She impresses with her dancing skills too. This will surely be a talked-about performance from her career, even after decades."[17]

In 2013, Kulkarni was seen in Mahesh Kothare's Zapatlela 2, the sequel to Zapatlela (1993), opposite Adinath Kothare. The film received mixed reviews but was a box office success.

Hirkani, the historical drama directed by Prasad Oak about a brave woman and an amazing mother who lived near the Raigad Fort in Maharashtra during the regime Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.[35] Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India asserted, "The one thing that stands out about the film is Sonalee's performance. The actress sheds her glam image and delivers a beautiful performance, so much that you start associating her with the real character that the movie is based on."[36] The film was a huge commercial success with grossing over ₹12 crore at the box office. Kulkarni received Filmfare Critics Award, Sakaal Premier Awards and Maharashtracha Favourite Kon in Best Actress catory.[37] Her next release, Vicky Velingkar, a comic book artist and a clock seller gets entangled in an unexpected mystery and rises against all odds.
