Ajay Devgn FFilmsDirected By: Leena Yadav

However, despite the abuse these women suffer, their victimhood does not form the crux of the story, instead, the focus remains on Yadav’s love for these characters.
8. Dear Zindagi (2016)

Flying Unicorn Entertainment / NetflixDirected By: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari
Ashwiny’s story is part of an anthology that pes into themes of loneliness and human connection. Abhishek Banerjee plays the role of a garment salesman who falls in love with a mannequin, thereby succumbing to his drudgery. This is one of the most unique stories I have ever come across.
10. Gali (2017)

Hassanwalia and Farooqui’s documentary is an intimate love letter to the subversive culture of hip-hop and b-boying in the heart of the national capital, Delhi.
11. Lust Stories (2018)
RSVP Movies / NetflixDirected By: Zoya Akhtar
Zoya Akhtar’s contribution to the anthology film, Lust Stories, is a silent gaze at a house-help’s (played by Bhumi Pednekar) sexual relationship with her employer that very loudly shatters the prejudice that the audience holds.
12. Sparsh (1980)
Amazon Prime VideoDirected By: Sai Paranjpye
Sparsh released in 1980 but is way ahead of its time and stands tall in its portrayal of people with disabilities. Told through the lens of the love story between Anirudh (Naseeruddin Shah) and Kavita (Shabana Azmi), it is both a realistic and metaphorical portrayal of darkness and light.
13. Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd (2007)

Six couples, one road-trip, and a honeymoon destination — Goa — this multi-starrer romantic comedy captures different shades of love and makes for an instant classic.

Anvita Dutt has this uniqueness when it comes to capturing her leading lady. Tripti Dimri plays the role of a child-bride who grows up to be a matriarch, but, behind the rose-tinted glasses lurk the hauntings of the past.
