Seldom
is
there
a
filmmaker
who
knows
what
works
with
the
audience,
the
best.
Zoya
Akhtar
is
the
one.
She
holds
a
deep
understanding
of
her
craft
and
brings
the
best
of
both
worlds
where
her
projects
are
commercial
as
well
as
Indie
in
nature.
There’s
a
refreshingly
new
treatment
to
her
each
film
and
that
works
beautifully
with
the
audience
who
want
to
see
the
new-age
storytelling.
The
director
also
in
a
recent
interview
joked
how
she’s
a
love
child
of
Karan
Johar
and
Anurag
Kashyap!
Filmmakers
who
are
popular
for
their
own
take
on
cinema
-
commercial
appeal
and
Indie
vibe,
respectively.
Well,
we
definitely
agree
because
looking
at
that
premise,
she
surely
brings
the
best
of
both
in
perfect
permutations
and
combinations
to
the
audience.
Zoya
Akhtar
is
often
regarded
as
one
of
the
most
progressive
directors
out
there
and
it
shows
with
the
kind
of
content
that
she
delivers
for
the
fans.
Her
projects
instantly
strike
a
chord
with
the
audience
because
of
their
content
sided
with
a
dish
of
reality.
The
marination
that
she
presents
with
her
movies
of
Indie
yet
commercial
is
commendable.
Case
in
point,
Gully
Boy,
Dil
Dhadakne
Do,
and
even
her
shows
speak
of
that.
Currently
working
on
the
second
season
of
one
of
the
biggest
shows
on
streaming
platforms,
Made
in
Heaven,
along
with
writer-director
Reema
Kagti,
Zoya
Akhtar
has
an
eye
for
complex
yet
audience-appealing
content.
