There are 4 Hindi movies clued in these 4 pictorial clues. Each of their film crews have something common. Conx them

ConX16

It’s Leading ladies who eventually married the director in the film crew that ConX- “Hip Hip Hurray”, “Saaraansh”, “Dev D” and “Love in Shimla”

Here’s the explanation

Hip Hip Hooray – Pic 1 – Hip + Hip+ Who(?)+(Satyajit)Ray – (Deepti naval and Prakash Jha)

Saaransh Pic 2 – Gist / Summary – (Soni Razdan and Mahesh Bhatt)

Dev D – Pic 3 – Dev (-anan)D – (Kalki Koechlin and Anurag Kashyap)

Love in Shimla – Pic 4 – Love (Hearts) in Shimla (-mirch) – (Sadhana and R.K. Nayyar)

Many of the solvers felt this was the hardest ConX. We had a number of repeat submissions, after eliminating which, we were left with only 26. Out of these, only 16 of them were all correct.
