After a role as an extra in Mom (2017), Dimri made her acting debut with Shreyas Talpade's directorial debut, the 2017 comedy Poster Boys , starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Talpade in lead roles. [7] An official remake of the Marathi film Poshter Boyz , it featured her as Talpade's love interest. [8] [9] A critic for Bollywood Hungama noted that Dimri's performance was overshadowed by others in the ensemble cast, yet found her to be "decent". [10] She next appeared in a leading role in the 2018 critically acclaimed romantic drama Laila Majnu , opposite Avinash Tiwary. In her review for Firstpost, Anna M. M. Vetticad noted that she "imbued her Laila with an edge that made the character's constant flirtations with danger believable". [11] Following its release digitally, many outlets assigned the film cult status despite its commercial failure. [12] [13] [14] Dimri later admitted to struggling to cope with the films failure at the box-office. [15]

After a short hiatus, Dimri achieved her breakthrough as the protagonist in Anvita Dutt's 2020 supernatural drama Bulbbul , reuniting with Tiwari for a second time. Produced by Anushka Sharma, the film was met with positive reviews from critics. [16] Namrata Joshi of The Hindu wrote, "From the vulnerable and the innocent to the transformation into the mysterious tease, Dimri is a stunner who speaks volumes with her eyes. And the audience can do little but stay enraptured". [17] Her performance earned her a Filmfare OTT Awards for Best Actor, Web Original Film (Female). [18]

In 2022, Dimri reunited with Dutt and starred in the title role of the critically acclaimed Qala . [19] The film received positive reviews from critics with Dimri's performance as an aspiring singer struggling to balance her personal life alongside her growing career receiving praise. [20] Sanatanu Das of the Hindustan Times found Dimri to be "in fine form" but added that "her character is frustratingly one-note and delivered mostly in the same anxious wavelength". [21] Dimri said that she deliberately chose to star in Qala to diversify her filmography and improve as an actor by appearing in genres she was previously unfamiliar with. [22]

Commercial breakthrough (2023–present)

Dimri appeared in a brief role in the top-grossing action drama Animal (2023), starring Ranbir Kapoor. [23] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times was appreciative of Dimri's short appearance in the film. [24] The film proved to be a significant advancement in Dimri's career with her role gaining her wider recognition. [25] She received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. [26] She credited the success of Animal with providing her access to a wider variety of roles. [27]

In the following year, Dimri had a starring role alongside Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk in Bad Newz , a comedy about heteropaternal superfecundation. [28] She admitted that she found the comedy genre challenging, having grown accustomed to working in dramatic pieces. [29] NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee found her lacking in her portrayal of a "befuddled character". [30] Many critics lamented the reduction of Dimri’s character to mere eye candy, especially when compared to her roles in both Bulbbul and Qala. [31] [32] The film emerged a modest commercial success. [33]

Dimri will next star with Rajkummar Rao in the 1990s-set masala film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, [34] Kartik Aaryan starrer horror comedy film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 , [35] and with Siddhant Chaturvedi in a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal , titled Dhadak 2 . [36]
