Not many actors are able to receive critical success as well as commercial success. Aamir Khan is one name that comes to mind who has received both substantially. Another name that comes to mind is that of Shreyas Talpade who in his short career span has managed to garner both. He has been in the midst of the action with some great critically acclaimed performances and then at the same time he has been part of some hugely successful commercial movies.

He made his debut with Iqbal for which the critics honored him with the best actor award at the Zee Cine Awards. Then he went on to put together other critically acclaimed performances in movies like Dor, Dil Dosti Etc and Welcome to Sajjanpur. He won the best comedian award for his performance in the movie Dor. Working with a director like Shyam Benegal at the start of your career would have helped a lot.

Not restricting himself to offbeat movies, he took a plunge into commercial cinema and became a part of movies like Om Shanti Om, Apna Sapna Money Money and Golmaal Returns. The fact that the directors are ready to caste him in both form of cinema shows his versatility as an actor.

The fact that he has made such a name for himself can be attributed to the fact that he has chosen the scripts wisely. Even now, he is not on a signing spree. He is working only in those movies that provide him an opportunity to grow as an actor. He will be having movies like Hook Ya Crook, Paying Guest, Aashayein, Season’s Greetings, Aage Se Right and Click releasing in the coming months.
