Sinha's first film of 2013 was Vikramaditya Motwane's period romantic drama Lootera, placing her opposite Ranveer Singh. Despite receiving a lukewarm response at the box office, the film received positive reviews, with Sinha's portrayal of Pakhi, a Bengali girl who is dying of tuberculosis, receiving widespread acclaim from critics.
Sarita Tanwar notes that "the star of the film is undoubtedly Sinha [who gives] a mature and refined performance. She lives the character body and soul." Raja Sen agrees, saying that "Sinha plays Pakhi beautifully, creating a character who is immaculately wide-eyed and possesses casual, yet unmistakable, grace.
It is a performance that starts off dreamily soft and turns harder, and she does well-etched dialogue justice like few actresses can.
There's a discernible vulnerability to Pakhi throughout the film, and Sinha brings out this fragility perfectly without ever overplaying it." She next appeared in Milan Luthria's crime romance film Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara! in which she was paired with Akshay Kumar again, as well as Imran Khan.
The movie was a commercial disappointment, and critic Mohar Basu labeled her "a chatterbox replete with idioticity which the director frames as naiveness." Sinha then appeared in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Bullett Raja opposite Saif Ali Khan, which was a box office flop. Her final release of the year was Prabhu Deva's R... Rajkumar opposite Shahid Kapoor.
Despite its moderate commercial success, the film and her performance received negative reviews. Taran Adarsh labeled her "repetitive" and noted that she needed to "reinvent herself." For the song Gandi Baat in R... Rajkumar, Sinha refused to wear a bikini while emerging from the pool of water out of comfort and respect.
Instead, Sinha wore a saree for that sequence of the song.
Education
Sonakshi completed her schooling at the Arya Vidya Mandir in Mumbai and later graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Designing from Shreemati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey Women's University, Mumbai. Her educational background plays a vital role in shaping her career choices and her sense of style, both on screen and off.
In 2015, she appeared in Boney Kapoor's remake of Okkadu, titled Tevar, opposite Arjun Kapoor. In his review, Rajeev Masand wrote: "Sonakshi Sinha, playing another simpering damsel in another South remake, once again has nothing to do.
She appears content showing up for a few dance numbers, and waiting around for a man to save her." Tevar underperformed at the box office and was one of the biggest flops of the year. Sonakshi released her debut single Aaj Mood Ishqholic Hai in collaboration with Meet Bros on 23 December 2015.
The following year, Sinha starred in the remake of the 2011 Tamil film Mouna Guru, entitled Akira. The film was an action-drama from director AR Murugadoss in which she played an aggressive college student. It initially recovered 15.5 crore and went on to make over 33+ crore on box office, becoming an average grosser.
Then she appeared in Abhinay Deo's action-thriller Force 2 opposite John Abraham. The film, made on a low budget, grossed over 58.75 crore and was declared an average grosser. Though Sinha's character was labeled as an unformed agent, her performance received some acclaim.
