5 Bhumi Pednekar Performances That Prove She Is An Unorthodox Actress
Bhumi Pednekar’s breathtaking performance in the 2015 film Dum Laga Ke Haisha, her acting debut, left the audience in awe. Since then, the actress has made bold screenplay choices that have revolutionised Bollywood films. Her decisions deviate from what society deems to be typical. She is noted for representing the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals that are plus-sized, older, and from diverse backgrounds. She has established herself as a distinctive Bollywood actor in less than ten years thanks to her compelling script selection. And on the occasion of the actress’ birthday, let’s take a look at her top 5 performances which are our favourite:
1. Dum Laga Ke Haisha
Dum Laga Ke Haisha is Bhumi Pednekar’s Bollywood debut film. A film that helped her establish herself as an unorthodox artist and had a lasting influence on the business. Marriage and its challenges are the focus of the Sharat Katariya-directed film, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar. Bhumi received her first Filmfare Award for Best Debut Female for this film.
2. Badhaai Do
Another film starring Bhumi Pednekar, Badhaai Do, sheds focus on a different social stigma and the difficulties faced by members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Along with Rajkummar Rao, who plays the leading male character, the actress appears in the Harshvardhan Kulkarni-directed film. The two characters, who are both members of the community, enter into a lavender marriage, sometimes known as a marriage of convenience, which is the focus of the narrative.

3. Sonchiriya
The action movie Sonchiriya was directed by Abhishek Chaubey. Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar, Manoj Bajpayee, Ashutosh Rana, and Ranvir Shorey are featured in the film. The story of a rebel dacoit band known as the Baaghis is depicted in this film, which is situated in the Chambal ravines. It chronicles the lives of the dacoits as they struggle and is a promising watch because it is set in the 1970s. Bhumi gave a strong performance that astounded the crowd. The actress received a lot of recognition and praise for the film. Among them is the actress’ nomination for a Filmfare Award for best performance (Critic). In addition to Bhumi’s individual effort, the film received numerous Filmfare Award nominations.

4. Lust Stories
Bhumi Pednekar does not get enough appreciation for what she accomplished in Zoya Akhtar’s short film from Netflix’s Lust Stories. Her deliberate switch to films with a broader appeal might have made her work in Lust Stories a think of the past but I genuinely believe that it continues to be one of Bhumi’s best performances. The scene where Neil Bhoopalan’s character and Bhumi’s character make out in Lust Stories is one of the most talked-about ones.

5. Saand Ki Aankh
Bhumi Pednekar and Taapsee Pannu feature in Tushar Hiranandani’s biographical film Saand Ki Aankh. Based on the real-life experiences of expert shooters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar, the film is an uplifting story. The oldest sharpshooters are Prakashi Tomar and Chandro, respectively. As these two actors lead you on a rollercoaster ride, the film says a lot about tenacity and the human spirit. The film gently raises social themes including patriarchy and gender inequality. The film was praised by critics and lauded as a feminist statement. Both Taapsee and Bhumi were praised for their fiery performances.
