Sidharth Malhotra has steadily carved a distinct space for himself in Bollywood. From his heartthrob debut to intense, layered performances, he has consistently evolved as an actor. Now entering a new personal chapter as a parent with wife Kiara Advani, fans are celebrating not only this joyous milestone but also the impressive trajectory of his film career.
Here are five standout Sidharth Malhotra films that showcase his versatility and are worth a rewatch.
Shershaah (2021)- Prime Video
Directed by Vishnuvardhan, this war biopic gave Sidharth one of his most powerful roles to date. He portrayed Captain Vikram Batra with a mix of valour and vulnerability, bringing the Kargil hero’s story to life with deep emotional resonance. Starring alongside Kiara Advani, who played Dimple Cheema, the film marked a milestone in both his professional and personal life. Their on-screen love story later turned into a real-life bond, now blessed with a baby.
Ek Villain (2014)- JioHotstar
Mohit Suri’s romantic thriller pushed Sidharth into darker territory. As Guru, a violent man trying to find redemption through love, he broke away from his early image of the boy-next-door. With Shraddha Kapoor as his love interest, Sidharth delivered a brooding performance that struck a chord with audiences and gave the film its emotional depth.
Student of the Year (2012)- Netflix
Karan Johar’s glitzy campus drama introduced Sidharth as Abhimanyu Singh, a middle-class student with big dreams. As one of the most polished debuts in recent years, the film set him on the path to stardom. With confidence, charm, and screen presence, Sidharth made a strong first impression alongside fellow debutants Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan.
Hasee Toh Phasee (2014)- Netflix
Helmed by Vinil Mathew, this offbeat romantic comedy gave Sidharth a refreshing space to show his softer, quirky side. He played Nikhil, a struggling entrepreneur caught between family expectations and an unexpected emotional bond with Meeta, played brilliantly by Parineeti Chopra. Their chemistry was unconventional yet endearing, and the film stood out for its fresh storytelling and emotional warmth.
Mission Majnu (2023)- Netflix
Directed by Shantanu Bagchi, this espionage thriller saw Sidharth take on the role of an undercover Indian agent operating in Pakistan during the 1970s. His portrayal of a man torn between duty and love brought out a quiet intensity that anchored the film. It was a fresh addition to his action-thriller lineup and further proved his range.
