In 2004, she played the lead role of army wife Sandra Williams in Hum Kaun Hai?, a supernatural thriller. The film opened to a mixed critical reception, but Kapadia's performance received positive comments. Subhash K. Jha noted that she "carries the film beyond where it would have been otherwise"; Rama Sharma of The Tribune wrote of her performance, "Dimple lends all her charisma to help the script sail through dead ends. Whether she is scared or scolding children, she has a powerful presence."[54][55] 2005 saw Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor reunite as a lead couple for the third time after Bobby (1973) and Saagar (1985) in Pyaar Mein Twist. They starred as two middle-aged single parents who fall in love and later have to deal with the reaction of their children. The film generated mostly negative reviews, with several critics concurring that the chemistry between the lead pair is what makes the film watchable.[56][57] In a two-star review, Khalid Mohamed called Kapadia "a dream actress", but ultimately concluded, "See this twisteroo if you must, only for the undiminished Kapoor-Kapadia chemistry."[58] Few people went to see the film; within two weeks it was declared a flop.[59]
Kapadia's part of former superstar Neena Walia in Luck by Chance, which was referred to in the film as "a crocodile in a chiffon saree", won her critical praise and a Filmfare nomination.
In 2006, she co-starred with Saif Ali Khan and Naseeruddin Shah in the psychological drama Being Cyrus (2006), an English-language arthouse feature directed by Homi Adajania. Kapadia enacted the part of Katy, Shah's neurotic and unfaithful wife who runs an affair with Cyrus, a young man who enters their house as an assistant. Her work received varied comments. According to BBC's Poonam Joshi, "The descent into despair of Dimple Kapadia's Katy is enthralling."[60] Derek Elley from Variety, however, panned her for "wildly overact[ing]", with similar sentiments being shared by several critics, including Shradha Sukumaran from Mid Day, who labelled her performance "over-the-top and jerky".[61][62] In V. K. Prakash's Phir Kabhi Kapadia and Mithun Chakraborty played ageing people who meet at a school reunion and rekindle their high-school romance. At the request of her son-in-law Akshay Kumar, she voiced the character of Devi, the mother of the title character of an elephant (voiced by Kumar) in the animated movie Jumbo (2008).[63]
Kapadia was cast in Zoya Akhtar's first directorial venture, Luck By Chance (2009), a satirical take on the Hindi film industry. She essayed the part of Neena Walia, an erstwhile superstar—referred to in the film as "a crocodile in a chiffon saree"—who struggles to launch her young daughter in the movie business.[64] Luck By Chance opened to a warm critical response, though its financial income was modest.[65] Critics were appreciative of Kapadia's performance, which earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at Filmfare. Deepa Karmalkar from Screen characterised her as "gloriously bitchy",[66] while Sukanya Verma from Rediff hailed her as "stunning, striking, storming".[67]
[edit]2010s
Kapadia played the small part of Salman Khan's asthmatic mother in Dabangg (2010). With revenues of 213 crore worldwide, the film was a huge commercial success, emerging as the most popular film of the year in India as well as the second-highest grossing Hindi film of all-time up to that point.[68] Reviews for Kapadia were mixed, with Shubhra Gupta writing that she is "laughably wrong".[69] Tum Milo Toh Sahi, released the same year, was a mature love story, in which she starred as Delshad Nanji, a Parsi woman in charge of an Irani café, who falls in love with a man played by Nana Patekar. Kapadia employed a Parsi accent for the role and, while preparing for it, visited several Irani cafés in Mumbai in order to understand their cultural basics and get into the mood of the character.[70] The film opened to average reviews, but her performance received generally positive feedback, with several critics noting her chemistry with Patekar.[71][72] Anupama Chopra, in a negative review, criticised her character, claiming it "veers into caricature", but wrote of Kapadia that she "plays her with affection and energy and at least has some fun doing it."[73]
Kapadia's only film of 2011 was Nikhil Advani's Patiala House, a sports film revolving around cricket in which she was cast as Rishi Kapoor's wife and her son in-law, Akshay Kumar's mother. The role was small, with Times of India's Nikhat Kazmi commenting that she "does end up a bit underutilised".[74] As of December 2011, Kapadia is set to appear in her third non-Hindi and first Malayalam-language film, Bombay Mittayi, for which she started learning the language. She plays the wife of a celebrated Ghazal singer, played by Amar Singh, on whose behest she was offered the part.[30]
[edit]Personal life
Kapadia is the eldest daughter of Gujarati entrepreneur Chunnibhai Kapadia and Betty, her younger siblings being late actress Simple Kapadia, a sister named Reem and a brother, Munna. The family resided in Santa Cruz, Mumbai, and she studied at St. Joseph's Convent High School.[41][75] She married actor Rajesh Khanna six months before the release of her first film, Bobby, in 1973.[6] She then retired from acting for twelve years to raise her two daughters, Twinkle (b. 1974) and Rinke (b. 1977).[6] Reportedly, it was Khanna who "put a ban on her acting career promptly after the marriage," though Kapadia has once noted that "career has always been secondary" to her.[11][17]
Kapadia separated from Khanna in April 1982, leaving the house with her two daughters back to her parents.[17] She returned to acting two years later.[6] In a 1985 interview with India Today, she remarked, "The life and happiness in our house came to an end the day I and Rajesh got married." She shared her unhappy marital experience and called their marriage "a farce", noting that it just took her "a hell of a long time to realise that."[17] In 2010, reporter Dinesh Raheja stated that "the bitterness between Rajesh and Dimple washed away", noting that they are seen together at parties and that Dimple campaigned for Khanna's election and also worked in his film Jai Shiv Shankar.[76] Asked in Filmfare whether she would want to marry again, Kapadia replied, "I'm very happy and content. Why do I need to get married again? Once was more than enough."[11]
Her daughters also became actresses and retired after settling down. Her first daughter, Twinkle Khanna, is married to actor Akshay Kumar.[63]
