Her first movie was the Hindi film Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, directed by Priyadarshan, opposite Akshaye Khanna. Though the film did not do well at the box office, she was noticed by the Tamil and Telugu industry. She proceeded to act in Kollywood, where she debuted in a guest appearance in Vaali.

Her last films are Pachaikili Muthucharam, Mozhi and Manikanda in 2007 .In Pachaikili Muthuchiram, Jothika essayed a negative role for the first time. Her last movie Mozhi, in which she played the role of a self confident, strong and brave mute and deaf girl, was a huge success, and her performance as Archana is considered as her best ever performance.
