While he was busy delivering these gems one after the other, in between he produced quite a few successful movies as well as composed music for several of his produced movies like Dedh Ishqiya, Ek Thi Daayan, Drishyam.

Every once in a while there comes a movie which leaves an imprint on you. It takes you away from the daily distractions of life, and puts you in another mental zone altogether. Such movies push you to think of them not just as a mere source of entertainment, but as a detailed and fine craft, which when done perfectly, could leave you spellbound.

Mind you, making these kind of movies is an equally taxing job. A lot goes into making a film, there's no denying that. But apart from these, sometimes we get to watch a few movies which are high on talent and performance. And I can count such movies on my fingertips- Guru, Black, Gangs Of Wasseypur, or the most recent Masaan.

While Deepak Dobriyal, aka Pappiji of Tanu Weds Manu had done few movies earlier, including Maqbool, it was Omkara which got him the recognition. And although he had a minor role in it, he played it flawlessly well. Didn't I say the ensemble cast was amazing too! In fact, he bagged the Filmfare Special Performance Award that year for his portrayal of Rajju.

As a 90's kid, having watched almost all his movies, I couldn't remember even a single one in which he really stood out. And then comes Omakara in 2006, and I was like, *woooot*! Is this really Saif? And if it really is, then why on Earth wasn't he doing this kind of acting before? Or may be he was just waiting for Langda Tyagi to happen all along! Nevertheless, Saif played such an intensely negative character for the first time in his career span of (then) 14 years, and literally showed us his wow (imagine it in Saif's voice!) factor. In fact, that year he whisked away Filmfare award too for Best Villainous performance.

Omkara was one of the best films of Deepak Dobriyal. It was one of his initial movies wherein he got a prominent role to play. The film was directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starred Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. Deepak Dobriyal played the role of Rajan 'Rajju' Tiwari and many critics praised his performance in the movie.

The chairman of Eros Motion Picture said that they will ensure to keep the essence of the classic movies untouched while "infusing energy and "fresh vibrance" to them. Talking about the same, Anand Pandit said that both the films were trailblazers of their time and still "unforgettable". He added that the movies have a cult following and this is the perfect time to revisit the blockbusters for the new generation. 2ff7e9595c
