Notable Women Centric Bollywood Movies To Inspire A Change!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The word ‘woman’ brings to our mind a being that can seduce with sensual beauty, endure with inner mind control and mould to any situation as though born to handle just that. But they are not just meant to be arm candies and loving wives or mothers, because if need be, they can epitomize both tenderness and toughness.

We all know that this is a man made world and women are not given their due respect and are ill treated. Not only the men dominate women, but sometimes women also blindly obey thinking that they are supposed to be so. Many Bollywood movies have been made since the advent of cinema to inspire a change in the condition of women. The following Woman Centric Bollywood Movies not only develop the confidence in women, but also shows the world that women are no less than men.

I’m not a movie buff, and neither do I promote cinema or watching movies of any sort, but there’s no doubt that the following films have truly been motivational for women. Also, this is not an exhaustive list, yet serves the purpose to portray different strata of women and their struggles and victories.

This movie explores religious bigotry, the legacy of the partition of India, ethnic and regional prejudice, and sexism in contemporary India through field hockey.

This movie is a story of a common small scale entrepreneur cum housewife who is poor in English and always become a joke in front of her children and husband because of this. A story of every second home in India and women in India learns to deal with being a joke.
