Sneha Desai (Laapataa Ladies)

Laapataa Ladies was one of the rare films that not only shared a strong social message through its plot, but also managed to do it without ever sounding preachy. A large part of the credit must go to Sneha Desai, the maestro responsible for the film’s engaging screenplay and endearing dialogues. It was her nuanced sensibilities that ensured no scene in the film overstays its welcome and no line in the script seems unrealistic. The fact that the movie was also a commercial success goes on to prove that good cinema eventually does win at the end of the day.

Moni Singh (Pocket FM’s Devil Se Shaadi)

It’s not just films and shows, the audio format also found many admirers as it continued to witness massive growth. Blending edge-of-the-seat writing with interesting subjects, the audio world is truly changing how people engage with content. One such gifted personality who has written a widely loved audio series is Moni Singh. The artist behind Pocket FM’s immensely popular Devil Se Shaadi audio series, Ms. Singh lends a certain sense of originality and authenticity to her work. Hailing from a quaint town in Bihar, Moni has been empowered on a social and financial level through her writing exploits, and also built a loyal fanbase at Pocket FM.

Nag Ashwin (Kalki 2898 AD)

The man behind 2024’s most ambitious bet, writer-director Nag Ashwin gave India a movie that stands toe to toe with any international project in Kalki 2898 AD. One of the best parts was that the film never sacrificed good writing at the altar of big scale. May it be Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Hasan, Deepika Padukone or Prabhas, the script gave each and every character an organic and relatable arc that tied in with the larger plot of the film. From stunning visuals, impeccable acting to stellar writing, Kalki 2898 AD proved that Indian cinema is now global in its vision and yet local in its heart.

Abhishek Chaubey (Killer Soup)

After brilliant dark comedies like Ishqiya and gut wrenching pieces like Sonchiriya, Abhishek Chaubey created a web series with his signature style of layered filmmaking. Starring an electric Manoj Bajpayee and an exquisite Konkana Sen Sharma, Killer Soup was an 8 episodic gem that would leave you chuckling with its black humor and shocked with its unexpected twists. Neatly tied up with an ending that leaves one stunned, Abhishek once again proved why he is an artist worth vouching for.

If one were to flash back to take a bird’s eye view of 2024, it would be clear that the year was underlined by great stories and powerful writing. Films, audio series or web shows, there wasn’t a single platform where the unique writing didn’t stand out. As we enter a new phase in 2025, here’s hoping many more such interesting talents come our way!
