Chopra 's second release was Habib Faisal 's romantic drama '' Ishaqzaade '' in which she played a leading role opposite Arjun Kapoor . The film revolves around two political families , whose rivalry ( and mutual hatred ) go back generations . Chopra played the boisterous and feisty tomboy Zoya , a Muslim girl who marries a Hindu boy and gives birth to new rivalry in both families . The film received positive reviews from critics , and Chopra earned critical acclaim for her performance . Taran Adarsh observed , " Parineeti Chopra is simply fantastic ... Playing the part of a spirited gun-toting girl , she is not the regular timid , decorous , withdrawn Hindi film heroine . She portrays the violent behavior coupled with the audacious and brash attitude with aplomb " , and Rajeev Masand labelled her the " biggest strength of the film " . The film grossed over at the domestic box office , and was termed a super hit by Box Office India . Chopra earned a National Film Award – Special Mention at the 60th National Film Awards , and received first nominations for the Producers Guild , Screen and Filmfare Award for Best Actress
