025) and Tumko Meri Kasam (2025).[73][74]
