He is underrated but the problem is that he got type casted.. When given the opportunity he did rock it with his performance, but he was never able to get above the serial kisser tag.. Also he is reclusive and does not seem to be the type who would try vehemently for a part or role in his career, which as I see it does not get you anywhere.. And I don't think any actor has managed to make a succesfull transition from being a sex and erotic movie hero to a superstar.. movie goers tend to have a hard time accepting that and just form an opinion k ye banda hai tou movie erotic hi hogi

He should have never left the Bhatt camp. When he returned , the damage was already done

It was necessary for him to explore other genres. He can't do erotic movies till the age of 38. Audience would've rejected him anyway. It's another thing that it didn't work out.

The young crop of actors stole his thunder when all of them started kissing onscreen and made it normal and not unique for only Hashmi films 😆

P.S- I do think he is a good actor though. I loved him in Once Upon a time.

This might be one reason for his downfall. But I can't buy that his popularity was only because of Kissing and cheap sex scenes. He had a charm and connect with the audience, which made him popular among the single screen audience.

Emraan Hasmi's image itself dragged him down. The same sexy image made him popular but that same pulled him down too. For some time it was good and different that he would kiss and do sex scenes but after a while that novelty factor was off and it became boring and routine. Emraan should have sensed that made attempt to move out but he didnt. For any actor to be sustain over a period of time has to appeal to mass audience and not just adults or sex starved audience.

Emraan did try non-erotic genre, but audience never accepted him in such type of films. Though lets not talk about novelty, when Salman and SRK have made their careers by doing movies of the same genre since inception.

Because he doesn't have the x star factor. His USP was kissing and then everyone in BW started kissing so that took away his main audience pull. People say he's a good actor but there are lots of good actors around. Truth is he never had that kind of attraction for the masses and therefore no one misses him.

I was surprised in the first place that he got any stardom at all. I used to always think that actors who go after easy popularity because of sex scenes and kissing can never make it big. But Emraan was well-liked and had a fan following of sorts and I used to never understand why. That is until I saw some of his movies. His appeal is not just that he kisses onscreen or does bold scenes but his style and charm. He is an okay actor too. But that could only take him so far. I don't think he's become irrelevant. He's just going through a slow phase. He can pick up and do more movies cuz he might not be the so called superstar but he has made his own place in BW.

Nowadays I feel like movies which have Emraan still have some class as opposed to KSG or wannabe telly actors. I think that's great.

I also used to think like you.😆 I used to wonder what people really see in him?? He's just another actor trying to get cheap attention by doing B-grade films. What is so special about him?? But when I watched Awarapan, I realized what a great actor is hidden behind all the smooching. Yes, he's a charming actor, and has a unique style and aura in him.

I really wish he bounces back soon, but I'm afraid it's too late now.
