Rampal delivers one of his most acclaimed roles as Joe Mascarenhas, the lead guitarist of the rock band Magik.

2. Aankhen

This gripping heist thriller features Rampal as Arjun Verma, one of three blind men trained to execute an impossible bank robbery.

Rampal brings subtlety and sharpness to his role, contributing to the film’s high-tension narrative.
3. Om Shanti Om

A deeply intense performance from Rampal, Daddy recounts the real-life journey of Mumbai gangster-turned-politician Arun Gawli.

5. Dil Ka Rishta
