A Definitive Genre-Wise List Of Every Film Starring The Legendary Irrfan Khan

Irrfan is not with us anymore. The actor extraordinaire had every emotion in his quiver. He didn’t just play the character, he made it his own and delivered it with aplomb. Be it the docile uncle in Lunchbox or the revenge-thirsty dacoit in Paan Singh Tomar, he delivered these roles like no one could. There wasn’t any genre of cinema, that Irrfan didn’t do justice to.

Just check out his legacy with this genre-wise list of his films:
