This action spy thriller is a different venture than most of Irrfan's roles. It's a story of RAW agents on a mission to capture you know who. Characters are three dimensional, well developed and well acted by the ensemble cast.
It know what it is and it delivers well than expected. Have fun watching it.
4. Life of Pi (2012):
This Academy Award winning Ang Lee classic is about the journey of a hindu boy for India (Irrfan) lost at sea with a tiger ona boat. The tale unfold a surreal world full of astonishing events. This was treat to watch in 3D back when it came in the cinemas, but it still is a great movie to back to anytime.

Irrfan plays a bandit turned athlete in the far stretches of India. Irrfan has been critically praised for his portrayal of the title character. Blending of humour, tragedy, and the tidbits of it's genre it comes through. Its flawless and gripping nature made it stand out unexpectedly, especially at that time. This shows the integrity that Irrfan will always be known for.

The story of a hard-working Indian orphan boy hitting luck and circumstances and winning... well... Millions as the title suggests. Story is as smooth as a Charles Dickens' story. Danny Boyle casted Irrfan as a cop as he had always wanted to work with him. This movie won an Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director and many more categories at Oscars 2009.

Okay, I know maybe you were expecting this one to be lower in our list or maybe you just didn't see it coming. Th Lunchbox is a hidden gem. Mostly underrated in Irrfan's long career. This movie hits you hard in the heart. An emotional drama with beautiful cinematography and a performance to remember by Irrfan.

In this show's absolutely amazing storyline, Irrfan gives a really touching performance as he talks about his psyche with Gabe. The whole allegory or his broken bat is amazing in itself.
