She then featured in Tapas Chandra's "Anubhav" (2009). The film is based on a short story by Dibyendu Palit. She plays Purnima who tries to rescue the women mired in the profession of prostitution. The film became a box office debacle. She was appreciated for her performance in Goutam Sen's Bengali feature film "Pakhi" (2009). The Times of India wrote, "Debasree Roy gives a stellar performance with her act of a blind girl." The Telegraph wrote, "Debasree stands out as a sensitive, vulnerable woman who secretly nurses a sense of betrayal." The film failed to create any ripples at the box office. She featured in "Rahasya — The Bhoutik". The film was a major critical failure.
