The Dirty Picture (2011) - This biographical drama film Directed by Milan Luthria and Written by Rajat Aroraa, starred Vidya Balan in the lead role. The film is based on the life of Silk Smitha, a popular actress in the South Indian film industry in the 1980s.

Pagglait (2021) - This comedy-drama film directed by Umesh Bist starred Sanya Malhotra in the lead role. The film follows the journey of a young woman who is grieving the loss of her husband and navigating through the societal norms and expectations that come with widowhood. Through the character of Sandhya, the film highlights the importance of breaking free from societal norms and finding one's own path.

Veere Di Wedding (2018) - This buddy comedy film directed by Shashanka Ghosh starred Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker, and Shikha Talsania in the lead roles.

Ragini MMS 2 (2014) - This horror-thriller film starred Sunny Leone in the lead role. The film is about a girl who becomes possessed by a ghost and the group of people who try to save her.
