  • From Mother India to Queen
    KCG-Portal of Journals Continuous Issue-36 | October – November 2018 A study of Female hero: From Mother India to Queen Movies are considered to be a source of entertainment though they carry some societal reflection, significantly, most of the movies are made keeping public taste in mind. But few are made to highlight the social evil, out dated rituals and tradition prevalent in the society; providentially, condition of woman is among them. Usually, in most of the Indian movies the role of a female counterpart (heroine) is to entertain the public by dancing, singing and by acting on some romantic scenes; thus, the role of a heroine in most of the movies is to add spices and seductive flavor by exposing her figure, while acting is not so important. Consequently, role of a heroine in most of the Indian movies is narrowed down and she is used just to sell the product, mere commoditization of a woman body, nothing else!Humorously, the condition of a female shown in most of the movies projects advancement in style of costumes, make up and life styles but thinking is still outdated. But certain categories of movies have female heroes.They steer the movie on her shoulders without any dominant male counterpart. And they leave behind a long lasting message for the society as they attack those apparently spotless surface of social evil, patriarch locked perception! Though Indian cinema, especially, Bollywood has produced many movies in which women have main lead creating a tiny revolution of 21st century! For instance Fashion(2008), narrating a story of an ambitious girl, there are movies like Chak de India (2007)Mary Kom(2014), Dangal(2016), two of them are based on real life story, it also brought in an issue of promoting girls for sports.

  • Changing Patterns in the Depiction of Woman in Current Bollywood Films
    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 2.24 (IIJIF) The New Woman: Changing patterns in the depiction of woman in current Bollywood films Sayonee Acharya Assistant Teacher, Durgapur Junior High School Bholadanga, Nadia. Ph.D Research Scholar Dept. of Film Studies Jadavpur University. Abstract This is a non-research based literary paper in which I have tried to figure out the traditional roles played by women in classic Hindi cinema under the sheer dominion of social, political and cultural ideologies prevalent in India. Parallel to this, I have also given a try at explaining this conventional pattern of women portrayal in terms of the psychological content of a phallocentric societal order. I have thereafter located the points of transition in this depiction pattern of women in current Bollywood films that aim at creating the image of a ‘new empowered woman’ fighting for her basic rights who is personally identifiable and yet globally presentable. Finally I have traced the probable causes that seem to have facilitated this momentous transition in the history of Mumbai cinema.
