Debut and initial struggle (1989—1991)

Sengupta made her screen debut opposite Kushal Chakraborty in the Bengali fantasy TV series Shwet Kapot (1989) broadcast on DD Bangla.[16] Chakraborty's sister Anindita Paul was her classmate.[17] [18] After her Secondary Examination, she was insisted by Anindita to appear for a screen test for a role opposite Chakraborty in the TV series.[19] The work was an adaptation of the Danish fairy tale The White Dove. She had to play an imprisoned princess shapeshifting into a white dove who falls in love with an imprisoned prince played by Chakraborty. Initially her father made objection against her pursuing the role but then gave his consent since the role demanded two-day shoot. Due to Chakraborty's stardom, the sitcom grabbed the attention of media personalities.

In 1990, she accepted a role in Ramen Adhikari's Bengali sitcom Hortoner Golam that featured Kaushik Banerjee as the protagonist. It is based on Monilal Ganguly's Bengali story of the same name. In the same year she became a part of Kalpurush, a popular TV series produced by Teleframe.[20] Based on Samaresh Majumdar's widely acclaimed novel of the same name, the series was directed by Raja Dasgupta.[21]

Vijay Bhaskar proposed Sengupta to star opposite Bijay Mohanty in his Odia film Kotia Manish Gotiye Jaga (1991).[22] It manifests conflict based on the political sabotage in Sujanpur. Mohanty played the protagonist Jagan Das, an aspiring politician who subdues Naga, the powerful MLA of Sujanpur. She played Radha, the love interest of Jagan.

Breakthrough and success (1992—2007)

She featured opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee in Bhijoy Bhaskar's Nag Panchami (1994)[25] and Chiranjeet Chakraborty in Prashanta Nanda's Laal Paan Bibi (1994).

Sreelekha Mitra claimed that Sengupta had an extramarital affair with Chatterjee, which helped her get most of the female leads opposite Chatterjee.[31] She featured opposite Chatterjee in a string of commercially successful Bengali films such as Abujh Mon (1996), Matir Manush (1997), Mayar Badhon (1997), Moner Manush (1997), Pabitra Papi (1997), Samadhan (1997), Tomake Chai (1997), Baba Keno Chakar (1998), Praner Cheye Priyo (1998), Daay Dayitwa (1999), Madhu Malati (1999), Sindur Khela (1999), Sudhu Ekbar Bolo (1999), Tumi Ele Tai (1999), Aasroy (2000), Madhur Milan (2000) and Sasurbari Zindabad (2000) to name a few.

She featured opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee in Praktan (2016).[52]

The poster for the Amitabh Bhattacharjee starrer jatra, Ekaler Karnaarjun (2017) claimed Sengupta to be the director.

The Times of India wrote on her performance, "she shows the compassionate side of her character nicely, the unemotional and professional psychiatrist goes missing every now and then."[62] The film became another box office debacle.[63] She played Kabita, an actress in Alamgir's Ekti Cinemar Golpo (2018).[64] Viewers disliked her romantic collaboration with Arifin Shuvoo who is almost 15 years younger than her.[65] Her performance in the film was deprecated by critics.[66] [67] The film became a major financial disaster.[68]

You have to see Sengupta in Ahaa Re to believe how much this is true. Every single frame of her cooking a dish, or even preparing to do so, is filled with so much love. Almost as if she is in a silent worship. Love, nourishment, gentleness, fondness – she defines these words with her performance. Her Basundhara is a woman who does not wear her emotions on her sleeves, but there is a scene towards the end of the film, when she can’t take it anymore and just breaks down. Keep your handkerchiefs ready.[77] Asianmoviepulse.com wrote in their review: "Rituparna Sengupta is a splendid actor and portrays the character of Basundhara with subtle emotional traits. The character goes through different shades and the director uses many close shots to capture her facial expressions perfectly." .[78]

In 2020 Sengupta starred in the Thriller The Parcel which was well received by critics and audiences. Bhaskar Chattophadhyay from Firstpost gave the film a positive review and called Senguptas performance brilliant: "The performances are superlative, though. Rituparna Sengupta is a strange mix of someone resigned to her fate in some matters, and at the same time, someone who can go to any extent to prevent any harm that might come to her family. By now, I am so used to seeing her excel in her roles, that I often commit the grave crime of overlooking the immense difficulties in playing a character as complicated as the one she does in this film. I am inclined to see that the lion's share of Parcel lies on her shoulders, and she is effortlessly brilliant in it.[79] Rossini Sarkar from Cinestaan wrote in her review: Rituparna Sengupta carries the film on her shoulders, gradually creating her state of depression through perpetual tension, unreasonable outbursts and a haggard look. Her expressions in close-up are outstanding.[80]

In 2022, Sengupta appeared in Belashuru, the sequel to the popular family drama Belasheshe. She will also be starring in her new women-centric crime thriller, Antardrishti directed by Kabir Lal. The latter is shot in four languages wherein Sengupta plays a double role in the Bengali version.[81] Sengupta starred in the role of Bijaya in Nirmal Chakraborty's Datta based on Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's novel of the same name.

Roy cast Sengupta as the female lead in her directorial venture Om Shanti (2012). Both the actresses were interrogated whether their professional rivalry would affect the making of the film. Both of them denied such rivalry. Sengupta later claimed that she had been given lesser importance in the poster of the film while Roy said that the former's grievance is meaningless. Sengupta was absent at the premier show of the film, which generated the speculation in the media that the duo were no longer in talking terms.
