- Newton (2017)
Newton, a movie starring Rajkummar Rao, was India’s official submission for the 90th Academy Awards’ Best Foreign Language Film category. The film, directed by Amit Masurkar, centres on a young government employee who is dispatched to a Maoist-run town on election day. Pankaj Tripathi and Anjali Patil played the key characters, and the film was shot in the Chattisgarh state. At the box office, the movie enjoyed tremendous success. - Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017)
Rajkummar Rao stood out as the movie’s X-factor in addition to Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon’s roles. The movie, a melodrama about a love triangle, succeeds to captivate viewers with the performances of the many characters. The film, which was directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, promises to be enjoyable. - Badhaai Do (2022)
Rajkummar Rao was perfect in his role as a gay cop. The references in which he admits to being gay and in the police force are perhaps the most ironic. The film directed by Harshavardhan Kulkarni also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Chum Darang in lead roles. - HIT: The First Case (2022)
