Later that year, Khanna starred in [[J. P. Dutta]]'s war drama ''[[Border (1997 film)|Border]]'' alongside [[Sunny Deol]], [[Suniel Shetty]], and [[Jackie Shroff]]. Set during the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1971]], the film was about the events of the [[Battle of Longewala]] and saw Khanna play the real-life role of Dharamvir Singh Bhan, a commander who is also a part of the battle.

Khanna's final film that year was Lateef Binnu's star-crossed romance ''[[Dahek]]'' in which he featured opposite [[Sonali Bendre]] as a [[Hindu]] boy who falls in love with a [[Muslim]] girl played by Bendre. The film proved to be a box office disappointment.<ref>[[Dahek]]</ref>

=== Critical recognition (2001–02) ===

After a two-year absence from full-time acting, Khanna appeared in [[Farhan Akhtar]]'s coming-of-age comedy-drama ''[[Dil Chahta Hai]]'' (2001) alongside [[Aamir Khan]], [[Saif Ali Khan]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Sonali Kulkarni]] and [[Dimple Kapadia]].

''Dil Chahta Hai'' won the [[National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi]] and seven Filmfare Awards, including a Best Supporting Actor trophy for Khanna.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=Akshaye Khanna: Movies, Photos, Videos, News, Biography & Birthday {{!}} eTimes|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Akshaye-Khanna|access-date=20 September 2020|website=The Times of India|archive-date=15 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180115033020/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Akshaye-Khanna|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Expansion into romantic comedies (2003–04) ===
In 2003, Khanna starred as an electronic salesman in Priyadarshan's romantic comedy ''[[Hungama (2003 film)|Hungama]]'', co-starring [[Rimi Sen]], [[Paresh Rawal]], and [[Aftab Shivdasani]]. The feature became a box office hit with earnings of {{INRConvert|202|m}} despite a mixed critical reception. He next reunited with J. P.

The film proved to be a box-office hit.<ref>{{cite web |title=अक्षय खन्ना के लिए गया था करिश्मा कपूर का रिश्ता, इसलिए बिगड़ी बात |url=https://www.aajtak.in/entertainment/story/bollywood-actor-akshaye-khanna-birthday-love-story-love-affairs-film-tmov-648478-2019-03-28 |access-date=20 September 2020 |website=Aaj Tak |date=28 March 2019 |language=hi}}</ref>
=== Career decline (2006–07) ===
After a year-long absence, Khanna appeared in three films in 2006—the first of which was [[Satish Kaushik]]'s comedy-drama ''[[Shaadi Se Pehle]]'', co-starring [[Suniel Shetty]], [[Aftab Shivdasani]], [[Ayesha Takia]] and [[Mallika Sherawat]].

Directed by Abbas–Mustan, the film featured him as a police officer, and proved to be a financial success with earnings of over {{INRConvert|369|m}} worldwide.

Khanna's final film release that year was [[Dharmesh Darshan]]'s romantic comedy ''[[Aap Ki Khatir (2006 film)|Aap Ki Khatir]]'' alongside [[Priyanka Chopra]], [[Ameesha Patel]], [[Suniel Shetty]], and [[Anupam Kher]]. It proved to be one of the year's biggest flops.<ref>{{cite web |title=Exclusive biography of #AkshayeKhanna and on his life. |url=https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/akshaye-khanna/biography.html |access-date=20 September 2020 |website=FilmiBeat |language=en |archive-date=19 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170319200005/http://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/akshaye-khanna/biography.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2007, Akshaye Khanna acted in [[Nikkhil Advani]]'s ensemble drama ''[[Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love]]'', a romantic comedy consisting of six chapters. He was featured in the first and second chapter opposite [[Ayesha Takia]]. The film received negative reviews from critics and emerged as a major commercial disappointment.

His next appearance was in Abbas–Mustan's love-saga ''[[Naqaab (2007 film)|Naqaab]]'', in which he starred as Vicky Malhotra, an unemployed film personality, alongside [[Bobby Deol]] and [[Urvashi Sharma]]. The feature received positive reviews from audiences but turned out to be an average grosser.
Khanna then took a leading role in [[Feroz Abbas Khan]]'s adaptation of the novel ''Mahatma vs Gandhi'', entitled ''[[Gandhi, My Father]]'', co-starring [[Darshan Jariwala]], [[Bhumika Chawla]], and [[Shefali Shah]]. The feature explores the relationship between freedom fighter [[Mahatma Gandhi]] (played by Jariwala) and his eldest son [[Harilal Gandhi]] (played by Khanna).

=== Establishing, other setbacks, and sabbatical (2008–12) ===
Khanna's performance in the Abbas–Mustan-directed action thriller ''[[Race (2008 film)|Race]]'' (2008) marked a turning point in his career.

''Race'', despite receiving negative reviews, proved to be one of the highest-grossing films of that year with a worldwide revenue of over {{INRConvert|1|b}}, becoming Khanna's highest-grossing release to that point, and his performance earned him Best Performance in a Negative Role awards at major award functions, including IIFA and [[Screen Award for Best Actor in a Negative Role|Screen]]. The success of the film established Khanna as one of the reliable actors of the Hindi film industry. For his final release of 2008, he reunited with Priyadarshan in the comedy ''[[Mere Baap Pehle Aap]]'', co-starring [[Paresh Rawal]], [[Genelia D'Souza]], and [[Archana Puran Singh]].
