  • The Bollywood's Way of Reimagining Female Icons and Their Resulting
    Opinion Journal of Volume 11:7, 2021 Mass Communication & Journalism ISSN: 2165-7912 Open Access The Bollywood’s Way of Reimagining Female Icons and Their Resulting Influence on Gender Imbalance in India Anisha Ray* Assistant professor, Media Science, NSHM Knowledge campus, Kolkata Abstract India as a country has always savoured the sexist commercial Bollywood palette. Everything served in the form of the classic ‘male gaze’ approved and grand musical format has been contributory in setting definite narratives that influence the mass beyond the screening of the film as well.

In the recent times, one such raging phenomenon of sorts has been Bollywood’s new found obsession with biopics on iconic women figures like Rani Laxmi Bai to Shakuntala Devi on rather debatable grounds of credibility.
