Stylish, classy, born with a silver spoon, she's someone who loves to flaunt not just her clothes and bags, but also her riches. Extremely photogenic, Alia makes a super-confident debut."Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times also mentioned the similarities with Kapoor's character, but noted that her performance was "without the killer attitude." Student of the Year grossed ₹960 million (US$15 million) at the box office



Bhatt established herself in Bollywood with her three film releases of 2014.She played the protagonist of Imtiaz Ali's road filmHighway opposite Randeep Hooda. Her portrayal of a lonely teenage girl who develops stockholm syndrome after being abducted was acclaimed by the critics.Rachit Gupta of Filmfare mentioned that "[a]t 20, it’s surprising how Alia has got so many deft nuances right. It’s as if the actor has grown with the character. She is truly one of the most promising new actors in Hindi films."Sonia Chopra of Sify added that Bhatt is "completely immersed" in her role, and that "Alia’s uninhibited and raw performance will have you emotionally invested in her character all through."Though the film underperformed at the box office,Bhatt won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress and also garnered a Best Actress nomination at the ceremony.In Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala's joint production 2 States, Bhatt starred oppositeArjun Kapoor. An adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same name, it narrates the story of two IIM Ahmedabad students who encounter trouble in convincing their parents to approve of their relationship.

The film emerged as a top-grossing production, earning over ₹1.7 billion (US$27 million) worldwide.Bhatt's final film role in 2014 was as Kavya Pratap Singh, a Punjabi girl who engages in a romantic affair with a stranger a few days prior to her wedding, in Shashank Khaitan's romantic comedy Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. Co-starring Varun Dhawan and Siddharth Shukla, the film was described as a tribute toDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) by Johar, who served as producer.Writing for India Today, Rohit Khilnani thought that Bhatt had pitched in "one of her best performances so far", though Nandini Ramnath of Mint found her performance to be lacking in subtlety, writing that she was "more comfortable acting out her feelings through dialogue and actions".Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniaproved to be her second consecutive release to earn over ₹1 billion (US$16 million).Her accomplishments in 2014 led Box Office Indiato label her as the top Bollywood actress of the year.Also in 2014, Bhatt appeared in a short film on women's safety, entitled Going Home, from director Vikas Bahl.She next reunited with Bahl to film the romantic comedy Shaandaar.

In 2016, Bhatt played the supporting role of a lively young girl with a buried past in Kapoor & Sons, a drama about a dysfunctional family starring Sidharth Malhotra and Fawad Khan. The film proved to be a critical and commercial success.Bhatt then took on the part of a poverty-stricken Bihari migrant in the Indian state of Punjab in Udta Punjab(2016), a crime drama about substance abusefrom the director Abhishek Chaubey. The intense role marked a significant departure from the mostly light-hearted parts she had previously played, and in preparation, she watched documentaries on drug abuse and learned to speak a Bihari dialect.The film, co-starring Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, and Diljit Dosanjh, generated controversy when the Central Board of Film Certificationdeemed that the film represented Punjab in a negative light and demanded extensive censorship before its theatrical release.The Bombay High Court later cleared the film for exhibition with one scene cut.Bhatt's performance in the film was critically acclaimed, with several commentators believing that it was her best performance to that point.Raja Sen of Rediff.com wrote that Bhatt "commits to her accent and deals with the film's most unsavoury section, and is stunning during an incendiary speech that elevates the entire film to a whole other level."Bhatt continued to gain critical praise as she took on the role of an aspiring cinematographer whose life undergoes a series of changes after she consults a free-spirited psychologist (played by Shah Rukh Khan) in the coming-of-age film Dear Zindagi(2016). Writing for IndieWire, Anisha Jhaveri noted that Bhatt provides her character with "a three-dimensionality in which the somewhat annoying nature of millennial angst is balanced with an innocence that’s impossible not to recognize".The film proved a box office success as well, earning a total of ₹1.39 billion (US$22 million) worldwide.Udta Punjab and Dear Zindagi earned Bhatt several awards and nominations; for the former, she won the Screen Award and the Filmfare Award for Best Actress, and for the latter, she received an additional Best Actress nomination at Filmfare.The series of successful films continued with Bhatt's next project—the romantic comedyBadrinath Ki Dulhania (2017)—which reunited her with Khaitan and Dhawan.The film tells the story of an independent young woman (Bhatt) from rural India who refuses to conform to patriarchal expectations from her chauvinistic fiancee (Dhawan). Rachel Saltz ofThe New York Times took note of the film's statement on gender equality and wrote, "Without ever falling into the clichés of spunky Bollywood heroine, [Bhatt] effortlessly embodies that admirable thing: a modern woman."With over ₹1.95 billion(US$30 million) in box office receipts,Badrinath Ki Dulhania proved to be Bhatt's highest-grossing release.As of July 2017, Bhatt has begun filming forMeghna Gulzar's Raazi, an espionage thriller set during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, in which plays the lead role of a Kashmiri spy married to a policeman from Pakistan (played by Vicky Kaushal).In addition, she has committed to star with Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerji's Dragon about a man with superpowers, and opposite Ranveer Singh in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, a musical based on the life of rappers living in Mumbai's ghettos
