The Zoya Factor is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Abhishek Sharma and produced by Fox Star Studios, Pooja Shetty and Aarrti Shetty.[6] Starring Sonam Kapoor and Dulquer Salmaan.[7] The film is a light adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's 2008 novel of the same name,[8] which follows the story of a girl, Zoya Solanki, who becomes a lucky charm for the Indian Cricket team during the 2011 Cricket World Cup, and the skipper Nikhil Khoda who doesn't believe in luck and superstitions.Zoya Solanki (Sonam Kapoor) a junior copywriter at an Advertising agency considers herself very unlucky. Her love life and professional life sucks, when her rich dentist boyfriend (Rishi Hapawat) has dumped her for being too infra dig, while her boss (Koel Purie) at the ad agency is not impressed with her. But soon, her luck changes when she was sent to Srilanka to shoot an ad with the Indian cricket team. Zoya accidentally meets Nikhil Khoda (Dulquer Salmaan), the Indian team captain who is a staunch believer of hardwork and gets irritated with his team's dependence on superstition, rather than believing in hardwork. When Zoya gets invited to a breakfast with the team, they discovers that Zoya was born on the day when India got its first World Cup and believes that she is their lucky mascot.
Her luck rubs off sensationally when the team wins the match in Sri Lanka. She is offered a position by the BCCI as official mascot for the upcoming World Cup which is against the wishes of captain Khoda who is attracted to Zoya but also irritated by the media for giving her the credit for their wins.

Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
The film received mixed reviews from critics. The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 stars stating "The Zoya Factor is a fun, frothy film that pits superstitions versus strategy and self-belief versus luck. And delightfully uses India’s cricket craze to deliver a thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining film".[36] Priyanka Sinha Jha of CNN-News18 gave 3.5 out of 5 stating that "With its quirky premise, The Zoya Factor is light and frothy just as romcoms should be, and ticks against all boxes especially the prerequisite combo of a tall, dark and handsome hero and a good-looking yet naïve heroine."[37]
Bollywood Hungama rated it 3 out of 5 commenting that "The Zoya Factor is a feel-good popcorn entertainer that works chiefly due to concept, treatment, humour and performances."[38]
The Indian Express gave 2.5 out of 5 stars stating "For a rom-com which needs to be light on its feet, hitting fours and sixes as it goes along, the writing is not as supple as it should have been. Too many slog overs here".[39]

The Zoya Factor opened to a slow start at the box office, with low occupancies.[40] The film earned about ₹ 85 Lakhs on its opening day and second day also ₹ 85 Lakhs, whereas the third day collection was ₹80 lakhs, taking its total opening weekend collection to ₹2.50 crore in India.[41]
