Career

Main article: Kajal Aggarwal filmography

Film debut and struggles (2004–08)

Aggarwal made her acting debut in the 2004 Bollywood film Kyun! Ho Gaya Na..., in which she had a minor supporting role.[20][21]

Aggarwal made her debut in Telugu and played her first leading role in 2007 in Teja's Lakshmi Kalyanam, alongside Kalyan Ram; it did not fare well at the box office. Later that year, she appeared in the Krishna Vamsi-directed Chandamama, which opened to positive reviews and became her first major successful film.[22] In 2008, she had her first Tamil film release, Perarasu's action entertainer Pazhani, opposite Bharath. She had one more Tamil release that year with Venkat Prabhu's comedy-thriller Saroja, in which she did a guest appearance. Although the film went on to become a commercial as well as a critical success,[23] the film failed to boost her career as her role was too insignificant.[24] Her Telugu releases Pourudu and Aatadista opposite Sumanth and Nitin, respectively, did not receive positive reviews, but both were successful at the box office.[citation needed]

Public recognition and critical acclaim (2009–11)

Aggarwal had four releases in 2009. She first starred opposite Vinay Rai in the Tamil film Modhi Vilayadu, which garnered mixed reviews and was a financial failure. She then appeared in the high budget Telugu historical drama Magadheera, alongside Ram Charan Teja, which saw her playing double roles for the first time. The film, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, received overwhelming critical acclaim, while Aggarwal, in particular, was praised for her portrayal of a princess. Aggarwal was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress in Telugu and nominated for the award for Best Telugu Actress in the South Scope Awards for her performance.[citation needed] It was highly successful commercially and broke several records,[25] emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film of all time.[26][27][28] Magadheera's success turned Aggarwal into one of the most sought-after actresses in Telugu cinema.[29] It was released again in Tamil as Maaveeran in 2011, and was also successful at the box office.[30] Her subsequent releases Ganesh Just Ganesh, opposite Ram and Arya 2 opposite Allu Arjun received mixed reviews from critics, while her performance garnered positive feedback.[31][32]

Aggarwal's first 2010 release was A. Karunakaran's romantic comedy Darling, which featured her alongside Prabhas and received a favourable response, becoming a commercial success at the box office,[33] with Kajal receiving her second Filmfare nomination for Best Actress. Later that year, Aggarwal appeared in the Tamil thriller film Naan Mahaan Alla, opposite Karthi, which was based on a real-life incident and opened to positive reviews.[34] It was a box office success. The chemistry between Karthi and Aggarwal was widely praised.[citation needed] It was later dubbed in Telugu as Naa Peru Siva in Andhra Pradesh and was a success.[35] Aggarwal's final release in 2010 was another romantic comedy Brindavanam opposite Jr. NTR and Samantha, which received critical acclaim and went on to become a commercial success,[36] while fetching Aggarwal the CineMAA Award for Best Actress.

In 2011, Aggarwal was paired with Prabhas for the second time in the romantic comedy Mr. Perfect, directed by Dasaradh. The film became a critical and commercial success. Aggarwal's performance as a conservative doctor and her chemistry with Prabhas was praised by critics.[37][38] Aggarwal received her third Filmfare nomination for Best Actress in Telugu for her performance.[39] In May, she appeared in Veera, replacing Anushka Shetty[40] and starring opposite Ravi Teja for the first time.[41] The film received moderate reviews.[42]

In July that year, Aggarwal made her Bollywood comeback after seven years with a leading role in the police story Singham, a remake of the same-titled 2010 Tamil film, opposite Ajay Devgn.[43][44] It received mixed reviews from critics,[45] as did her portrayal of a Goan girl Kavya Bhosle, with critics stating that Aggarwal had not much to offer in the hero-centric film. Komal Nahta noted that "Kaajal Aggarwal acts with effortless ease. Her performance is good",[46] while Filmfare wrote that "Kajal who looks pretty and has done what she has been told to, but probably deserved a meatier debut".[47] Nevertheless, the film was a hit at the box office.[10] She was nominated for two awards for her performance: the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut and the Zee Cine Award for Best Female Debut. Aggarwal finished 2011 with the Telugu film Dhada, opposite Naga Chaitanya, which failed at the box office.[citation needed]

Commercial success (2012–14)

In early 2012, Aggarwal appeared in the Telugu gangster film Businessman, alongside Mahesh Babu, directed by Puri Jagannadh. A Sankranthi release, it opened to positive reviews and was a commercial success.[48][49] Aggarwal's performance, though limited, was praised by critics.[50]

Aggarwal made a comeback to Tamil cinema later that year with two high-profile action flicks. The first was Maattrraan, directed by K. V. Anand and starring Suriya. The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Her performance was well received; a review carried by The Indian Express summarised: "Kajal does with utmost sincerity as the foreign language translator Anjali. It's this trait and her graceful demeanour which makes Kajal a pleasant watch".[51]

I prefer Telugu film industry as women are respected more than they are in the Tamil film industry. In Tamil cinema, they care only about their hero. Of course, I don't give a shit and go and sit in my van

Aggarwal about the difference she felt between Telugu and Tamil industry.[52]

The second was A. R. Murugadoss's Thuppakki, starring Vijay, in which she played a boxer. It received mostly positive reviews from the critics and was a major commercial success, becoming the second Tamil film ever to collect over ₹1 billion (US$13 million).[53] Her final release in 2012 was the Telugu romance film Sarocharu, opposite Ravi Teja for the second time.[54] Although her performance was praised by critics, the film received poor reviews and did below-average business at the box office.[55]

In early 2013, Aggarwal starred in V. V. Vinayak's action film Naayak, opposite Ram Charan Teja and Amala Paul.[56] Upon release, it received positive reviews and was a major commercial success.[57] Also that year, she starred in the Hindi film Special 26, a heist drama directed by Neeraj Pandey. It went on to be a major critical and commercial success.[citation needed]

She later appeared in Srinu Vaitla's Baadshah, opposite Jr. NTR for the second time in her career. Upon its release, critics appreciated her performance. The Times of India commented: "Kajal is as usual an eye-candy. She's got a good role and has done justice to her performance. Also she looks stunning in the songs."[58] The film was a financial success.[59] Her final release in 2013 was All in All Azhagu Raja, opposite Karthi, which released on Diwali to negative reviews from critics.[citation needed]

In early 2014, Aggarwal starred in R. T. Neason's masala film Jilla, in which she played a police officer.

Aggarwal's first release of 2015 was in the Telugu action film Temper, directed by Puri Jagannadh, alongside NTR Jr. The film received positive responses from critics and was a commercial success at the box office.[citation needed] Aggarwal played an animal lover and on her performance, a critic from The Times of India said: "Despite her limited role, the actress does well".[62]

Next, she featured in two Tamil films, working with industry-leading actors and directors. In July 2015 she was seen as an entrepreneur in Balaji Mohan's gangster comedy film Maari, opposite Dhanush. Critics rated it as a "regular masala movie" and Rediff noted: "Kajal Aggarwal does have a significant role to play, but their onscreen chemistry just does not work".[63] The film became a commercial success.[64] Her other release, Suseenthiran's action film Paayum Puli, alongside Vishal, received mixed reviews and failed at the box office.[citation needed] Reviewers criticised her character stating: "badly written and has nothing more to do with the script"[65] She also did a cameo appearance in the bilingual romantic comedy film Size Zero.

Critical reaction of the film was mixed to negative, though Aggarwal's performance was positive.
