Ajay Devgan with Aishwarya Rai over the years

 


An underrated screen pairing; Ajay Devgan with Aishwarya Rai.

They have worked together in four films (primarily as co-stars, with Ajay often in a supporting or key role alongside her).

Movie Name
Year
Director
Verdict (Hit/Flop)
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
1999
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Blockbuster (one of the highest-grossing films of 1999)
Hum Kisise Kum Nahin
2002
David Dhawan
Average (performed average despite star cast)
Khakee
2004
Rajkumar Santoshi
Above Average (decent collections, multi-starrer action thriller)
Raincoat
2004
Rituparno Ghosh
Flop (critically acclaimed but poor box office)
Quick Notes:
  • Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was their biggest commercial success together. Ajay played the mature husband (Vanraj) to Aishwarya's Nandini, with Salman Khan as the love interest. It was a major hit with iconic music and performances.
  • The other three were multi-starrers or niche dramas where they shared screen time but weren't the only leads.
  • Raincoat is often praised as one of their best acting showcases (a subtle, emotional chamber drama), though it flopped commercially.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999)




Aishwarya Rai and Ajay Devgan in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). A bril film worth watching again, and again. And again.

These two were a surprisingly good match and did several films together, most memorably in Raincoat (2004) and Khakhee (2004)

Hum Kisise Kam Nahin (2002)





Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgan in Hum Kisise Kam Nahin.

This was shot just after Devdas and after her completely classic Indian look, she worked a modern persona for this rather God-awful film. Goes without saying she did look brilliant though.
