Dinshaw Billimoria made his debut in 1925 in N. D. Sarpotdar's mythological-historical film Chhatrapati Sambhaji.

At the end of the silent film era from 1927 to 1929 and in the early talkies in India from 1933 to 1939, Billimoria and Sulochana formed a popular romantic lead, which delighted a broad audience, especially in romantic dramas by R. S. Choudhury.

Billimoria was considered the highest paid silent movie star in India.

After 1932, they shot talkies remakes of several of the silent film hits, among them Anarkali (1935) and Bambai Ki Billi/Wildcat of Bombay (1936).

Billimoria probably directed two films in 1940 and 1942; but Azadi-e-Watan (1940) may be a dubbed version of a US import.
