Meghna Gulzar

The High Court verdict in the Aarushi case was as much a victory for the Talwars, as it was for Vishal Bharadwaj and Meghna Gulzar, the writer and director of Talvar (2016), who had argued against the murdered girl's parents' conviction. Meghna returns on the screen with the Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal starrer, Raazi — a period spy thriller, set in Kashmir. Sincerely hope this proves victorious among audiences just as much.

Rajkumar Hirani

The king of Bollywood's 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' comedy steps out of his comfort zone with Sanjay Dutt's biopic. Abhijat Joshi was very much by his side, co-writing the script. As was Dutt himself. The film chronicles the rise and fall of Bandra's most intriguing 'rockstar'. And going by leaked images, no one, we suspect, can crack this part better than the young Pali Hill pal/neighbour, Ranbir Kapoor. Can't wait for this one already.
