He gained recognition in Bollywood with Yash Chopra's drama Mashaal (1984) as a Tapori, for which he won his first Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actor category. His Tapori persona and stubble look was considered unconventional at the time, but would become fashionable in India many years later.[8] Kapoor's 1985 releases included Yudh and Saaheb. Yudh featured him uttering his iconic line "Ek Dum Jhakaas". But it was Meri Jung (1985), wherein he played the role of an angry young lawyer fighting for justice that gave him his 1st Filmfare best actor nomination. So all of Anil's films in 1985 were noticed and liked and he had truly arrived in the industry. Anil Kapoor played a comic Tapori again in Karma (1986), the biggest hit of the year.[9] Also in 1986, Kapoor played the role of a care free playboy in the hit Janbaaz, co-starring Feroz Khan.[10][11] Kapoor's other release of 1986 Insaaf Ki Awaaz with Rekha was a box office hit.[12] In the same year Basu Chatterjee directed Chameli Ki Shaadi and he displayed his crackling flare in comedy.[13] Anil Kapoor had a title role in Shekhar Kapur's sci-fi film Mr. India (1987), the biggest hit of the year.[14] The film became one of his biggest box office hits and shot him to superstar status.[15] Anil Kapoor was equally impressive in Mahesh Bhatt directed film Thikana.[16] In 1988 he was rewarded with his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in the film, Tezaab, the biggest blockbuster of 1988.[17] Anil proved to be the only saving grace even in flops like Ram-Avtar& " Vijay".[18] The following year he delivered Ram Lakhan (which became the second highest box office earner of 1989)[19] with the song One Two Ka Four. In the film Parinda, Kapoor played his role with conviction and his biggest achievement was displaying the vulnerability of his character so perfectly.[20] In Rakhwala Anil Kapoor again played the role of a Tapori, and the film was declared a success.[15][21] Kapoor excelled in his portrayal of an autistic person in the 1989 film, Eeshwar and this film proved his versatility as an actor.
