Deepika's streak with Republic Day Weekend began in 2013 with the release of Race 2, a year that stood as her most successful period. Akin to SRK's box office dominance in 2023, Deepika delivered four consecutive hits Race 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express, and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela in 2023.
In 2018, Deepika starred in Padmaavat, which faced numerous hurdles, including controversies, bans in four states, and intense protests by fringe groups. Despite these adversities, upon its release on January 25, 2018, the film emerged as a blockbuster, defying all odds.
Her portrayal of ISI agent Rubai in Pathaan, released on January 25, 2023, added to Deepika's streak of impactful Republic Day Weekend releases. While the excitement to witness Shah Rukh Khan's return after a four-year hiatus contributed significantly to Pathaan's success, Deepika's performance undeniably added to the film's allure.
