In 2010, Fernandez appeared opposite Deshmukh in the science fiction romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She was cast as a girl from Venus, who lands on Earth in search of love.[19] The film, along with Fernandez's performance, received poor reviews; Rediff.com's Sukanya Verma noted: "She gamely makes a fool of herself whilst aping the actions of movie stars, ranging from Sridevi's Naagin dance, Mithun Chakravarthy's Disco Dancer moves, to Big B's violent headshake in Hum. Her Tara could be a keeper if only Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai wasn't so intent on turning her into a love-struck Barbie."[24] Critic Anupama Chopra also criticized Fernandez, calling her "a pin-prick on a balloon".[25] Later that year, she made a special appearance in the song "Dhanno" for Sajid Khan's comedy Housefull.[26]

Mahesh Bhatt's thriller Murder 2 was Fernandez's first commercial success and marked a turning point in her career.[27][28][29] She took on the role of Priya, a lonely model who is in a confused relationship with Arjun Bhagwat (played by Emraan Hashmi). Fernandez was praised for her performance, and for the boldness and sex appeal she displayed in the film.[30] Gaurav Malini of The Times of India stated that she was "tastefully tempting" but noted that her romance with Hashmi was "literally half-baked".[31] The following year, Fernandez appeared in the ensemble comedy Housefull 2 alongside Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, and Asin. It became one of the top grossing productions of India that year and earned ₹1.86 billion (US$23 million) worldwide. Fernandez received mostly negative reviews for her performance.

Fernandez's first release of 2013 was Race 2, an ensemble action thriller (alongside Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham and Deepika Padukone), described as the "cinematic equivalent of a trashy novel" by critic Rajeev Masand.[35] She played Omisha, a femme fatale, a role which required her learn fencing and some acrobatics.[36] The film emerged as a commercial success,[37][38] with the worldwide gross of more than ₹1.8 billion (US$23 million) and a net domestically of over ₹1 billion (US$13 million).[39][40] In a particularly scathing review, Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote that both Fernandez and Padukone "strut around like wound-up automatons that are all decked-up but have nowhere to go."[41] Also that year, Fernandez appeared in an item number, titled, "Jaadu Ki Jhappi", for Prabhu Deva's romantic comedy Ramaiya Vastavaiya.[42]

Jha noted that she: "...in a limited role gives her finest emotive shot",[57] while critic Raja Sen remarked: "[she] plays Kumar's long-sobbing wife who gets so deliriously happy on seeing a text message that it may well have contained news about a Kick sequel."[58] Later that year, she starred in the horror thriller Definition of Fear, which marked her Hollywood debut.[59]
