Chakraborty debuted as "Mimoh" with a lead role in the 2008 film
Jimmy, playing a
DJ, who is falsely accused of murder, which leads him into the crime world. The film was directed by
Raj N. Sippy and starred
Rahul Dev,
Shakti Kapoor and
Vivana Singh in key roles. The film received only negative reviews from critics and audiences and it was declared a
box-office bomb. Many viewers criticised acting skills of Mimoh. Film
journalist Patchy N from
Rediff.com wrote "In this day and age when debutants are well-groomed, trained in action, dance, and most importantly, dialogue, diction and acting, it's shocking that Mimoh Chakraborty looks so terribly unprepared". His next two releases after
Jimmy (2008) went unreleased namely
He- The Only One (2010) and
The Murderer- Hamilton Palace (2011). In the film
He- The Only One, he was paired opposite
Hansika Motwani. In 2011, his first release was
Haunted - 3D which was the first Indian stereo-scopic 3D horror film. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences and went onto become a commercial success. The
Times of India while giving it three stars out of five stated "if the film works -- and it works quite well -- is only because of the special effects of the film. Experiencing the horror in 3D is indeed a novel experience for the viewer, specially since it is smartly done." In his next release,
Loot, he plays a boy-next-door, who has been taken to
Pattaya to rob a house, although him and his crime-partners (
Govinda,
Suniel Shetty and
Jaaved Jaffrey) end up looting the wrong house.
Loot received mixed to negative reviews from most critics, and was a box office flop. After
Loot, he then starred in films like
Rocky (2013),
Enemmy (2013) and
Ishqedarriyaan (2015). All three were critically and commercially failed at the
box office. In 2021, he appeared in the biographical film
Main Mulayam Singh Yadav. He portrayed the role of
Shivpal Singh Yadav younger brother of
Mulayam Singh Yadav. He will be next seen in the thriller film titled
Rosh which is directed by Jayeveer Panghaal and also stars Nikita Soni. He has also been roped in
Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer film
Jogira Sara Ra Ra, directed by
Kushan Nandy. The film also stars
Sanjay Mishra and
Neha Sharma in key roles. ==Personal life==
