My Take

Jimmy Shergill is the kind of actor I end up praising in any conversation about Hindi cinema's supporting backbone. Since his debut in Maachis in 1996, he has moved between Hindi and Punjabi films with a quiet consistency that flashier stars rarely manage. What I value in him is restraint: he plays thwarted, dignified men better than almost anyone, often turning a stock role into the most memorable thing in the film. Nearly three decades in, he keeps working on the strength of craft alone, without scandal or self-mythology. Anyone exploring Indian cinema should keep his name handy; if he is in the cast, the film almost certainly has a pulse.
