Movies are a reflection of society; movies often depict actual emotions and societal challenges, even though they may be exaggerated versions of reality. This could be the reason why there aren’t as many films with female leads.
We adore films in which a hero beats ten to fifteen people to save a female, and the girl instantly falls in love with him, dances with him, and eventually marries him. That’s all. In the majority of films, women are portrayed in this manner.
Here are the Women-led Stories in Cinema that gave rise to women!
Chatriwali
The narrative of a condom quality tester in a traditional town is told in comedy movie. While searching for a job, she attends chemistry classes. The owner of Cando Condoms, Ratan Lamba, is from the same town. He needs a condom quality tester immediately. However, he is unable to locate one, which is hurting his business. He meets Sanya and is struck by how well-versed in chemicals she is. He gives her the position. Sanya is angry at first. However, she accepts the position with the stipulation that no one should be aware that she works at Cando because she has no other choice. To find the whole story, it is recommended you watch the whole movie.
Toilet
The ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ (also known as the “Clean India Campaign”), which was started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, stimulates the movie Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednker were in the lead roles in this movie.
Rashmi Rocket
The movie Tapsee Pannu and the child actor don’t appear out of the ordinary, several characters in the movie have similar questions about Veera. Using clichés like a top-angle view of Veera riding a motorbike and her attire, the movie portrays her ambiguous gender status. While the women around her wear vibrant clothing, she prefers to wear a tank top and jeans.
Mom
God made thriller movie. A horrible tragedy causes Arya and Devki to become irreparably separated. A mother must choose “not between” what is right and evil in such a circumstance.
Mrs Undercover
A spy named comedy movie mixes fighting scenes with funny moments and talks about real problems in society. It shows that women can be tough and real at the same time.
The movie breaks old ideas about what women can and can’t do. Instead of showing strength through muscles alone, it proves that women have many kinds of power. Because of Mrs. Undercover, more movies now tell stories about women heroes. More people want to watch these stories, which means we’ll see more movies with strong women characters in Bollywood, where men used to get all the big roles.
Saand ki Aankh
The film biopic movie. The narration then takes over, detailing their entire life story, how they were reduced to baby-making robots, and how their husbands bluntly rejected any attempt to do anything other than labour for them.
Janhit Mein Jaari
Janhit Mein Jaari. The actor from Pyaar Ka Punchnama (1 & 2) portrays a feminist woman who is determined to achieve independence. In order to avoid the pressure from her parents to get married, she is looking for work. The work comes in the form of condom sales. The humorous core of the movie is how Manokamna conceals the job description from her own family and later her in-laws. The storyline is reminiscent of Vicky Donor, but Janhit Mein Jaari falls short where Ayushmann Khurrana’s film excels.
Pink
Pink may have a sexist title, but don’t let that deter you from seeing the film because it tackles a very important issue: consent. The movie’s famous line, “No Means No,” shows that when a woman says “no,” it must be taken as “no.” This statement challenges ideas like “Ladkiyon ke na me haan hota hai” (when a girl says no, she means yes).
These movies show how Indian cinema is changing for the better. They tell real stories about women who face tough problems and find ways to solve them. From fighting unfair rules to breaking old traditions, these films prove that women’s stories matter. They open doors for more movies that put women in the spotlight and inspire girls to dream big.
