Deepika Padukone Bollywood Movies and IMDB Scores
Born in Copenhagen and raised in Bangalore, Deepika Padukone is one of the most highly paid and influential Indian actors working today. Her roles in predominantly Hindi films and range of acting skills have garnered her three Filmfare Awards and a listing in Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world in 2018.
Deepika Padukone’s first movie, Aishwarya, debuted in 2006 and introduced the world to an actor with a wide range of onscreen skills. Today, she has an impressive catalogue of work ranging from rom-coms to thrillers. But which are the best Deepika Padukone movies of all time? Here is our list of the top ten Deepika Padukone movies and IMDB scores.
Piku – 2015 – 7.6
When a daughter's ageing father starts to develop eccentricities that others find baffling, annoying and just plain weird, a road trip is probably the last thing she needs. But along the way, she discovers a new side to her relationship with her father and learns more about herself too. It's a heartwarming, quirky, well-acted film with far more depth than the average comedy—definitely a favourite and worth including on any Deepika Padukone movies list.
Tamasha – 2015 – 7.4
When you meet someone for the first time, what happens when, rather than telling them all about yourself, you keep your real identity a secret? Tamasha takes us on a journey of emotions when an individual who doesn't conform to society's expectations embraces an entirely different persona. Can the new love in his life help him find his true self once more? A surprisingly inspiring film that is well-acted with plenty of light comedy moments. It's no surprise that this addition to our Deepika Padukone filmography has won multiple awards.
Bajirao Mastani – 2015 – 7.2
Indian history is filled with warriors. Bajirao was one of the greatest, with more than 40 battle victories to his name. A brilliant strategist and ferocious fighter, Bajirao was one of the greatest cavalry leaders in Indian history. But he was also a man who fell in love with a famous warrior Princess Mastani. While comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, the two become passionately involved in a powerful love story that cannot be broken, even by war or death. A sweeping cinematographic experience that deserves a place on any must-watch film list.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 2013 0 7.2
When you come to a pivotal moment in your life, a single decision can send you on a completely different path. This inclusion in our list of the best Deepika Padukone films examines what happens when two people who take separate journeys through life meet up again years later. How have they changed, if at all? And is the spark still there? Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani looks at how two very different characters grow and develop, and whether they can rekindle their love for one another.
Padmaavat – 2018 – 7.1
One of the best Deepika Padukone movies ever to grace the screen, this magnificent historical epic tells the story of a 13th-century Princess who falls in love with an already-married King. While everything seems perfect for a while, word of her beauty has reached a rival king, who is determined not only to take her for his own but also the riches that surround her. A story of betrayal, passion and intrigue set against a truly dazzling background.
Love Aaj Kal – 2009 – 6.8
Does love change through the ages, or is it a timeless concept? Love Aaj Kal is a heartwarming yet surprisingly deep look at this idea as a man who firmly believes in love tells his tale to a young man who has just had his heart broken. The film looks at the true nature of love and whether two people who travel to opposite sides of the world can be reunited once again.
Om Shanti Om – 2007 – 6.8
Om Shanti Om is an interesting concept. Initially, it appears to be a simple love story, but this lively and colourful movie takes the theme of reincarnation as its driving force. Om, a wannabe actor, is murdered but immediately reincarnated. However, 40 years have passed and as well as trying to cope with the culture shock of a very different world, he also has to try and find out who murdered him and why, as well as finding his former sweetheart Shanti, played by Deepika Padukone.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela – 2013 – 6.4
The eternal tale, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-leela is a modern take on Romeo and Juliet but with a distinctive Bollywood reworking. While the sets may be extravagant and the visual presentation a feast for the eyes, at its heart this is still the classic story that resonates down the ages of two young people from opposite sides of the divide falling in love.
Cocktail – 2012 – 6.3
Three very different individuals, Gautam Khanna (Saif Ali Khan), Veronica D'Costa (Deepika Padukone) and Meera Gupta (Diana Penty), become entangled in a love triangle that becomes increasingly complicated as more characters are introduced into the mix. Cocktail examines how different personalities attract, while rivalry can bring out the best and worst in individuals. Will true love ever prevail in such a complex situation? Cocktail allows Deepika to really show her range as an actor and is one of the best Deepika Padukone movies of all time.
Chennai Express – 2013 – 6.1
This multi-award-winning film is a comedy-drama that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. When a man sets out on a long train journey, he finds himself in hot water when a beautiful and sassy woman walks into his life. What he doesn’t realise is that she is the daughter of a crime don, and there are plenty of heavily armed henchmen who want to see her, and now our hero, dead. Chennai Express keeps the action piled on, along with some wonderfully funny and light moments to create a well-balanced and thoroughly enjoyable film.
