Reema Kagti

Reema Kagti earns my respect as a quiet disruptor of Hindi cinema. From Guwahati, she has directed and written work like Gully Boy and the series Made in Heaven, stories that trade song-and-dance escapism for real inequality and messy human truth. Carving out space as a woman director in Bollywood was surely no small thing. I am drawn to filmmakers who reshape conventions without making noise about it, and Kagti does exactly that. I find myself genuinely curious to see how she keeps shifting the texture of Indian film going forward.
