Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022) With Gangubai, Bhansali gave us a fierce, female-led narrative with tight storytelling and masterful editing to win Best Screenplay & Best Editing.

Black (2005) Minimalist and deeply moving, Black was a departure from Bhansali’s usual grandeur. Starring Amitabh and Rani, it won Best Hindi Feature Film.

Padmaavat (2018) Not just a filmmaker, Bhansali also composed the soul-stirring score of Padmaavat and went on to collect Best Music Director for Padmaavat.
