Kaif's feature film debut was in Kaizad Gustad's box office flop Boom (2003), after which Kaif was written off due to her poor Hindi and thick British accent. She then starred as the titular character in the successful Telugu film Malliswari. After a small role in Sarkar (2005), Kaif found commercial success in Bollywood with the romantic comedy Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? (2005), in which Kaif received her first acting award — the Stardust Award for Breakthrough Performance – Female; this proved to be her breakthrough in Hindi cinema. In 2007, Kaif received critical praise for her performance in Namastey London (2007). This was followed by a string of box office hits in which Kaif was often cast in glamorous roles.
