Gully Boy- Gully Boy gives us a feel-good ending where the flawed protagonist goes from rags to riches, as he turns his miserable reality into an almost unbelievable victory against all odds. The popular track, ‘Apna Time Aayega’ summaries the essence of the film. The Ranveer and Alia-starrer was India’s official entry in the foreign film category at the 92nd Academy Awards.

Lust Stories- With Lust Stories, filmmakers — Zoya Akhtar, Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, and Anurag Kashyap forego the trappings of commercial cinema. Zoya does a fantastic job with her segment. Hers is a well-brewed story, one that leaves you discomfited and satiated simultaneously.

Luck By Chance- The movie was a peek into Zoya’s brother Farhan Akthar’s real-life’s philosophy about claiming success rather than waiting for destiny to hand it over. The film was simple and well-executed. No fuss, a lot of truths about the behaviour of the film industry and a straightforward plot.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara- Zoya Akhtar’s bromance chronicles a journey three friends undertake, that changes their lives and their perception of it. The cast includes Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif, Kalki Koechlin — and Javed Akhtar whose poems add depth both add to the characters and the narrative.

Dil Dhadakne Do- The multi-starrer featuring Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar is a story of a dysfunctional family. Zoya takes the problems of upper-class Indian society and turns them into a touching, heart-warming and every bit entertaining family drama about love and relationships.
