Deepika Padukone is one of India’s highest-paid and most influential actresses. Her career spans three languages (Hindi, Tamil, Kannada) with over 40 films. Below is a breakdown by era and notable milestones.

Padukone’s filmography also charts the rise of the "female-led blockbuster." Padmaavat (2018) saw her playing Rani Padmavati, a role with limited dialogue but immense screen presence. The video of her performing "Ghoomar"—a traditional Rajasthani folk dance—became a political and cultural event, sparking debates and dance trends simultaneously. Similarly, Chhapaak (2020), based on the life of an acid attack survivor, was a stark, makeup-less departure. While less commercially successful, the trailer and the behind-the-scenes videos of Padukone interacting with the real-life survivor, Laxmi Agarwal, became powerful viral documents of empathy.
