Highway: Alia Bhatt has to owe something to this film that completely changed her image as an actress. This is one of her best roles in her career and we surely got to see a different Alia in this Imtiaz Ali flick.

2 States: Again an Alia film, the adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's book with the same name was loved by the audience to the core. The film was like a breath of fresh air and changed the perspective of 'inter-caste' marriage in a fun manner.

Tamasha: Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone's this film is like a masterpiece that every film student should study. Not just their romantic bond but the film has way more layers to it that taps into the deepest corners of a human being. The Imtiaz Ali film was not great at the box office but surely won the critics and true film-lovers.
