Suresh Triveni: Tumhari Sulu
Tumhari Sulu was a lighthearted and entertaining film of 2017. Director Suresh Triveni’s magic in the film was completely visible. Being a debutant director, the kind of film he made was unbelievable! The story of Vidya Balan as Sulu was so relatable and lovable. This film gave a wonderful message about women empowerment.
Amit Masurkar: Newton
This film was a gem gifted by director Amit Masurkar to the industry. The plot of the story revolved around voting issues in rural areas and he showed it by adding a little humour to it. Rajkummar Rao was the perfect fit to play his character. Newton delivered an important message about the importance of voting in today’s time.
Alankrita Srivastava: Lipstick Under my Burkha
After fighting hard with the censors, Alankrita Srivastava’s Lipstick Under My Burkha finally saw the light of the day. This film was critically acclaimed in several film festivals. This film showed the stories of four women who struggle in their daily lives and can’t live on their own terms. With this film, several stereotypes were broken about a woman. Alankrita deserves a salute for making such film.
