From her debut alongside Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley to career breakthroughs with Aashiqui 2 and Stree, Shraddha Kapoor is one of Bollywood’s most popular actresses at the moment. While she more than often remains comfortable with mass-entertainers, she can often dabble in more serious dramas like Haider and Haseena Parkar.
If you wish to know more about Shraddha Kapoor’s filmography, we have got you covered with a guide that will take you through her greatest hits and all the options to stream them.
Aashiqui 2, ABCD 2, Stree and more: Which Shraddha Kapoor movies should I watch first?
While her father Shakti Kapoor is best-known for villainous and comedic roles in 80s and 90s Bollywood movies, Shraddha Kapoor sought to take the route of a lead in films. This started with her 2010 debut Teen Patti, a gambling-themed thriller with a stacked ensemble including Amitabh Bachchan, R Madhavan, and Gandhi actor Sir Ben Kingsley. While the movie makes for an interesting watch, Kapoor didn’t have much to do and the film remains largely forgotten.
Her true breakout role was in Aashiqui 2, the spiritual sequel to the hit 90s romantic musical Aashiqui and a remake of 1937’s A Star is Born. Paired alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, the actress played an upcoming singer who gets involved in a toxic romance as her fame increases. The blockbuster romance earned her extremely positive reviews along with her first Filmfare nomination.
A similarly tragic romance to watch is Ek Villain, a psychological thriller largely inspired by the South Korean action flick I Saw The Devil. Siddharth Malhotra plays a reformed criminal and Shraddha Kapoor stars as the woman who changes him. Kapoor shines yet again with her chirpy energy.
But if you want to watch her downplay her cheerfulness and adopt a darker persona, you must watch Haider. The former is an adaptation of Hamlet set in Kashmir, featuring impressive direction by Vishal Bhardwaj and a haunting performance by Shahid Kapoor. As for Shraddha Kapoor, she has a supporting but memorable role as his love interest (based after Ophelia in Shakespeare’s original play).
Some of Shraddha Kapoor’s best movies to watch also include the dance movies of the ABCD franchise. She joined the series as a competitive dancer in ABCD 2 and reunited with co-star Varun Dhawan in Street Dancer 3D.
Kapoor has also dabbled in the horror genre with impressive results, playing a charming witch in Stree. The first installment of the Dinesh Vijan Horror Comedy Universe, Stree boasted hilarious on-screen chemistry between her and Rajkumar Rao.
Talking about chemistry, other essential romances to watch include Ok Jaanu (alongside Aashiqui 2 star Aditya Roy Kapur) and the “anti-love” love story Tu Jhoothi Mai Makkaar (alongside Ranbir Kapoor).
Why is Aashiqui 2 the best Shraddha Kapoor movie to watch?
Aashiqui 2 arguably boasts the most emotional performance in Shraddha Kapoor’s career and is dramatic enough to make its tragic fairy tale impactful. And let’s not forget, the Arjit Singh and Mithoon-driven soundtrack remains one of modern Bollywood’s best albums.
