[1] She began her career as a singer in Disney India's reality show Big Bada Boom (2010) and transitioned to acting with the channel's sitcoms The Suite Life of Karan & Kabir (2012) and Oye Jassie (2013).

[10][11] Sutaria was among two actresses selected for the part of Princess Jasmine in the American fantasy film Aladdin (2019), but lost the role to Naomi Scott.

Reviewing the film for The Indian Express, Shubhra Gupta wrote, "Tara Sutaria is perfectly put together and yet looks assembly-line produced".

[15] Later in 2019, Sutaria played the role of Zoya, a mute music teacher, alongside Sidharth Malhotra, Riteish Deshmukh and Rakul Preet Singh, in Milap Zaveri's action film Marjaavaan.

[17] In a scathing review for The Hindu, Namrata Joshi found the film to be "loud, overcooked and overdone" and wrote that Sutaria was reduced to "smiling and weeping alternately".

[18] In 2021 Sutaria and debutante Ahan Shetty starred in the Milan Luthria directed romantic thriller Tadap, a remake of Telugu film RX 100 (2018).

[20] Rachana Dubey of Times of India wrote, "Tadap unabashedly plays to the gallery with action, music, and well-shot visuals, she further praised the performances of Shetty, Sutaria and Shukla.

In her first release of 2022, she reunited with Shroff in Ahmed Khan's actioner Heropanti 2[24] which received negative reviews from critics with Saibal Chaterjee from NDTV stating, “Tara Sutaria is as clueless as the screenplay writer about the manner in which the character should be projected.”[25] It was a major commercial failure at the box office.

[32][33] Keen to showcase her acting skills, Sutaria played the eponymous role in the crime thriller Apurva (2023), which released on Disney+ Hotstar to mixed reviews from critics.
