Meghna Gulzar

Meghna Gulzar, whose latest film Raazi has entered the Rs 100 crore club, says box office validation is as important as critical acclaim for a filmmaker. Raazi, starring Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal in lead roles, has been hailed for the performance by its principal cast, the tight screenplay, written by Meghna and Bhavani Iyer and Meghna's direction. Having seen a lukewarm response to her films such as her debut film Filhaal and Just Married, Meghna said she realised that for a director to be able to make the film that he or she wants to, box-office success matters a lot.
