In 2019, Malhotra appeared in Ritesh Batra’s Photograph. The film follows a street photographer Rafi, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who tries to convince a student Miloni (Malhotra) to pose as his fiancée so that his grandmother stops pressuring him to get married. It was screened at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival. The Hollywood Reporter featured her in their listing of “breakout talent” from the latter festival. Rahul Desai of Film Companion gave Photograph a positive review and wrote that Malhotra “becomes the dreamy-eyed participant that enables the film to embrace its quiet glances and gentle flights of fantasy.” Malhotra was nominated for the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for the film.
Malhotra’s next three films—the 2020 biographical film Shakuntala Devi, the 2020 anthology film Ludo and the 2021 comedy Pagglait—were initially planned for theatrical release. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, all three were decided to be directly streamed online instead, the first on Amazon Prime Video and the others on Netflix. Her first film of the year was Shakuntala Devi, directed by Anu Menon. The film is about the life of the mathematician of the same name and featured Vidya Balan in the titular role, with Malhotra portraying Devi’s daughter Anupama. Mike McCahill of The Guardian found Malhotra to be “quietly affecting” in her part and commended her for holding her own opposite her co-star. Anurag Basu’s anthology film, Ludo, that featured an ensemble cast of Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Pankaj Tripathi, was her other release that year. Pagglait, which also stars Sayani Gupta, Ashutosh Rana, Raghubir Yadav and Shruti Sharma, began streaming on Netflix on 26 March 2021.
Malhotra’s next film after Pagglait will be the rom-com Meenakshi Sundareshwar, a Netflix original film and her third consecutive film to be released there. Directed by newcomer Vivek Soni, which she will be seen opposite Abhimanyu Dassani. She is currently busy shooting for Love Hostel alongside Vikrant Massey and Bobby Deol.
