Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
Outlandish, glorious, hammy and hilarious — Poo remains one of Kareena’s most memorable roles even 24 years later, leaving strong imprint on a whole generation of Bollywood fans.
Chameli
Admist a slew of commercial entertainers, Kareena always made space for an off-beat experimental role — Chameli, one of her earliest such attempts, remains a landmark performance for the same reasons
Omkara
Holding her own amidst a stellar cast, Kareena left an indelible mark on viewers, capturing Dolly's romance and innocence that finds itself lost in a land brimming with violence, power games and betrayal.
Jab We Met
This Imtiaz Ali film that changed the course of contemporary Hindi film romance, and Kareena established herself as a bonafide star, making Geet one of the most iconic female protagonists of Hindi cinema ever
Talaash
Kareena’s second decade in the industry reflected a greater penchant for experimentation and adapting with the times. Her portrayal of Rosy/Simran in Talaash is enigmatic, haunting and poignant at once.
Udta Punjab
This gritty film on Punjab’s drugs problem also works as an amazing showcase of how well Kareena could tune her performance to a film’s metre, seamlessly blending with its earthiness and realism.
Laal Singh Chaddha
While Aamir Khan played the titular role, it was Rupa that was the emotional core of the film, and Kareena arguably outshone her co-star (and everyone else) with her subdued yet searing portrayal of Rupa.
