In 2004, Takia played her first leading role as Priya Kapoor in Abbas-Mustan's supernatural action thriller film Taarzan: The Wonder Car alongside debutante Vatsal Sheth. Loosely based on comdey drama Christine (1983), the film turned out to be financially unsuccessful. However, she was praised for glamorous appearance in the film.[12] Takia portrayal earned her Filmfare Best Female Debut Award (2005) and IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Female (2005).[13] Takia next starred alongside Shahid Kapoor in the multi-starrer romantic comedy Dil Maange More!!! (2004). Takia's role as a dominant, combative girl named Shagun earned her two nominations viz. Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Female and Zee Cine Award for Best Female Debut. The film became unsuccessful at the box office, however proving to be a breakthrough as it boosted the careers of Takia and Kapoor.

In 2004, Takia starred in three films. Her first release of the year was writer-director Imtiaz Ali's romantic comedy Socha Na Tha. Besides being Imtiaz Ali's first film as a director, Socha Na Tha also marked Abhay Deol's acting debut. Upon release it received positive reviews from critics: Patcy N for Rediff.com wrote, "Ayesha Takia is a sweet, energetic actress, but her role does not require too much acting skill".[14] However, the movie was an average grosser at the box-office and earned around ₹3.43 crore (US$430,000) worldwide.[15] Takia next co-starred David Dhawan's multi-starrer comedy Shaadi No. 1, opposite Fardeen Khan. The film which illustrates the story of three couples featured an ensemble cast (Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Zayed Khan, Sharman Joshi, Esha Deol, and Soha Ali Khan). The film received a positive response from critics, and also did well at the box office. Made on a budget of ₹5 crore (US$630,000), it earned around ₹12 crore (US$1.5 million) worldwide. She then appeared in the Sujoy Ghosh's comedy drama Home Delivery, which was also her last release of 2004. The film received negative reviews, with criticism aimed at the unoriginal plot and humor, and underperformed at the box office. Nonetheless, Takia was praised for her role. The Hindu wrote, "In the film, role played by Ayesha Takia, is the other attraction of the storyline".

In 2005, Takia made her debut in South Indian cinema in the Telugu-language action heist Super alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni. The film was a financial success but received mixed response by the critics. B. Anuradha for Rediff.com wrote, "Ayesha debuts in Telugu films with a glamorous role".[16] Indiaglitz wrote, "Ayesha is cool and chic. Her angles and curves provide all the glamour and keep you engrossed".[17] Her performance as a doctor named Siri Valli earned her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu nomination at 53rd Filmfare Awards South. The film was also later dubbed and released in Hindi as Robbery.

Few success and setback

In 2006, Takia appeared in Satish Kaushik's comedy Shaadi Se Pehle. Loosely influenced of an old Hindi movie, Meri Biwi Ki Shaadi, it opened to predominantly negative reviews. Released on 6 April 2006, the film eventually under-performed at the box office grossing ₹16 crore (US$2.0 million) worldwide. Rajeev Masand described her performance as, "Ayesha Takia has precious little to do, and that's a pity because she's such a spontaneous actress".[18] She next played the protagonist in Naseeruddin Shah-directed drama Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota (2006), co-starring alongside an ensemble cast Konkona Sen Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Jimmy Sheirgill, Paresh Rawal, and Boman Irani. Set in the United States, the film follows the story of group of individuals who eventually become interwind with 9/11. Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota earned little at the box office and received mixed reviews.

Later in the same year, Takia played the part of a Rajasthani Hindu woman in Nagesh Kukunoor's drama Dor. The film also features Gul Panag and Shreyas Talpade as the lead actors. An official adaptation of the Malayalam film, Perumazhakkalam (2004), the film tells story of a widow woman. It did perform well commercially. The Times of India cited, "Apart from the unusual plot, it is Ayesha Takia who simply blows your breath away".

Takia has appeared in a number of films that did poorly at the box office. However, she has been highly praised for her work in the 2006 Dor, a smaller budget film in which she plays the role of a young widowed Rajasthani woman living in a traditional joint family. She went on to win several awards for her performance in the film, including the Zee Cine Critics Award for Best Actress.[19]

Apart from Bollywood, Takia has also appeared in the 2005 Telugu film Super, with Tollywood star Nagarjuna, for which she was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu.

Her highest commercial hit was Prabhu Deva's Wanted, co-starring Salman Khan, which emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of 2009. The film was the third-highest-grossing movie of the year and her role met with positive reviews. In 2011, she starred in Mod, which met with a good response.[20] In 2012, she hosted the only season of musical-reality show Sur Kshetra.[21]
