1. Ankhon Dekhi
Year – 2013
IMDb – 8/10
I was glued on the seat for exactly two hours of the movie. What a masterpiece it was. He adds emotional touch to the movie and even wins Best Actor at the Filmfare. He, being the central character in the movie follows a rule of “Ankhon Dekhi”. He believes the stuff he sees from his own eyes. This policy comes out as an enlightenment to the movie. The movie shows the complications occurring in the daughter-father relationship. The movie also pose a question on existentialism. Sanjay Mishra’s work as Bauji is beyond praise.
2. Kaamyaab
Year – 2018
IMDb – 8.1/10
The movie Kaamyaab is different from all the other movies of Sanjay Mishra. This one will always remain close to his heart as the movie is nothing more but his own life. The lead role is played by Sanjay Mishra, who wants to surprise audience by his comeback in the film industry in order to complete a record of performing in 500 movies. The movie showcases the hard story of side-actors who had been wiped out from the movies. Sanjay Mishra as Sudheer is fab. He makes us emotional and our hearts to cry. The movie without the side actors will always remain incomplete. It is a tribute to many actors of the Hindi Cinema.

IMDb – 7.3/10
Another comedy movie where we see Sanjay Mishra as a thief who threatens one of the protagonists of the movie. The story of the movie is different where Roy, the protagonist ditches Sanjay Mishra and other people to own the treasure themselves. His dialogues and body language is filled with humour. He performs a supporting role but gets enough attention due to his talent and presence in the movie. Audience become the fan of his actions and deportment. Watch this movie if you haven’t already.
5. Phas gaye re Obama
Year – 2010
IMDb – 7.5/10
The movie highlights an issue of recession of 2009 in US and then it also came down to India. The movie shows a contradictory view that Obama, being a skilled Prime Minister is unable to control such a situation. The role of Sanjay Mishra is of a gangster who kidnaps an NRI with a dream of making money. The movie on a whole presents the scene of crime and punishment with the use of dramatic Hindi language, puns on Obama’s speech –“Yes, We can” and humour created through the use of English language. Sanjay Mishra is greatly appreciated for his humoristic approach.
5. Dum Laga k Haisha
Year – 2015
IMDb – 7.5/10
Chandra Prakash Tiwari in Dum Laga K Haisha portrays a figure of a true Indian father who is tensed because of his son’s marriage. His role can be seen everywhere in India and it is one of the reasons why people have liked Sanjay Mishra a lot. Without his charm, the movie would have not been this successful. In spite of his role as a strict father, he doesn’t fail to surprise us through his talent in comedy. His presence on the screen is unique and exclusive.

Jolly LLB is a legal, comedy movie. Sanjay Mishra is the one adding pieces of comedy in the movie, thus making it light. Though Sanjay Mishra is not a lead in the movie, his performance is impactful.
