This paper wasn’t just written—it was lived. It began with a feeling I couldn’t shake after watching Tamasha, Rockstar, and Highway—a quiet ache, a sense of being seen in ways I hadn’t fully admitted to myself. Imtiaz Ali’s films didn’t just entertain me—they unsettled me, comforted me, broke me open, and stitched something back together. I wanted to understand why.
So this research is part film analysis, part emotional excavation. It looks at how Ali’s characters—lost, raw, rebellious—mirror the parts of us that are still figuring it out. It dives into how he uses silence, music, messy narratives, and breathtaking landscapes to tell stories that go beyond the screen. And most importantly, it includes the voices of others who saw themselves in Ved, Jordan, or Veera and walked away a little differently.
This isn’t a typical academic paper. It’s a love letter to the films that held up a mirror and asked, “Is this really you?” And maybe, for those of us still searching, that question is the beginning of everything.
