Tabu had a brief role in the war film Border, the highest-grossing Hindi film of 1997, and portrayed a village girl opposite Anil Kapoor in the Priyadarshan-directed drama Virasat.[8][9] Among her 1999 releases were two of the top-grossing Bollywood films of the year—the comedy Biwi No.1, and the family drama Hum Saath-Saath Hain.[10] She also starred as the rebellious daughter of a corrupt politician in Gulzar's critically praised drama Hu Tu Tu (1999).[11][12] The following year, she starred in Kandukondain Kandukondain, a Tamil adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, and played a submissive homemaker in the bilingual drama Astitva.[13][14] Tabu garnered a second National Film Award for Best Actress for portraying a bar dancer in Madhur Bhandarkar's crime drama Chandni Bar (2001).[15][16] In 2003, she starred in the Bengali film Abar Aranye, and portrayed a character based on Lady Macbeth, in Maqbool—an adaptation of Macbeth from Vishal Bhardwaj.[17][18] Following a few commercial failures,[19] Tabu played triple roles in M. F. Husain's musical drama Meenaxi: A Tale of Three Cities.[20] Tabu's first international project came with Mira Nair's adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake.[14][21] In R. Balki's Cheeni Kum (2007), Tabu starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan as a woman romantically involved with a much older man;[15] the role earned her a record fourth Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.[a][23][24]

Following a brief role in Ang Lee's adventure film Life of Pi (2012),[25][26] Tabu starred alongside Salman Khan in Jai Ho, and garnered critical acclaim for playing the Gertrude character in Bhardwaj's Haider.[27][28] She won the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress for the latter.[29] Tabu's career continued to expand with starring roles opposite Devgn in the thriller Drishyam (2015), the horror comedy Golmaal Again (2017), and the romantic comedy De De Pyaar De (2019).[30] She gained acclaim for playing a murderess in Andhadhun (2018), which ranks as one of the highest-grossing Indian films.[31][32] In 2020, she featured in the top-grossing Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, winning the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Telugu, and starred in the British miniseries A Suitable Boy.[33][34][35] Further commercial successes came in 2022 with the sequels Drishyam 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and the female-led heist comedy Crew (2024).[36] Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 won her another Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress.[37]
