3. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Karan Johar reunited with Alia Bhatt for this larger-than-life romantic drama, pairing her with Ranveer Singh. The film also stars veterans Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi. While Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is one of Alia’s highest-grossing films, its massive budget prevented it from being a blockbuster. The movie is streaming on Prime Video.
2. Brahmāstra – Part One: Shiva

Ayan Mukerji’s fantasy adventure marked the first full-fledged pairing of Alia Bhatt with her now-husband Ranbir Kapoor (excluding her cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil). Despite grossing INR 257.44 crore in India, the film’s mega budget made it an underperformer. While the movie showcased Alia in a relatively weaker role, it remains a visual spectacle. Brahmāstra – Part One: Shiva is streaming on JioHotstar.

Alia Bhatt’s first non-Hindi film was nothing short of monumental. Though her role was brief, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus became one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated action dramas, featuring stellar performances from Ram Charan and Jr NTR. The film not only made history at the box office but also became the first Indian feature film to win an Oscar (for Best Original Song). RRR is streaming on Netflix, JioHotstar, and Zee5.
Despite being married to Ranbir Kapoor and a mother to Raha, Alia Bhatt has not let marriage or motherhood slow her career. She is set to star in the spy thriller Alpha, joining the YRF Spy Universe alongside Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir, and Salman Khan’s Tiger. Additionally, she will reunite with Ranbir Kapoor and star alongside Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War.
