Actress Parineeti Chopra has carved a significant niche for herself in the Indian film industry over the past thirteen years. Her career, marked by a blend of notable successes and occasional setbacks, showcases her resilience and adaptability in an ever-evolving cinematic landscape.
A Promising Start
Parineeti Chopra made her cinematic debut in 2011 with Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, a film that performed moderately well at the box office, amassing ₹32.97 crore. However, it was her subsequent role in Ishaqzaade, opposite Arjun Kapoor, that truly propelled her into the limelight. Released in 2012, this romantic drama received critical acclaim and turned into a commercial success, grossing ₹45.73 crore. The film not only highlighted her acting prowess but also featured a soundtrack that resonated widely with audiences, further cementing her status as a rising star.
Her momentum continued with the 2013 film Shuddh Desi Romance, which also garnered positive reviews and collected ₹46.60 crore. Although her 2014 film Hasee Toh Phasee was deemed average with a box office collection of ₹37.4 crore, Parineeti had already established herself as a versatile actress capable of handling diverse roles.
The Challenge of Flops
Despite her initial successes, Parineeti faced a challenging phase in her career with three consecutive flops: Daawat-e-Ishq, Kill Dil, and Meri Pyaari Bindu. These setbacks tested her resilience and commitment to her craft. Nevertheless, she rebounded spectacularly in 2017 with Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal Again, a blockbuster that grossed an impressive ₹205.69 crore. This film not only revived her career but also showcased her ability to thrive in ensemble casts.
Unfortunately, the following years saw her struggle with several underperforming films, including Namaste England, Jabariya Jodi, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar, Mission Raniganj, and Code Name: Tiranga. However, she found success again with Kesari and most recently with Amar Singh Chamkila, directed by Imtiaz Ali. Released on Netflix, Amar Singh Chamkila received considerable praise and affection from audiences, highlighting her capacity to deliver powerful performances.
A Personal Note
Recently, Parineeti has made headlines not only for her work but also for a notable change in her appearance, as she gained a noticeable amount of weight for her role in Amar Singh Chamkila. This decision underscores her dedication to her craft and willingness to embrace her characters fully.
