Bollywood has come a long way with the kind of content it is delivering. With more women in cinema, the audience is seeing many different stories and accepting them with open arms as well.
Exhibit A of this is Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi starring extremely talented Alia Bhatt and the incredible Vicky Kaushal. Raazi has earned Rs 100 crores at the box office after being made on a Rs 15 crore budget.
