In the year 2000, Bachchan began his career with J.P. Dutta's Refugee which also marked the debut of another actress Kareena Kapoor. His performance was described as his "strengths lie in his intense eyes and inherited baritone" by critics and the film performed not very well at the box office and was the fifth highest grossing film of that year. Bachchan went on to do other films, including Shararat and Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai, which were box office failures.
Bachchan went on to give a string of seventeen poorly received films but his performances in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003) and Mani Ratnam's Yuva (2004) proved his mettle as an actor. In 2004, he starred in Dhoom along with John Abraham and this was a commercial hit. Earning over Rs. 550 million (US$12 million), the film became one of the top-grossing Indian films of 2004.

His performance in the film earned him his third consecutive award for Best Supporting Actor at the Filmfare Awards. Bachchan's second release Umrao Jaan was a box offiice flop and his third film that year, Dhoom 2, did very well—although, as in the first Dhoom, critics noted that Hrithik Roshan, as the antagonist, stole the show.
