In 2010, Kapoor reteamed with Ken Ghosh in "Chance Pe Dance", a comedy-drama about a struggling actor, in which Kapoor's performance was described as "uneven" by Aniruddha Guha of "Daily News and Analysis". He had a supporting role in "Paathshaala", a drama about the education system in India, starring Nana Patekar, following which he starred in Yash Raj Films' "Badmaash Company", a comedy-drama about a group of overambitious youngsters who become con men. Rachel Saltz of "The New York Times" praised Kapoor's look in the film, though Tushar Joshi of "Mid-Day" thought that he was miscast. Kapoor's fourth and final release that year was Satish Kaushik's romantic comedy "Milenge Milenge", which marked his fourth collaboration with Kareena Kapoor. Plagiarised from the Hollywood film "Serendipity", the production was delayed since 2005. During its production in December 2004 at Phuket, Kapoor requested a delay in filming to attend the premiere of "Dil Maange More". The delay may have saved the lives of the crew, since the hotel booked for them was destroyed during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. With the exception of Badmaash Company, none of these films performed well commercially.
