Puri. The film was among the highest grossers of the

genre. In 1992, he starred in Jigar which was also a
success at the box office. In 1993, he worked with
director Deepak Bahry on the action film Ek Hi Raasta
opposite Raveena Tandon, but failed to show his
ability.[citation needed] In 1994, Devgan worked in
Harry Baweja's Dilwale, and in Suhaag and Vijaypath.
Each of these files was very successful. In the year
1995, he worked in Mahesh Bhatt's "Naajayaz", for which
he was nominated for "filmfare best actor award". In
1996, he continued his success in the form of
"Diljale", which was a box office hit. Devgan began

Mahesh Bhatt's Zakhm. The film was highly acclaimed, as
was his performance. He won several awards for his
performance, including the coveted National Film Award
for Best Actor and Star Screen Award Best
Actor. Devgan saw further success in 1999 when Sanjay
Leela Bhansali cast him opposite Salman Khan and
Aishwarya Rai for the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,
which was a critical and commercial success.[2]
Devgan's performance in the film earned him a
nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare. The same
year, he also starred in two other successful projects,
"Hindustan ki kasam" and "Kachche dhage". Devgan went
on to be recognised for his association with filmmaker
Ram Gopal Varma, resulting in several successful
projects. In 2002, the drama Company earned him his
second Star Screen Award Best Actor. In the same year,
his performance in Rajkumar Santoshi's The Legend of
Bhagat Singh won him his second National Film Award for
Best Actor. In 2004, Devgan starred in several
critically appreciated films,[citation needed]
including Mani Ratnam's Yuva and Rituparno Ghosh's
Raincoat. Neither of these projects did well at the box
office.[citation needed] In 2006, he played the title
role in the critically acclaimed adaptation of

starred in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, a remake of the
classic film Sholay. The film was a major failure
critically as well as commercially.[citation

not a box office success,[citation needed] but Devgan's
performance won appreciation from critics.[citation

the box office.[citation needed]. Devgan's directorial
debut, U, Me Aur Hum, in which he starred opposite his
wife, was released on 11 April 2008. The film received
positive reviews and was moderately
successful. Devgan's latest project includes Golmaal
