Manjhi: The Mountain Man
The movie is critically acclaimed and so is Nawaz’s powerful powerful performance. Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the character of Dashrath Manjhi. He was a poor man from the lowest of the low castes.

Gangs Of Wasseypur 2
This movie remains a cult favourite among the masses. The raw and effortless portrayal of Faizal Khan by Nawazuddin Siddiqui remains etched in our hearts. The revenge saga continues to inspire modern lingo and references in India. His chemistry with Huma Qureshi and ultimate songs took the movie to new levels altogether.

But Nawaz’s rocking performance added the real charm to this movie. No one could have imagined the movie without Nawaz portraying the character of Faizal.
Manto
This is another gem in Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s career. The film follows the most tumultuous four years in the life of Manto. Also, that of the two countries he inhabits – India and Pakistan. In Bombay’s seedy-shiny film world, Manto and his stories are widely read and accepted. But as sectarian violence engulfs the nation, Manto makes the difficult choice of leaving his beloved Bombay. In Lahore, he finds himself bereft of friends and unable to find takers for his writings. His increasing alcoholism leads him into a downward spiral. Through all of this, he continues to write prolifically, without dilution. This is the tale of two emerging nations, two faltering cities, and one man who tries to make sense of it all. (IMDb)Â
Thackeray
Babasaheb Thackrey believes that Marathi people don’t have any respect and are made to do all odd works. With a few people, he starts to help the needy and gains respect. To fight for the rights he also goes against the law and comes in the eye of politics. After entering politics he starts his own party named after Shivaji Maharaj as Shiv Sena. He provides Marathi Manoos with his equal rights. His only wish is that one day the Chief Minister of Maharashtra should be a Marathi Manoos. This is splendid work by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. (IMDb)Â
