His performance in the latter was praised for which he received his first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category as well as many other awards.

During the late 1980s, after his brief stint in politics, Bachchan's films became less and less successful. Many films did very poorly, such as Jaadugar and Toofan, both from 1989. In the early 1990s he regained some success with his power-packed performance in Agneepath and the following year in Hum which was a huge hit. Hum was mainly a hit because of its use of a popular song, "Jumma Chumma". However after more flops at the box office he took a break fron the film industry after 1992, his last film being Khuda Gawah, released that same year.
