With Peddi — the much-anticipated Ram Charan-starrer co-starring Janhvi Kapoor — hitting cinemas today on June 4, 2026, the spotlight is firmly on one of Bollywood's most promising young actors. Janhvi Kapoor has built an impressive filmography in just a few years, spanning heartfelt dramas, edge-of-the-seat thrillers, and big-screen spectacles. Whether you want to revisit her debut or discover her more mature recent work, here are the best Janhvi Kapoor movies streaming on OTT right now.

 

Janhvi Kapoor — Best Movies on OTT

 

 

1. Dhadak (2018)

Release Date: July 20, 2018  |  Director: Shashank Khaitan  |  Cast: Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, Ashutosh Rana

 

Dhadak movie poster — Janhvi Kapoor debut film

 

Dhadak was the launchpad for Janhvi Kapoor, and what a launch it was. Directed by Shashank Khaitan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, this romantic drama is the Hindi remake of the acclaimed Marathi film Sairat. Janhvi plays Parthavi, a wealthy girl who falls in love with a boy from a different caste (Ishaan Khatter). The film's strength lies in the chemistry between its lead pair and its emotionally charged climax. While the original set an impossibly high bar, Janhvi's debut was a confident one — she brought a freshness and vulnerability to the screen that announced a new talent had arrived. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

2. Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020)

Release Date: August 12, 2020  |  Director: Sharan Sharma  |  Cast: Janhvi Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi

 

Gunjan Saxena movie poster — Janhvi Kapoor biopic

 

This Netflix original biopic tells the remarkable true story of Gunjan Saxena, one of India's first female Air Force pilots to serve in combat during the 1999 Kargil War. Janhvi delivers her most earnest performance in the title role, capturing the determination and quiet courage of a young woman who broke through one of the most male-dominated professions in the country. Supported by a brilliant Pankaj Tripathi as her father, the film is an inspiring watch that balances family warmth with moments of genuine tension. It remains one of Janhvi's most critically respected performances.

3. Mili (2022)

Release Date: November 4, 2022  |  Director: Mathukutty Xavier  |  Cast: Janhvi Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Sunny Kaushal

 

Mili movie poster — Janhvi Kapoor survival thriller

 

Perhaps Janhvi Kapoor's finest performance to date. Mili is a survival thriller about a young woman trapped inside a freezer, fighting to stay alive against impossible odds. It is the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Helen, and Janhvi carries almost the entire film on her shoulders — mostly in isolation, with minimal dialogue, relying entirely on physical and emotional expression. The result is a gripping, claustrophobic thriller that earned her widespread praise. Watching her character's will to survive unfold minute by minute makes for genuinely intense cinema. Streaming on Netflix.

4. Bawaal (2023)

Release Date: July 21, 2023  |  Director: Nitesh Tiwari  |  Cast: Varun Dhawan, Janhvi Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa

 

Bawaal movie poster — Janhvi Kapoor Amazon Prime

 

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari (Dangal, Chhichhore), Bawaal is a relationship drama with a European road trip backdrop. Janhvi plays Nisha, a spirited young woman navigating a complicated marriage with Varun Dhawan's Ajay. The film uses World War II historical locations across Europe as metaphors for the couple's personal battles, giving it an unusual visual and emotional texture. Janhvi brings warmth and authenticity to her role, grounding the film when its ambitions threaten to fly off the handle. It is a love story that asks big questions about forgiveness, partnership, and growth. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

5. Ulajh (2024)

Release Date: August 2, 2024  |  Director: Sudhanshu Saria  |  Cast: Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, Roshan Mathew

 

Ulajh movie poster — Janhvi Kapoor thriller

 

Ulajh is a taut diplomatic thriller that sees Janhvi step into the world of Indian Foreign Service intrigue. She plays a young diplomat posted to the Indian High Commission in London who gets caught in a web of conspiracy, espionage, and personal betrayal. The film marked a deliberate shift toward more mature, grey-shaded roles for Janhvi, and she holds her own alongside seasoned actors like Gulshan Devaiah. The suspense is layered, the twists are earned, and Janhvi proves she can anchor a complex political thriller with the same ease as a romance or survival drama. Streaming on Netflix.

Why Janhvi Kapoor Is One to Watch in 2026

In just eight years, Janhvi Kapoor has evolved from a star kid with a famous surname into an actor willing to take risks. Mili proved her ability to carry a single-location thriller. Ulajh showed she could handle complex political drama. And now, with Peddi — a pan-India Telugu-Hindi film alongside Ram Charan — she is stepping into the big leagues of Indian cinema. With more projects lined up across languages and genres, Janhvi Kapoor is building a career on versatility, not just privilege. Catch up on her best work while Peddi plays in cinemas near you.
