Kareena Kapoor's Acting Career
Kareena Kapoor made her debut in 2000 in J.P. Dutta's war drama Refugee. Her debut performance was acclaimed by critics; Refugee was the fifth-highest grossing film in India in 2000, and Kapoor's performance earned her the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award.
Kapoor's first role in 2001 was in the romantic drama Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, which became one of the highest earners of the year. She next starred in Subhash Ghai's family drama Yaadein. Kapoor then appeared in the Abbas-Mustan thriller Ajnabee.
Later in the year, she starred in Santosh Sivan's period epic Asoka, a partly fictionalized account of the life of Ashoka the Great. The film had a strong release in the United Kingdom and North America. It was also screened at the Venice Film Festival and the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival. Her performance was praised by some critics and earned her a first nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards.
Kapoor's final release of 2001 was the drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, directed by Karan Johar. The film, emerged as the second-highest-grossing film of the year in India and Kapoor's biggest commercial success, with a domestic total of Rs 490 million (US$ 10.93 million). It also performed well internationally and became India's fourth biggest Bollywood success of all time in the overseas market, earning over Rs 350 million (US$ 7.81 million). Her performance as "Poo" was well-received by critics and earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress nomination.
During 2002 and 2003, Kapoor featured in six films — Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Jeena Sirf Merre Liye, Talaash: The Hunt Begins..., Khushi, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, and the four-hour war epic LOC Kargil — all of which proved critically and commercially unsuccessful in India.
Under the direction of Sudhir Mishra, Kapoor played a prostitute in Chameli. Chameli received predominantly positive reviews and Kapoor's performance was generally well-received by critics. Nonetheless, Kapoor's performance garnered her the Filmfare Special Performance Award and marked a change in direction in her career as an actress.
Kapoor then appeared in Govind Nihalani's critically acclaimed film Dev, which revolved around the 2002 Hindu-Muslim riots in the Indian state of Gujarat. The film earned her a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance, as well as nominations for Best Actress at various award ceremonies.
Shortly afterwards, she was cast for the first time as a villain in the thriller. The film explores Internet theft and the Mumbai underworld. Although it failed commercially, Kapoor received positive reviews for her performance, with some critics noting a distinct progression from her earlier roles. Her subsequent releases that year included Abbas-Mustan's moderately successful thriller Aitraaz and Priyadarshan's comedy Hulchul, her first box office success since 2002.

In 2007, Kapoor starred in Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy Jab We Met.
