Starring Rani Mukerji in a powerful lead role, alongside Anirban Bhattacharya, Neena Gupta, and Jim Sarbh, this 2023 release resonated deeply with audiences.

4. Darlings

With Darlings, Jasmeet K. Reen made a stunning directorial debut, crafting a gripping black comedy that left a lasting impact. Starring Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew, the Netflix film tackles the complexities of toxic relationships and domestic violence with a sharp narrative. Produced by Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions alongside Red Chillies Entertainment, Darlings earned widespread acclaim for its bold storytelling and stellar performances.

5. The Sky Is Pink
