Apoorva Mehta
Apoorva Mehta’s name keeps popping up in Bollywood, and honestly, the guy’s got a pretty wild resume. Let’s start with Raazi (2018)—you know, that tense spy thriller that had everyone biting their nails? Yeah, Mehta was right in the thick of it, backing a story where Alia Bhatt plays an Indian spy married into a Pakistani military family during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The film’s all about loyalty, sacrifice, and the kind of emotional gut-punch you only get when someone’s making impossible choices for their country. It’s gripping, not gonna lie.
Then there’s Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020). This one’s all about breaking barriers. Janhvi Kapoor steps into the shoes of Gunjan, one of India’s first female combat pilots, who proved her mettle during the Kargil War. The film isn’t just about flying helicopters or dodging enemy fire—it’s more about smashing glass ceilings, fighting deep-rooted sexism, and, honestly, just refusing to take “no” for an answer. You walk away rooting for her, big time.
And then, jumping to 2023, Kill bursts onto the scene. This action-packed thriller is a whole different beast—raw, gritty, and not afraid to get its hands dirty. The violence? Yeah, it’s brutal, but there’s something magnetic about the way the story unfolds. Mehta’s projects don’t just entertain; they sort of punch you in the gut and make you feel things. Whether it’s espionage, real-life heroics, or adrenaline-pumping action, his films seriously leave a mark.
