Bollywood is a place notorious for its competition. While entering the industry is challenging, establishing a place for yourself and succeeding is yet another, rather, even more daunting, whether you are linked to the industry by birth or not.
However, you must admit something about the Hindi film industry. True talent never goes unnoticed. No matter what, great talent and skills make their way through roadblocks and present themselves in front of the world.
Kiara Advani is one such talent.
An actress known for several bankable roles, Kiara Advani has carved herself a niche in the industry, emerging as one of the most successful actors so far in recent decades.
She started her career with Fugly in 2014 and appeared as a lead and parallel lead in various movies since then. Now, if you are a fan of this gorgeous Mumbai-born lady, this blog is for you. It talks about Kiara Advani and the ten best movies of her career so far.
1. MS Dhoni: The Untold Story
Released in 2016, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story is a biographical sports drama centered on the skipper of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The movie stars Sushant Singh Rajput, Disha Patani, and Kiara Advani in pivotal roles, with Sushant playing the titular role. Kiara, who enters the movie in the second half, plays the love interest and then the wife of MS Dhoni’s character.
Since the movie revolves around Rajput playing MS Dhoni, Kiara has little scope and opportunity to show her acting talent. Yet, she confidently showcases her limited role, whether as a hotel management student earlier or as Dhoni’s wife in the movie.
2. Bharat Ane Nenu
Bharat Ane Nenu is one of the handful of South Indian movies in which Advani has appeared so far. The movie also stars Mahesh Babu in a pivotal role.
It is set in the United Andhra Pradesh and tells the story of Bharat, an Oxford University student who returns to India following the demise of his father. Disappointed by the corruption in the system, he decides to change the situation after becoming the new CM.
Kiara plays Vasumathi, an MBA graduate, an UPSC aspirant interning at the CMO, and the love interest of Bharath. The movie also features Prakash Raj as the party president.
3. Kabir Singh
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is also known for big-budget films like Animal, Kabir Singh is the tale of the titular character played by Shahid Kapoor. Kiara Advani plays Dr. Preeti Singh, the role of his girlfriend who is forced to marry someone else.
Kabir Singh is a surgeon who drowns in alcohol after being forced to separate from his girlfriend. The movie depicts his struggles with his addictions and how he unites with Dr. Preet in the end. Kiara wonderfully complements the lead character, enhancing each scene she is in. The movie also stars Suresh Oberoi and Arjan Bajwa in supporting roles.
4. Good Newwz
Good Newwz, released in 2019, is a comedy film starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kiara Advani in lead roles. It is the story of two Batra couples trying to conceive and attempt IVF in pursuit of conception.
The same family name creates confusion and leads to a sperm mix-up in the clinic. As the movie unfolds, it showcases the comic journey of both couples, intersecting at each point during the 9-month period. It ends with an emotional, positive note, where both couples unite and understand the value of the happiness their children would bring to their lives.
5. Lust Stories
Lust Stories in 2018 marked a significant point in Advani’s career. It is an anthology film, comprising four short film segments, and an ensemble including Advani, Manisha Koirala, Radhika Apte, Bhumi Pednekar, Vicky Kaushal, Neha Dhupia, and Akash Thosar.
Kiara Advani plays the role of Megha, a young school teacher, who seeks sexual satisfaction from her husband but is deprived of it as the latter is inexperienced. Her frank portrayal of a dissatisfied woman was praised by critics.
6. Shershaah
Kiara Advani and Siddharth Malhotra are as much a hit couple in reel life as they are in real life. This is evident from the movie Shershaah, a biographical war film that revolves around the life of Vikram Batra, martyred during the Kargil War.
Vikram is portrayed by Siddharth Malhotra, and Kiara plays the role of Dimple, his girlfriend. They both want to marry, yet their different castes restrict them.
7. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
Bhool Bhulaiyaa, released in 2022, marked the entry of Advani in a different genre, proving her versatility as an actor.
In this movie, she plays the role of Reet Thakur, cast against Kartik Aaryan, who plays Ruhaan Randhawa. Reet plays the daughter of Thakur Vijender Singh (Milind Gunaji). She reluctantly agrees to marry someone but decides to leverage an adverse situation (a bus accident) and plays along with her family’s presumption about her demise.
8. Jugjugg Jeeyo
Jugjugg Jeeyo (2022) is a family comedy-drama film, which, along with Advani, stars Anil Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Manish Paul, and Prajakta Koli.
Kiara Advani plays the role of Nainaa Saini, who gets married to Kuldeep Saini (Dhawan). Naina is a highly confident, competent corporate professional who thrives in her career and gets an opportunity to work as a VP HR in New York.
She balances emotion, identity, and married life, and attempts to reconcile her professional growth with her troubled relationship. Advani plays a praiseworthy performance and portrays the emotional juggler Naina with ease and grace, being fully just to the emotional depth her character has in the movie.
9. Govinda Mera Naam
Govinda Mera Naam is a comedy thriller and crime drama that stars Vicky Kaushal (who plays Govinda Waghmare), his domineering wife Gauri, played by Bhumi Pednekar, and his secret girlfriend Suru, played by Kiara Advani.
The movie is about Govinda, fighting a legal battle over his bungalow valued in crores. Later, he gets embroiled in murder, and then the story unfolds, revealing the true colors and agenda of every character.
Kiara gracefully plays the role of Waghmare’s supportive, yet glamorous, charming, ambitious, and materialistic girlfriend. Her true character in the film drives a major twist in its story, making it an intriguing watch.
10. Toxic
Up for release on March 19, 2026, Toxic, reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 600 crore, is perhaps the biggest commercial release of Advani so far.
The movie is set against the backdrop of colonial Goa between the 1940s and 1970s. It is believed to be full of bullets flying, violence, crime, relationships, and complex characters.
While Yash, a Kannada actor, plays the lead, Kiara plays the role of Nadia. Not much is revealed about her role yet. But it is believed to be strong with a substantial value in the storyline.
So, that was about Kiara Advani and some of her top films so far. For someone of Kiara Advani’s age, the success she has achieved is absolutely phenomenal. The talented actor, who has done diverse roles throughout her career to date, surely has a promising future.
