Alia Bhatt has turned a year older today, and well, wiser too, but what we’ve got to appreciate about her the most, is the trajectory she found for herself in her career. From a debut with a film like Student Of The Year’ to managing to do films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Highway, among others, she’s come a long way.
On Alia Bhatt’s birthday today, let’s look at 5 of her top performances that have stayed with everyone who has ever watched her movies.
Highway
A performance of Alia Bhatt that actually pretty much changed everything for her, because this was the first time we saw her do something starkly different and ace it. She managed to perform every single role to the T, and it was never not a good performance from her.
Dear Zindagi
One of Alia Bhatt’s all-time best and heartiest roles, because she did a fab job in this story about love, life and beyond. Of course, we can’t take away from Shah Rukh Khan’s performance, but Alia did prove here how she can actually ace those feelings, and the vibe and easily fit the characters she is asked to.
Raazi
Another performance that elevated Alia Bhatt’s filmography, has to be Raazi. While Vicky Kaushal was the lead opposite her, this film was an Alia movie all the way, along with the writers and makers, of course. From the viral dialogue that became a meme too to the songs and of course, Alia’s performance, everything about this movie was a hit.

Gangubai Kathiawadi
Alia Bhatt’s filmography has only grown over the years, not just in numbers, but also in quality, and this movie was the absolute top of that. Sanjay Leela Bhansali can only make one act so much, but the rest does lie on the stars, and Alia’s finesse only proved how she is an impeccable actor, artist, and performance – all in one.
Darlings
I was in two minds about whether to add Jigra here or Darlings, but I went ahead with the latter because of its purpose and the social issue it touched upon. When big celebrities decide to talk about such things through films and live up to it, without making it anything about just surface-level stuff, is when we know our films are doing well, and this was one such movie.
That was our top 5, which one’s your favourite?
