Five Contemporary Women Directors to Watch out For
We tip our hat to this woman for gifting us a fabulous comeback by Sridevi in English Vinglish. And how has she followed up the success of her first film with a stellar second starring Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan in Dear Zindagi. Gauri knows how to weave magic with the simplest of stories.
She made a silent but impactful debut with the sleeper hit, Nil Battey Sannata that starred Swara Bhaskar. Though she is yet to make it to the awards, the talented filmmaker has already started work on her second film, Bareilly Ki Barfi with Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao and Kriti Sanon.
Though her directorial debut A Death in the Goonj is yet to release, the fact that she is a versatile actress herself and the daughter to noted director Aparna Sen, there shall be no doubt about the fact that Koko will excel as a director too.
The powerhouse feminist sister of the multi-talented Farhan Akhtar, Zoya is not just a gifted director, she is also extremely opinionated. Luck by Chance, Zindagi Na MIlegi Dobara and Dil Dhadakne Do are mere reflections of her beautiful personality.
Not only is she a brilliant director, but is also a maverick scriptwriter. Her Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd and Talaash boasted of great stories and entertainment intact.
In a largely male-dominant industry, its a rarity when women directors helm projects and that becomes a boon for actresses because they know that their parts will not be compromised with. Citing the brilliant examples set by these five directors, you can be sure that their stories will boast of creativity and entertainment. Take a look.
