Deepika Padukone's 10 BIGGEST HITS
She is the top actress in the film industry today, and no one is debating it anymore.
After all, Deepika Padukone has given four back-to-back hits, with her latest film Ram-Leela showing a lot of promise.
Her last flop (Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey) was way back in 2010.
Here's a look at Deepika's biggest hits down the years.
Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela Ram Leela
It's all been about chemistry.
From Day One of the film's marketing and promotion, the talking point of this planned campaign was the sizzling and unabashed chemistry between lead actors Deepika and Ranveer Singh.
Audience didn't get anything less and with Rs 53 crore coming in just the weekend, its box office fate look good.

Chennai Express
Deepika's earlier film Chennai Express reached the Rs 200 crore mark, and was a phenomenal success. In fact, it was such a big success that it also got the highest TRP rating when it premiered on television.
Will Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika scale further heights in their next film together Happy New Year? Let's wait and watch.
Box Office Collections: Rs 225 crores
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani seemed like a winner from the start, thanks to Deepika's fabulous chemistry with her former beau Ranbir Kapoor.
And even though Ranbir stole hearts with his Batameez Dil jig, Deepika made sure she stood out. The film missed the Rs 200 crore mark by a whisker.
Box Office Collections: Rs 190 crores.
Race 2
Now this is what luck is all about.
Deepika stepped into the film, then walked out due to date issues, then walked right back when the makers insisted, and eventually managed to score her first Rs 100 crore success.
Race 2 may have been all about style and glamour but Deepika showed everyone that she had it all. Her bikini act in the film was an instant hit.
Box Office Collections: Rs 102 crores
Om Shanti Om
Much before the films were being sold as 'Deepika-starrers', the young woman with stars in her eyes had a dream start with Shah Rukh Khan.
The superstar supported her, the director (Farah Khan) mentored her and soon, Deepika found herself in the middle of a double role no less.
Om Shanti Om, her calling card, went on to become her first hit.
Box Office Collections: 79 crores
Cocktail
Cocktail brought Dips recognition as a star-actor, who could deliver in a complex role. Audiences loved her Veronica character most, in the Deepika-Saif Ali Khan-Diana Penty starrer. Chartbuster songs did their trick as well.
Box Office Collections: Rs 76 crores
Housefull
Housefull came as a happy welcome for Deepika after a spate of flops at the box office.
The Akshay Kumar starrer may have boasted of six leads but as Saundarya Bhagayalaxmi Venkateshwari Basapa Rao a.k.a. Sandy -- Deepika's character -- was as endearing as ever. The film was a good success.
Box Office Collections: Rs 72 crores
Love Aaj Kal
Her pairing with Saif Ali Khan has almost always succeeded and it all started with Love Aaj Kal.
Director Imtiaz Ali was back after his huge hit Jab We Met, and expectations were sky high.
This successful film with Saif paved the way for four more hits starring the duo.
Box Office Collections: Rs 67 crores
Desi Boyz
Essentially a 'boyz' show (the film revolved around its lead stars Akshay Kumar and John Abraham), Deepika made her presence felt in Desi Boyz, especially in the hits songs.
Though she may not be seen flaunting the film in her repertoire, considering it didn't demand histrionics from her, the fact remains that Desi Boyz made money.
Box Office Collections: Rs 48 crores
Bachna Ae Haseeno
In her first film with Ranbir Kapoor, Dips had to share the actor with two other women -- Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.
Eventually, it was she who walked away with the man in the sunset.
A quintessential romcom entertainer, Bachna Ae Haseeno was neither too demanding on her as an actress nor did it promise audience a moon, and the film was a safe success at the box office.
Box Office Collections: Rs 37 crores
