[[File:Esha Deol.jpg|thumbnail|Deol at an event]]

This movie was a box office failure. Deol received mixed reactions from critics upon her performance.

Deol's second film was Arjun Sablok's [[love triangle]] ''[[Na Tum Jaano Na Hum]]'' opposite [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Hrithik Roshan]]. [[Taran Adarsh]] of [[Bollywood Hungama|IndiaFm]] praised her acting and wrote "it is Esha Deol who surprises you with a mature performance. Although her looks are inconsistent, the youngster takes on the role with utmost sincerity and comes out with a natural performance. She has been better presented when compared to her debut film."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/201576 |title=Na Tum Jaano Na Hum Review |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama|IndiaFm]] |access-date=6 November 2012 |author=Taran Adarsh |date=9 May 2002 |author-link=Taran Adarsh}}</ref> Bhavna Giani of Rediff praised Deol's acting and dancing and compared it to Deol's mother [[Hema Malini]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Hrithik, Esha need no reason to fall in love |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2002/may/10na.htm |publisher=[[Rediff]] |access-date=6 November 2012 |author=Bhavna Giani |date=10 May 2002}}</ref> Deol's third and final release of the year was [[Sanjay Chhel]]'s ''[[Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa]]'' opposite [[Tusshar Kapoor]].

Deol's first two movies of 2003: ''[[Kucch To Hai]]'' and ''[[Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne]]'' were box office failures. For ''Kucch To Hai'', Deol earned mixed reviews from Taran Adarsh, who wrote "Esha Deol shows improvement in terms of performance as well as her overall appearance."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/54539 |title=Kucch To Hai Review |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama|IndiaFm]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Taran Adarsh |date=24 January 2003 |author-link=Taran Adarsh}}</ref> Taran Adarsh considered Deol to be "alright" in ''Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/510911 |title=Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne Review |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama|IndiaFm]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Taran Adarsh |date=24 March 2003 |author-link=Taran Adarsh}}</ref>
 
Deol was one of the heroines of [[J.P. Dutta]]'s multi starrer [[war film|war epic]] ''[[LOC Kargil]]'' and was paired with [[Abhishek Bachchan]]. Though Deol and all the other heroines could not get much scope, she earned critical acclaim for her performance.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/201799 |title=Loc-Kargil Review |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama|IndiaFm]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Taran Adarsh |date=25 December 2003 |author-link=Taran Adarsh}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Why we can never forget Kargil |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2003/dec/25kargil.htm |publisher=[[Rediff]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Anita Bora |date=25 December 2003}}</ref> The film became the [[List of Bollywood films of 2003|sixth highest-grossing movie]] of the year.<ref>{{cite web |title=Top Earners: Box Office 2003 |url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=209&catName=MjAwMw== |publisher=Boxofficeindia.com |access-date=17 December 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120525225820/http://www.boxofficeindia.com/showProd.php?itemCat=209&catName=MjAwMw== |archive-date=25 May 2012}}</ref>
 
===Breakthrough and success (2004–2008)===
In 2004, Deol made her debut in [[Cinema of Tamil Nadu|Tamil cinema]] by playing a French teacher in [[Mani Ratnam]]'s [[political film]] ''[[Aaytha Ezhuthu]]'' opposite [[Suriya (actor)|Suriya]]. She earned critical acclaim for her performance. Sify.com defined her as "surprisingly fresh and sparkling".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/aayitha-ezhuthu-review-tamil-13480221.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926184147/http://www.sify.com/movies/aayitha-ezhuthu-review-tamil-13480221.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=26 September 2013 |title=Movie Review: Aayitha Ezhuthu |publisher=Sify.com |work=Moviebuzz |access-date=17 December 2012}}</ref> To prepare for her role, Deol learned nuances of the language with Mani Ratnam's assistant [[R. Kannan]]. This was the only Tamil film she ever acted in. After completing ''Aaytha Ezhuthu'', Deol started filming the Hindi version of the movie titled ''[[Yuva]]''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2004/may/19esha.htm |title='I am today's woman -- very independent, very bindaas' |date=19 May 2004 |publisher=[[Rediff]] |access-date=17 December 2012}}</ref> In ''Yuva'', Deol repeated the same role and was paired opposite [[Ajay Devgn]].

[[File:EshaDeol.jpg|thumbnail|Esha at promotion of her film]]
Deol finally got her breakthrough with [[Yash Raj Films]]' [[action film]] ''[[Dhoom]]'' opposite Abhishek Bachchan, [[John Abraham (actor)|John Abraham]], [[Uday Chopra]] and [[Rimi Sen]]. It was Deol's first action role and she was paired opposite Chopra. The film had a decent opening and became a hit at the box office, becoming the [[List of Bollywood films of 2004|fourth-highest-grossing film of the year]].<ref name="Box Office 2004" /> Deol did not get much scope in the film, but her performance earned her a nomination for the [[IIFA Award for Best Supporting Actress]] at the [[6th IIFA Awards]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Awards for Esha Deol |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0219968/awards |publisher=[[Internet Movie Database|IMDB]] |access-date=17 December 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Awards of the International Indian Film Academy (2005) |url=https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000361/2005 |publisher=[[Internet Movie Database|IMDB]] |access-date=17 December 2012}}</ref>
 
After the success of ''Dhoom'', Deol starred in [[Krishna Vamsi]]'s war film ''[[Insan]]'' opposite [[Akshay Kumar]]. It was Deol's first release of 2005. The film was a failure at the box office. Her next release was ''[[Main Aisa Hi Hoon]]'' opposite [[Ajay Devgn]]. The film was a remake of the [[Hollywood (film industry)|Hollywood]] movie ''[[I Am Sam]]'' (2001). Deol played a supporting role and earned praise by Patcy N.<ref>{{cite web |title=Main Aisa Hi Hoon: worth a miss! |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/may/06aisa.htm |publisher=[[Rediff]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Patcy N |date=6 May 2005}}</ref> Subhash K. Jha of ''[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]]'' also praised Deol, writing: "Esha Deol as the fey unstable nomadic and maladjusted Maya is a mix of Zeenat Aman in ''Hare Rama Hare Krishna'' and Anooradha Patel in ''Ijaazat''. Playing this zonked-out character Esha Deol comes into her own as an actress. Her far-way looks of pain, anger, neglect and insecurity remain with you long after the film. Yup she too has matured along with Hindi cinema."<ref>{{cite web |title=Main Aisa Hi Hoon Movie Review |url=http://www.glamsham.com/movies/reviews/mahh.asp |publisher=Glamsham |work=[[Indo-Asian News Service|IANS]] |access-date=17 December 2012 |author=Subhash K.
