MUMBAI: In Indian cinema, conventionality has always been a subject of debate. Over the years, audiences have seen actors take on larger-than-life roles, where grandiosity often overshadows relatability and slice-of-life storytelling. While some actors have built their careers on mass appeal, others have captivated audiences with grounded performances—and Avinash Tiwary is one of them.
The critically acclaimed film Laila Majnu marked a turning point in Avinash Tiwary's career, and since then, there has been no looking back. By playing a passionate romantic lead in the intense drama, he made a lasting impression in Indian cinema, gaining recognition for his nuanced craft. His sincerity and relatability added depth to the film, contributing to its ‘cult’ status. Released in 2018, Laila Majnu has stood the test of time and is still considered one of the finest romantic films in Indian cinema.
After his romantic debut, Avinash expanded his horizons with the period horror film Bulbbul. His compelling performance in the critically acclaimed film showcased his versatility and earned him widespread praise. Even in the early stages of his career, Avinash chose the unconventional path, constantly breaking free from being typecast. But that was just the beginning.
Avinash further demonstrated his range in the crime drama series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, where he took on the unpredictable role of a supervillain, delivering a spine-chilling performance. His acting prowess was further highlighted in Kaala, Bambai Meri Jaan, and his latest release, The Mehta Boys—all of which received critical acclaim. While he has undoubtedly won over audiences, he has also caught the attention of critics with his ability to seamlessly adapt to diverse genres and fresh narratives. His success across both the big screen and OTT platforms makes him one of the rare actors who consistently leaves a mark with each project, including the comedy flick Madgaon Express.
From Laila Majnu to The Mehta Boys, Avinash Tiwary's filmography has been on a steady upward trajectory. As he continues to push his boundaries, his fans eagerly await his next release, O Saathi Re. The project marks his reunion with director Imtiaz Ali for an intense romantic drama series, where he will be seen sharing screen space with Aditi Rao Hydari for the first time. Though the project was recently announced, anticipation is already at an all-time high, leaving fans waiting with bated breath for further details.
