Akshay Kumar which also met success. His big brother role in
Pehchaan along with

Hum Hain Bemisaal with
Akshay Kumar done only average business. His four releases of 1995,
Surakshaa,
Raghuveer,
Gaddaar and
Takkar did average business and he played the anti hero for the first time in
Gaddaar and pitted against
