The Swara Bhasker starrer `Nil Battey Sannata` that released in 2016 has completed seven years.  Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari made feature debut with this film.

With stories such as `Ranjhanaa,` `Tanu Weds Manu,` `Atrangi Re,` `Aatmapamphlet` and more, producer-director Aanand L Rai is known for delivering stories that stick with the audience. One such story was `Nil Battey Sannata` that made waves in Indian cinema. The impact of the film was so much that it was remade in Malayalam as well as Tamil. As the film turns seven, here’s what the maverick filmmaker has to say. Aanand L Rai says, “Nil Battey Sannata will always remain a special film. When I read the script for the first time, I was sure I want to make this film. It was a perfect balance of emotions, content, a right message and rich characters. It was a film that still resonates with many viewers even today and I am so glad to have backed such a strong story.”
