Sen Sharma's performance as a Tamil housewife and her mastery of the accent received universal acclaim and earned her the National Film Award for Best Actress.[12] Praising her performance in the film, Filmfare wrote, "What's special about her performance as Meenakshi Iyer is not the effort she put into it as much as the apparent lack of it. [...] Be it her squabbling with the urbane photographer Jehangir Chaudhary or her gently reprimanding him about how her name is pronounced ('It's Mee-naa-kshi not Minakshi') or even when she is screaming at her infant, you believe it's Meenakshi you’ve met. And therein lies the key to her iconic performance."[13] Her performance was later included in the 2010 issue of the "Top 80 Iconic Performances" by Filmfare.[14]
In 2004, she worked in an independent English language film titled Chai Pani Etc..., made by independent maker Manu Rewal.[15] The film drew huge response at the 35th International Film Festival of India[16] but had a delayed theatrical release a year later and became a box office disaster.[17]

The same year, she also starred alongside Waheeda Rehman, Shabana Azmi and Bose in her mother's directorial 15 Park Avenue, which saw her play a mentally-ill woman, which also earned her critical praise, despite the film's commercial failure.[19]
Sen Sharma was next offered the lead role in Mira Nair's Hollywood drama The Namesake (2007), but owing to clashing dates with other films, she could not commit to the project.[20] Following a critically-acclaimed performance as a mentally-ill woman in the drama 15 Park Avenue (2006), she portrayed a middle-aged village woman who unknowingly becomes a pawn in her husband's scheme in Vishal Bhardwaj's crime drama Omkara (2006). Starring an ensemble cast of Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi and Bipasha Basu alongside Sen Sharma, the film opened to widespread critical acclaim, with high praise for her performance.

In the latter half of 2007, Sen Sharma starred in two films under the Yash Raj Films banner – the women-centric drama Laaga Chunari Mein Daag and the musical drama Aaja Nachle.

The film received mixed-to-negative reviews, but praise was directed to her performance, with Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN noting her performance in the film as being "...nothing short of fantastic. Her greatest strength is that she isn't afraid of making a fool of herself and she doesn't worry about being laughed at.

It received positive reviews from critics upon release, with particular praise for Sen Sharma's performance. Nikhat Kazmi from The Times of India wrote, "Performance-wise, it's the uptight and complex-ridden Sen Sharma who walks away with laurels and laughs even as the film takes a healthy snigger at the desi self."[32]

Here's another winning performance from this incredible performer!"[38] The New York Times wrote, "Ms. Sen Sharma has made a specialty of characters like Aisha: independent urban women, whose dreams involve careers as well as love. Her Aisha is a nuanced creation — ambitious, sympathetic, believable — and Mr. Mukerji, making his directing debut, is right to let her run away with the film."[39] The film emerged as a commercial success at the box-office, grossing ₹471 million worldwide.[40]
In June 2009, Sen Sharma starred onstage first time at Atul Kumar's The Blue Mug alongside Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey and Sheeba Chadha.[41][42] In 2010, the play was toured around the nation and abroad.Template:Citation needed In 2010, Sen Sharma starred as a working woman in Ashwani Dheer's comedy Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge alongside Ajay Devgan and Paresh Rawal.[43] and as a lawyer in Neeraj Pathak's Right Yaa Wrong.
