@Himani I have to say that in a looot of cases my opinions match yours!
Loved luck by chance... ZNMD was good time pass... but as a movie I liked Luck by chance much better... and definitely better than bhandarkar's movie... DD again sounds like it belongs to the ZNMD genre...

and Farhan akhtar - i loved loved loved DCH and liked Lakshya too... but not a fan of the DON series so much...

Zoya seems to have it in her to be one of the better directors... the rest I think I will need to see a few more movies from her to say if I am still liking her and if she is getting better at her craft .. then may be I can honestly answer that Q...

I personally think she is a relief from the typical bollywood movies we have...i enjoyed both ZNMD and Talaash..with Talaash, she kinda messed up the climax..the scene where kareena comes infront of aamir's car is so brilliantly executed!
The biggest sign of a good director is when he/she can make a non actor act...watch katrina in ZNMD, all credit to Zoya. She is a decent director imo..just attimes her movies drag a little

Zoya didn't direct Talaash, just helped write it. 😆

That's a bad pic of Zoya. All though she is not that attractive, but there are better pics..

I don't know if she's over rated or not, haven't watched any of the films. But DDD has got a lot of hype, so might be a good one.
