Irrfan the Man—Little Known. One supposes those keeping records of Irrfan and his body of work would know about his stellar performance. The significant thing about him is the range of different religious performances. How an actor usually serves a character in various tones and colors again and again in front of the audience, only Irfan and a few actors and actresses in the world. I think, nothing important to the poor audience, to be a superstar is easy but to be a perfect actor is difficult.

Even though I was a bit of a fan of his acting, not all films of Irrfan Khan are watched. Here too, I have a theory – everybody is busy running for "food and shelter". One can't pass the leisure time of this busy life watching all the pictures of your favorite actors and actresses, nor should you do so. An actor-actress has to play various roles for survival. To not develop judgment after watching all the films of favorite actors and actresses as a conscious viewer means avoiding an adverse reaction to their performance; as a viewer, one's own passion and independent taste are not formed. Irrfan Khan, and Omar Sunny—many are viewers' tastes that I just cannot swallow everything in Amarar; it is my personal opinion.
Come on, after Irrfan Khan's death, I came to know that he was averse to the title Khan. His sense of independence was unknown to me. I have seen him introduced as Irrfan Khan in his movies and at various events. I also did not know that he was a communist. He was a member of the party at one time. Let's see a little movement with some of the characters in the movie. This is in fact just a small tribute from a viewer's side to the beloved actor who died untimely.
Lunch Box:
Well, this is a romantic movie. This romance develops between the modern-day insulted from family, a robotic personality from society, and two lonely people seeking shelter. Their link is food. One gets pleasure from eating and one gets pleasure from eating family touching food after a long time. Amidst all these characters, Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur act like showing the index finger in front of the audience's eyes. Since Irfan is talking about it, I am in the right role. A lonely man is dangerous, very dangerous, and a monotonous life routine is even worse. We see in Sajaan the perfect actor for the role of a hesitant middle-aged jobber, and sitting in front of the screen we feel, this man is Sajaan. This is the sad, lonely, indecisive accountant. The loneliness of the middle-aged accountant touches us like the touch of the cold wind on the middle-aged body. The audience wants to shake hands with the sorrow of Khali Sazan; here is an actor who succeeds, and here is the charisma of Irrfan.
Paan Singh Tomar:
Not much to say about this movie. Kaira Irrfan Khan won the National Award for her performance in this movie. The story, direction, and acting of this film is a perfect film. Right from the very start to the very end, Irrfan's performance seemed to magnetize the viewer. It is a biopic on Paan Singh Tomar, the national steeplechase champion and army man, and it goes on to portray how a gold-winning athlete becomes a dacoit because of the system in society and corruption. It is a 2012 movie.
Talvar:
This film was based on a real-life case in 2008. Though not a ghost movie still after watching this movie for the first time I wasn't able to sleep comfortably during the whole night. Doctor couple Tandons murder their fourteen-year-old teenage daughter Shruti Tandon and house help son. That was honor killing. Irrfan Khan is seen as a CDI officer in this film. Smoke unwraps the mysterious complexities of the case, and Irrfan is simply too good at his act as a casual, ordinary intelligence officer, making the audience know not all detective characters are CID products. At work, his sharp wit, dark humor, family life disrupted by professional reasons, and love for his wife—impeccable performance by Irrfan. Apart from the star-studded Beshwas and action, Irrfan can also charm the audience by playing the role of Ashwini Kumar.
Billu Barber:
2009 film Billu (Barber). In this movie, Irrfan Khan is a barber in a far-flung village. He lived happily with his wife and two children and used to read stories to the villagers in his spare time. Everything is all right, the problem arises when he comes to the village to shoot Shaheer Khan, everyone in the village pressures Billur to introduce them to his friend, and while defying superstar protocol, Billu can't reach his old friend at all. Everyone in the village thinks Billu is a liar, even his wife and children. In this film, though present with item songs and all kinds of charms, it is the superstar Shahrukh Khan; Irrfan has been much more brilliant in the role of Sadhasidha in simple dhoti-kurta. Reality and impenetrability have been perfectly portrayed in his performance.
Qarib Qarib Singlle:
This is a movie that Prem Ghatke Parra-type used to happen between two people of two poles. I feel Irrfan is a bit different here. In fact, all the characters he has done are different.
Piku:
Piku is especially loved by Bengalis. Story of a Bengali family, Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika hearing Bengali- though there was a difference in pronunciation, all Millaya Kemen Chena Chena story. The story of father and son and their side cutting becomes the main character and one character, of course—the sandwich between father and daughter is called Rana Chowdhury. Irfan Khan in this role, is restless but caring, humorous, and romantic with Deepika, a likable character.
Life in a Metro:
Ah! Strangely, my favorite character in this movie is Monty. I have watched the movie a couple of times and I am blown away by Monty every time. A simplistic character in a crowd of masked, selfish, and manipulative characters. Irrfan did not easily throw various simple confessions of Monty character. To me, normal Monty is a "wow" character.
The Namesake:
Irrfan Khan acted as a Bengali doctor in the film based on Jhumpa Lahiri's novel. Tabu was there too, though I thought that the couple of them would necessarily bring an effect into the movie, but I didn't like the movie that much. I had read the novel before; I did not get the pleasure of reading it while watching the movie.
Life of Pi:
If the young PI Patel drags down the entire movie, the older PI Patel Irrfan Khan rightly catches the eye of the audience because of his personality. Because of this movie, he was able to make himself more known in Hollywood.
Variety in the roles that Irrfan does, he can switch from one character to another easily. He did completely different levels in one character—these aren't given to the average reading artist. For this, it takes caliber, and Irrfan Khan had caliber.
His last film, Angrezi Medium, hasn't been seen, nor is there a curiosity to see it, because there is something. I don't like the Hindi medium. Traditional, time pass movies. "Dub" is the only movie he did in Bangladesh that I did not see.
Apart from Hindi films, Irrfan also acted in a large number of Hollywood English films. But all of the characters leave a mark on the minds of the audience. Among hundreds of characters we see on screen, only a few can be remembered by the audience. Some of the characters created by Irrfan would make the audience suddenly think of, and maybe heave that deep sigh for the untimely deceased actor. Such an accomplishment shall already be the most fitting accolade to any actor upon his passing away, from his audience.
