[14]

2009–2011

In 2009 Dam appeared in seven Bengali films, and came into focus with the success of Kaalbela (directed by Goutam Ghose). Based on a Bengali novel by Samaresh Majumdar, the film's background was the Naxalite movement of the 1980s. Dam played Madhabilata, the girlfriend of a young Naxalite leader, [15] and her performance was praised. [12] In its review, The Times of India appreciated: "Pauli, who plays Madhabilata with such integrity that the pain in her eyes and the romance in her voice charms viewers to believe that she has it in her to lend her face to everything that Madhabilita has epitomised". [15] In an interview, Dam said the film was a "turning point" in her career: [13] "Everybody needs a platform – Kalbela gave me the platform. I had to prove myself". [12] Her other six films released that year were Hochchheta ki , directed by Basu Chatterjee; Jamai Raja, directed by Swapan Saha; Box No. 1313; Mallick Bari; Shob Charitro Kalponik , directed by Rituparno Ghosh and Tinmurti.[ citation needed ]

Moner Manush was Dam's second film with Ghose; in this film she played Komli, a Baul. [16] In its review, The Times of India found Dam making "sincere efforts in portraying the role of Kamli". [17] The actress later said in an interview that she learned a great deal from working with Ghose. [13]

In 2011, Dam appeared in Chatrak , directed by the Sri Lankan Vimukthi Jayasundara. [18] The actress played Paoli, a Bengali girl, and the film triggered controversy in India when an explicit unstimulated no-body-double sex scene with Dam and Anubrata Basu was leaked on the Internet. [3] [19] [4]

2012–present

In 2012, Dam's first Hindi film Hate Story was released; she also appeared in three Bengali films: Bedroom (directed by Mainak Bhaumik), Elar Char Adhyay (directed by Bappaditya Bandyopadhyay) and Teen Yaari Katha (the actress' first film appearance, directed by Sudeshna Roy and Abhijit Guha).[ citation needed ]Bedroom's story line revolved around the lives of Kolkata urban couples; Dam played Priyanka, a bored and irritable housewife. [20] [21] Elar Char Adhyay was based on Rabindranath Tagore's literary work Char Adhyay, and was set in British Raj India during the 1940s. Dam played Ela, teacher of a group fighting for Indian independence. Her acting was praised; The Indian Express found Dam's characterization of Ela "wonderful" [22] and The Times of India wrote: "Those who thought Paoli's "Hate Story" outing was all about being bold will be pleasantly surprised by her sheer maturity in reinterpreting boldness in the context of an era long left behind". [23] In Teen Yaari Katha, the actress played a supporting role. [24]

Dam also appeared in Mainak Bhaumik's Family Album. The film, also starring Swastika Mukherjee, deals with an MMS scandal. [25]

[26] Later that year, Dam acted in Obhishopto Nighty (cursed nighty), directed by Birsa Dasgupta. Dam played the character of Miss Monica, a Bengali bar singer of the 1980s in the comedy-romantic film. [27] Dam said that she was initially reluctant to accept the role, but later realised that it was a "love story". [28] Her next releases were the drama film Sada Canvas [29] and the romantic comedy Hercules, directed by Abhijit Guha and Sudeshna Roy. [30] Dam described her character in Hercules, Minu, as "practical, grounded and not driven by emotions". [31] Her first 2015 release was Anjan Das' Ajana Batash, in which she played Deepa, who works in an ad agency in Kolkata, "lost in depression amongst all the affluence". [32]

Dam's upcoming films include Debesh Chattopadhyay's Natoker Moto - Like a Play which, according to Dam, was a "fictional biopic of a famous actress of the Bengali stage during the 1970s", [31] Auroni Taukhon by Saurav Chakraborty, which is a love story set against the background of communal riots, [31] [33] and Swarup Ghosh's rom-com Tobuo Aparichito.

In 2012, Dam made her Bollywood debut in Hate Story , directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Vikram Bhatt. [35] The film had female protagonists; Dam played Kavyah Krishna, a sex worker. [36] In the film, she and her friend Vicky pull off a caper against one of India's biggest business tycoons. [37]

Dam's performance in this film received a lukewarm response. The Times of India in its review: [37]

Paoli Dam doesn't disappoint one bit on the latter aspect, she is not bad in terms of her acting abilities either. She doesn't incite the pathos that one could fervently feel for her character's plight. But though her act is not accomplished, she manages to pull off her role quite well.

After the film's commercial success, producer Vikram Bhatt planned a sequel, in which Dam was replaced by Surveen Chawla. [38]

After Hate Story, Dam appeared in Vikram Bhatt's next film Ankur Arora Murder Case . The film, directed by Sohail Tatari, is based on the true story of a young boy who died in an operating room due to medical negligence. Dam plays a lawyer fighting for justice. [39] In an interview, she described her role: "It's something very real and close to life and it's a de-glamourised role. It's something that I really enjoyed playing". [40] [41] After attending a special screening of the film in Mumbai, Indian film critic and journalist Taran Adarsh called Dam and said that she should work more in Bollywood. [42]

Dam performed an item number in the 2014 comedy-horror film Gang of Ghosts , directed by Satish Kaushik. [43]

Dam is scheduled to appear in the Hindi film Yaara Silly Silly , directed by Subhash Sehgal. [44] As of April 2013, she will also appear in Ashuu Trikha's thriller Jee Jaan Se (with Kay Kay Menon and Raveena Tandon) as a homemaker whose life is shattered after the death of her husband. [44] According to a 25 April 2013 article in The Times of India, after working in two Vikram Bhatt films, Dam has been offered a third (also a thriller). [44]

Other films

In 2012, Dam began working on the Konkani film Baga Beach , directed by Laxmikant Shetgaonkar. The actress said in an interview: "I like working in different kinds of films. I met Laxmikant Shetgaonkar at the Cannes film festival in 2011 and later heard his script for Baga Beach and liked it. I thought it would be a very unique experience working in a Konkani film. And I thought 15 to 20 days of commitment to a film is not much to give". [45] In 2017, she made her Bangladeshi with Hashibur Reza Kallol's tragic romance Swatta , in which she played a prostitute co-starring with Shakib Khan. The film won numerous accolades including five National Film Awards in several categories including Khan's fourth Best Actor award at the 42 National Film Awards, six Bachsas Awards and two Meril-Prothom Alo Awards.
