Sep 04, 2012 13:53pm

After a series of flop films, Bipasha Basu has high hopes with her supernatural thriller 'Raaz 3D'. Here is a glimpse of Bipasha's Bollywood journey so far...
Bipasha Basu was cast opposite Akshay Kumar in her debut film 'Ajnabee'. She was seen flaunting her sensuous side in the film.
Her next film 'Raaz' opposite Dino Morea became her first Bollywood hit and Bipasha became a household name.
'Chor Machaaye Shor' was completely a wrong career move for Bipasha Basu. She played a glamorous cop in the film.
Dino Morea, Bipasha Basu and Irrfan Khan's 2002 film 'Gunaah' almost went unnoticed at the box office.
Bipasha Basu hit a bull's eye with her bold moves in 2003 film 'Jism'. She was seen romancing her then boyfriend John Abraham in the film.
Directed by Vikram Bhatt, 'Footpath' also failed to attract the audiences. It was Emraan Hashmi's first Bollywood film.
Her highly publicised film 'Rudraksh', which has many references to Ramayana was a commercial failure.
In the beginning of her career, Bipasha Basu didn't choose her films carefully. 'Madhoshi' with John Abraham and Priyanshu Chatterjee is her one of those films.
Directed by Suneel Darshan, Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu's 'Barsaat' was also a box office dud.
When it comes to item numbers, Bipasha Basu is truly unbeatable. In multi-starrer 'No Entry', she grabbed eyeballs with her moves.
Bipasha Basu was seen in a de-glam avatar in Prakash Jha's 'Apaharan'. It turned out to be an above average grosser at the box office.
Though 2006 film 'Phir Hera Pheri' made money at the box office, but her not so impressive look in the film was a let down.
Bipasha Basu returned with a bang with Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Corporate'. Though it failed to match other Bhandarkar films, but Bips earned praises for her performance.
Though Bipasha Basu had a very few scenes in 'Omkara', but her item numbers like 'Namal ishk ka' and 'Bidi Jalayile' turned out to be the USP of the film.
Interestingly, Bipasha played two characters in 'Dhoom 2'. However, she was completely overshadowed by Aishwarya Rai in the film.
In 'Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal', Bipasha Basu again paired up with John Abraham. Their chemistry really worked for the film.
Bipahsa Basu played a model in 'Race'. Her intimate scene with Saif Ali Khan grabbed eyeballs.
Bipasha Basu doesn't mind pairing up with actors who are much younger to her. She looked really stylish in 2008 film 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.
However, the trick didn't work in case of 'Aa Dekhen Zara'. Her film with Neil Nitin Mukesh turned out to be a flop.
Despite mixed reviews, Rohit Shetty's 'All the Best: Fun Begins' turned out to be a hit.
Bipasha Basu's 'Lamhaa' revolves around the problems being faced by the people of Kashmir. She played Sanjay Dutt's love interest in the film.
Bipasha Basu's 'Aakrosh' look was surprising for all. She played a victim of domestic violence in the film. The film failed to get commercial success.
She played an air hostess turned drug addict in 'Dum Maaro Dum'. The film worked at the box-office, but Abhishek Bachchan overshadowed others in the film.
Abbas-Mustan's multi-starrer film 'Players' turned out to be a flop. Bipasha's look and performance in the film was very repetitive.
Her last film 'Jodi Breakers' with Madhavan was a flop too.
