Hashmi eventually garnered praise for his performances in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), The Dirty Picture (2011), Shanghai (2012) and Ek Thi Daayan (2013). He has established himself as a leading contemporary actor of Hindi cinema.[1] Hashmi has received three Filmfare Award nominations in his career.

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama said about his performance, Emraan Hashmi is fantastic in a role that seems tailormade for him. Enacting the role of an obsessive lover with flourish, theres no denying that the narrative gets a major impetus thanks to Emraans performance.[6] Murder emerged as a financial success, with a domestic total of 250 million (US $4.1 million), becoming the ninth-highest grossing film of the year in India.[7] Hashmi next starred in Anurag Basus romance Tumsa Nahin Dekha opposite Dia Mirza. While shooting the film Basu was diagnosed with blood cancer, hence producer-director Mahesh Bhatt completed it.[8] Although the film did not succeed at the box office,[9] his portrayal of Daksh Mittal (a young millionaire who falls in love with a bargirl) was generally well received.
