  • How Guneet Monga Rewrote Bollywood's Rules and Won an Oscar Doing It
    May 4 2026

    She grew up navigating a war zone of a family home, arrived in Bombay with ₹50 lakhs borrowed from a neighbour, and watched her debut film get pulled from theatres the morning after India lost the cricket World Cup. That's where most stories end. Guneet Monga's was just beginning. In this candid, far-ranging conversation with ET’s Anirban Chowdhury and in-house film journalist and critic Rajesh N Naidu, the Oscar-winning producer and CEO of Sikhya Entertainment traces a 20-year journey defined by jugaad, grit, and an unshakeable belief in the power of story. From Gangs of Wasseypur to The Lunchbox, Kill to Women in Film India — this is the real education they don't teach at film school.
