Mohua Chakraborty

Mohua Chakraborty’s filmography is actually kind of fascinating if you’re into the whole modern Bollywood scene. She’s not one of those names that’s constantly plastered everywhere, but man, when she pops up, it’s usually in something pretty memorable. Like, take “Haseen Dillruba” from 2021—a twisty, steamy thriller that plays around with love, murder, and a whole lotta questionable decisions. It’s got that pulpy feel, drenched in suspense, and Mohua’s role (even if it’s not center stage) fits right into the film’s tangled mess of relationships and betrayals. She’s just got this knack for slipping into stories that are a bit off-kilter, a little more daring than the usual song-and-dance routine. Then there’s “Gangubai Kathiawadi” in 2022, which was a totally different ride. That movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali—yeah, the guy who makes everything look like a fever dream—dives straight into the underbelly of Mumbai, all glitz and grit, with Alia Bhatt absolutely owning it as Gangubai. Mohua’s presence in that kind of film is just more proof she gravitates toward roles with some actual meat, not just filler. And don’t forget “Ram Setu” (also 2022), which is honestly more of an adventure flick, playing around with mythology, action, and a bit of treasure-hunting chaos. It’s a total genre mash-up, and having Mohua in the cast brings a little extra edge. She’s not the loudest in the room, but she’s definitely someone who makes her mark, choosing projects that actually stick with you.
