‘Raanjhanaa’ (2013)
Director: Aanand L. Rai
Cast: Sonam Kapoor, Dhanush, Abhay Deol

Against the spiritual intensity of Varanasi, Zoya’s journey moves from youthful idealism to political fire. The performance is composed, almost distant at times, yet it anchors the emotional chaos swirling around her, especially opposite a man unable to let go.
