Kareena Debut in Bollywood

Bebo was initially scheduled to make her debut in Rakesh Roshan's Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), opposite his son, Hrithik Roshan. However, several days into the filming, she abandoned the project and later explained that, "It was probably destined that I was not to be in the film. After all, it was a launch for his son. The whole focus was on the boy. Now I am glad I did not do the movie."

After turning down Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Bebo made her acting debut later that same year in J.P. Dutta's war drama Refugee, opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Set during the Indo-Pakistani conflicts, the film centers on a young man known simply as Refugee (played by Abishek). Kareena portrayed the role of Naaz, a Bangladeshi girl who falls in love with him while migrating to Pakistan. Her performance was acclaimed by critics; Taran Adarsh of indiaFM wrote, "Kareena Kapoor has a magnetic personality, which will make the viewer fall in love with her instantly. What surprises you is the ease with which she emotes the most difficult of scenes. There's no denying the fact that she is a natural performer who is very camera friendly." Bebo's performance earned her the Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, and Refugee went on to become the fifth-highest grossing film of the year.

After First film

In 2001, Kareena starred opposite Tusshar Kapoor in Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai, a romantic drama film directed by Satish Kaushik. Revolving around the story about a troubled young man who falls in love with Pooja, played by Kareena, the film went on to become one of the highest earners of the year. However, subsequent releases such as Yaadein and Ajnabee that followed for Kapoor did indifferent business at the box office.





Later that year, she starred in Santosh Sivan's period epic Asoka, a partly fictionalized account of the life of Ashoka the film had a strong international release, including a screening 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.
Kareena as "Poo" in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), her biggest commercial success.
Her performance as "Poo" was well received by critics, and earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress nomination.


During 2002 and 2003, Kareena experienced a slump in her career. She featured in six films in total—Mujhse Dosti Karoge! and Jeena Sirf Merre Liye in 2002, and Talaash: The Hunt Begins..., Khushi, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and the four hour J.P. Dutta war epic LOC Kargil in 2003—all of which proved critically and commercially unsuccessful in India. Yash Raj Films' Mujhse Dosti Karoge, directed by Kunal Kohli on his debut, was a film with high public anticipation, is also a flop. Another film during this period was Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon, which released the following year, also perform poorly at the box office.


Turning point of Kareena career

Following the negative period in Bebo's career, 2004 marked the beginning of her work in more serious films, most of which would bring her critical acclaim rather than commercial success. Under the direction of Sudhir Mishra, Kapoor played a prostitute in Chameli opposite Rahul Bose, which takes the name of her central character. The film garnered predominantly positive reviews and Kapoor's portrayal earned her the Filmfare Special Performance Award.

Kareena then appeared opposite Amitabh Bachchan and Fardeen Khan in Govind Nihalani's critically acclaimed Dev, a film which featured her as a vocalist for a song for the first time in her career. Bebo's role was that of a middle-class Muslim girl named Aaliya who falls victim to the riots. For her performance, she earned a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance, as well as nominations for Best Actress at various award ceremonies.

Shortly after that, Kapoor was cast in her first uncivil role in the thriller Fida opposite Shahid Kapoor and Fardeen Khan. The film failed at the box office, Kapoor received positive reviews for her performance. Her subsequent releases that year included Abbas-Mustan's moderately successful thriller Aitraaz and Priyadarshan's comedy Hulchul, her first box-office hit since 2002.

In 2005, Kapoor appeared in three films. She first starred in the Dharmesh Darshan directed drama Bewafaa. Later in the year, she appeared in Priyadarshan's romantic drama Kyon Ki. The movie failed to make a profit at the box-office, though Kapoor's performance was generally well-received by critics. Kareena then featured in the romance Dosti: Friends Forever alongside Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta. The film, whilst only a moderate success in India, became the highest earning Bollywood film of 2005 in the United Kingdom.

In 2006, Kapoor starred in the thriller 36 China Town, followed by the comedy Chup Chup Ke. Both films performed moderately well at the box office. She next portrayed the role of Desdemona in the Hindi adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello, Omkara. Her performance was praised, earning Kapoor her fourth Filmfare Award and first Star Screen Award.

The following year, she co-starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in Imtiaz Ali's comedy-romance Jab We Met. Relating the story of two people with contrasting personalities who meet on a train and eventually fall in love, Kareena played the female protagonist Geet Dhillon, a vivacious Sikhni girl with a strong zest for life. The film was received favourably by critics and became one of the year's most successful films at the box office. Bebo won several awards for her performance, including a Filmfare Best Actress Award and her second Star Screen Award for Best Actress.

In the year 2008, Karena Tashan is a disaster in the box office. Rohit Shetty's comedy Golmaal Returns, a sequel to the 2006 film Golmaal, followed. This film got the mixed reactions.
