The narrative, which has been lauded globally and nationally, including winning an Oscar for Best Original Song, sets Alia as a linchpin in the heart-wrenching tale of two revolutionary leaders.
Next on the list is the fantasy-adventure spectacle “Brahmastra Part One: Shiva,” available on Disney+ Hotstar. Alia crosses into the realm of superheroes as Isha, discovering her significance in a world brimming with mystique and supernatural forces. Sharing the screen with Ranbir Kapoor, her now husband, the duo’s chemistry is palpable in a movie that captivated the audience with its VFX grandeur, becoming one of the top-grossing hits of 2022.
The action-thriller saga continues with “Sadak 2,” a film found on Disney+ Hotstar, which marks the return of Mahesh Bhatt as a director. It serves as a sequel to the 1991 classic, intertwining themes of vengeance and salvation while putting Alia at the forefront as the compelling protagonist Aarya, who seeks justice for her mother’s death.
On Amazon Prime Video, viewers can delight in “Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,” a modern romantic comedy directed by celebrated filmmaker Karan Johar.

The film’s appeal has earned Alia critical acclaim and multiple accolades for Best Actress.
Arguably her most striking role to date, Alia Bhatt’s portrayal of Gangubai in “Gangubai Kathiawadi” on Netflix demonstrates her calibre as an actor.
