Rowdy Rathore, in which Akshay Kumar plays a double role is one of his most famous action films that made it to the 100 crore club and also had everyone copying his moves. Holiday, which is a remake of Tamil Film Thuppakki features Akshay Kumar as a captain in the DIA, chasing goons and saving the city from bomb blasts. The stylized action in the movie won praise. The climactic scene where Akshay destroys Freddy Daruwala and his goons, makes the ticket completely worth the price.
Comedy
Desi Boyz is another adorable movie with the right mix of romance and comedy, with his camaraderie with John Abraham as well as his steamy romance with Chitrangada Singh. Infact almost all his movies including Sinngh Is King, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha have the right bit of romance.
With Baby, he played a deadly covert RAW agent on a mission to eliminate major terrorists. Another movie Airlift, is based on the famous human evacuation from Kuwait. Akshay experienced success once more after adapting his strategy and developing a subtly layered character. Patriotism once again came to his aid.
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is also another movie in the genre. It is based on his wife Twinkle Khanna’s book The Legend of Laxmi Prasad and it has set out to create social awareness about menstruation and how it’s not a taboo but instead a process that is natural and one that women go through each month.
Another recent hit that is a new release is Cuttputlli. This Hotstar original film is an official remake of the Tamil film, Ratsaaan. It’s based on a series of murders that is placed in Kasauli, and features Akshay Kumar as man on a mission to find a serial killer.
Not only is Akshay Kumar a brilliant artist but also a great performer. He is a force to reckon with, and truly resembles a one-man business in Bollywood. He has demonstrated his strength throughout the past decade and more, and has a significant impact on Indian cinema. On the occasion of his 55th birthday, we hope for more laughs, great moments and energy packed movies.
