Triptii Dimri (born 23 February 1995)[1] is an Indian actress who works in Hindi films. She made her acting debut in the thriller Mom (2017) and had her first lead role in the romantic drama Laila Majnu (2018). She gained critical recognition for her performances in Anvita Dutt's period films Bulbbul (2020) and Qala (2022), with the former earning her a Filmfare OTT Award.

Dimri was featured in Forbes Asia's 30 Under 30 list of 2021.[2] She gained popularity with a supporting role in the top-grossing action film Animal (2023), earning a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress, and has since starred in the comedy films Bad Newz and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (both 2024).

Early life

Triptii Dimri was born on 23 February 1995[3] in Pauri Garhwal district in the state of Uttarakhand.[4] She was born to Meenakshi and Dinesh and in an interview she revealed that her parents have always been supportive of her in her career.[5]

Career

Early work and critical recognition (2017–2022)

Dimri pictured with co-star Avinash Tiwary promoting Laila Majnu in 2018.

After a role as an extra in Mom (2017), Dimri had her first lead role in Shreyas Talpade's directorial debut, the comedy Poster Boys, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Talpade in lead roles.[6] An official remake of the Marathi film Poshter Boyz, it featured her as Talpade's love interest.[7][8] A critic for Bollywood Hungama noted that Dimri's performance was overshadowed by others in the ensemble cast, yet found her to be "decent".[9] She next appeared in a leading role in the critically acclaimed romantic drama Laila Majnu (2018), opposite Avinash Tiwary. In her review for Firstpost, Anna M. M. Vetticad noted that she "imbued her Laila with an edge that made the character's constant flirtations with danger believable".[10] Following its release digitally, many outlets assigned the film cult status despite its initial commercial failure.[11][12][13] Dimri later admitted to struggling to cope with the films failure at the box-office.[14]

After a short hiatus, Dimri achieved her breakthrough as the protagonist in Anvita Dutt's 2020 supernatural drama Bulbbul, reuniting with Tiwari for a second time. Produced by Anushka Sharma, the film was met with positive reviews from critics.[15] Namrata Joshi of The Hindu wrote, "From the vulnerable and the innocent to the transformation into the mysterious tease, Dimri is a stunner who speaks volumes with her eyes. And the audience can do little but stay enraptured".[16] Her performance earned her a Filmfare OTT Award for Best Actor, Web Original Film (Female).[17]

In 2022, Dimri reunited with Dutt and starred in the title role of the critically acclaimed Qala.[18] The film received positive reviews from critics with Dimri's performance as an aspiring playback singer struggling to balance her personal life alongside her growing career receiving praise.[19] Dimri stated that she intentionally chose to star in Qala to diversify her filmography and challenge herself by exploring genres she had not previously worked in.[20] Sanatanu Das of the Hindustan Times found Dimri to be "in fine form" but added that "her character is frustratingly one-note and delivered mostly in the same anxious wavelength".[21]

Commercial breakthrough (2023–present)

Dimri appeared in a brief role in the top-grossing action drama Animal (2023), starring Ranbir Kapoor.[22] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times was appreciative of Dimri's short appearance in the film.[23] The film proved to be a significant advancement in Dimri's career with her role gaining her wider recognition.[24] She received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.[25] She credited the success of Animal with providing her access to a wider variety of roles.[26]

In the following year, Dimri had three releases. She starred alongside Vicky Kaushal and Ammy Virk in Bad Newz, a comedy about heteropaternal superfecundation.[27] She admitted to finding the comedy genre challenging, having grown accustomed to working in dramatic pieces.[28] NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee found her lacking in her portrayal of a "befuddled character".[29] Rahul Desai of Film Companion particularly lamented the diminished depth of Dimri’s character, especially when compared to her more substantial roles in Bulbbul and Qala.[30][31] In Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Dimri and Rajkummar Rao played newlyweds in 1997 searching for their missing sex tape.[32] Dimri faced criticism and social media trolling for her dancing abilities in a song from the film, "Mere Mehboob";[33] she acknowledged it as a learning experience while trying something new.[34] The Quint's Pratikshya Mishra was appreciative of Rao and Dimri's abilities and chemistry in a poorly written film.[35] Bhavna Agarwal of India Today criticised her comic timing in both Bad Newz and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.[36] The following month, Dimri starred alongside Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit in the comedy horror sequel Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Reviewers for The Hindu and Rediff.com dismissed Dimri as ornamental.[37][38]

Bad Newz and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 rank among the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2024, with the latter earning over ₹3.6 billion (US$43 million) worldwide.[39] Saibal Chatterjee observed that Dimri "faces a very real risk of over-exposure" due to the high number of films she has appeared in consecutively.[40] She will next star with Siddhant Chaturvedi in a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, titled Dhadak 2.[41]

In the media

Dimri was featured by Forbes Asia in their 30 Under 30 list of 2021.[2] She ranked 8th in Rediff.com's list of Bollywood Best Actresses of 2020.[42] She ranked 20th in The Times of India's 50 Most Desirable Women List of 2020.[43]
