For "Tere Naam", (2003) Taran Adarsh said of him, "Salman Khan is exceptional in a role that fits him to the T. He breathes fire in sequences that demand uneasiness. But beneath the tough exterior lies a vulnerable person and this facet in particular comes to the fore in the latter reels. His emotional outbursts are splendid..." Director Satish Kaushik considered Khan's work in the film to be strong, saying of it, "Salman has given a great performance in the film. He"s given an intense, unconventional performance. I believe this is the best performance of Salman"s career so far." He continued his career with comedies like "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" (2004) and "No Entry" "(2005)".
