She later appeared in Mehul Kumar's Krantiveer, alongside Nana Patekar. She played journalist Meghna Dixit, a past rape victim who now tries to persuade an alcoholic and unemployed village man to be a champion of justice for those around him. Kapadia later called the film "out and out a Nana Patekar vessel," but asserted, "I had my share too," crediting the part with allowing her "the freedom to perform".[38] The film became an economic success, emerging as India's third-highest grossing picture of the year.[39] For her performance, Kapadia received her fourth Filmfare Award, this time in the Best Supporting Actress category. Mrinal Sen's 1995 Bengali drama Antareen was the first non-Hindi project Kapadia took part in since Vikram (1986). She played a woman caught in a loveless marriage. Her collaboration with Sen was described as "a high point in her career". Insisting to play her part spontaneously, Kapadia did not do a crash-course in Bengali, as she felt she would be able to pick the right diction.[14] Her voice was eventually dubbed by actor Anushua Chatterjee, something Kapadia was unhappy with.[40]
Following Antareen, Kapadia, who was reportedly expected to work in more independent films, took a three-year hiatus from acting, later explaining that she was "emotionally exhausted".[41] She returned to film in 1997 back in commercial cinema, but the few films she did until the end of the decade met with neither mainstream nor critical success. Her first release in 1997 was the action film Agnichakra, which went unnoticed. She played Amitabh Bachchan's wife in that same year's Mrityudaata, once again under Mehul Kumar's direction. The film was a critical and commercial failure, with India Today panning its "comic book-level storytelling".[42] Trade journal Film Information wrote Kapadia had "no role worth her", and she herself shared similar sentiments.[8][43]
She appeared in Laawaris (1999) because she liked the subject and considered her role "substantial", which Rediff.com, in turn, described as another preachy "woman of substance", while criticising the film for its lack of originality: "...working a worked-to-death formula, [the film] falls flat on its face.[44] This was followed by the final feature she appeared in during the decade, Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain, in which she played the part of Devyani, the strict mother of a wealthy family. Subhash K. Jha called the film an "embarrassment",[45] critic Suparn Verma, in a scathing review, criticised Kapadia's performance, noting that she "wears a permanent scowl" throughout the film, and Bella Jaisinghani of The Indian Express, calling the film "inconsequential", concluded her review writing that she wonders "what made Dimple Kapadia do this to herself".[46][47]

She co-starred in Farhan Akhtar's directorial debut Dil Chahta Hai (2001). Depicting the contemporary routine life of Indian affluent youth, it is set in modern-day urban Mumbai and focuses on a major period of transition in the lives of three young friends (Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna).[48] Kapadia played the role of Tara Jaiswal, a middle-aged alcoholic woman, an interior designer by profession, and a divorcee who is not allowed to meet with her daughter. The film presents her story through the character of Siddharth (Khanna), a much younger man whom she befriends and who ultimately falls deeply in love with her. She said making the picture was an "enriching" experience and called her part "a role to die for".[45] Critics lauded Dil Chahta Hai as a groundbreaking film for its realistic portrayal of Indian youth. The film performed well in the big cities but failed in the rural areas, which was attributed by critics to the urban-oriented lifestyle depicted in the movie.[49][50] Saibal Chatterjee, in a review for Hindustan Times, noted, "Dimple Kapadia, in a brief, somewhat underdeveloped role, presents a poignant study of loneliness."[51]
In 2002, Kapadia portrayed the title role of Leela in Leela, an American production directed by Somnath Sen and co-starring Deepti Naval, Vinod Khanna and Amol Mhatre. Kapadia's part—written specially for her—is that of a forty year-old married woman and a Bombay University professor, who, after the death of her mother, loses her sense of happiness and takes a job as a visiting professor of South Asian studies in California.[41] The story follows Leela's acclimation to her new surroundings and particularly her relationship with one of her students there, Kris (Mhatre), a young Indian-American man. Kapadia noted about working in the film, "While in production, I'm all tensed up, and that is what makes me take my acting to the next level."[31] Maitland McDonagh from TV Guide wrote, "Dimple Kapadia shines in this family melodrama... [her] intelligent, nuanced performance is the film's highlight."[52] Ziya Us Salam from The Hindu called her "a charmer all the way. Exhilarating is the air she breathes, bewitching is the glance she casts and enticingly vulnerable is her condition."[53]
In 2004, she played the lead role of army wife Sandra Williams in Hum Kaun Hai?, a supernatural thriller. The film opened to a mixed critical reception, but Kapadia's performance received positive comments. Subhash K. Jha noted that she "carries the film beyond where it would have been otherwise"; Rama Sharma of The Tribune wrote of her performance, "Dimple lends all her charisma to help the script sail through dead ends. Whether she is scared or scolding children, she has a powerful presence."[54][55] 2005 saw Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor reunite as a lead couple for the third time after Bobby (1973) and Saagar (1985) in Pyaar Mein Twist. They starred as two middle-aged single parents who fall in love and later have to deal with the reaction of their children. The film generated mostly negative reviews, with several critics concurring that the chemistry between the lead pair is what makes the film watchable.[56][57] In a two-star review, Khalid Mohamed called Kapadia "a dream actress", but ultimately concluded, "See this twisteroo if you must, only for the undiminished Kapoor-Kapadia chemistry."[58] Few people went to see the film; within two weeks it was declared a flop.[59]
