Abstract
Cinema has become an essential and indispensable part of almost everybody’s life in today’s
world. Cinema, also known
as films and movies, is a potent medium
that has enormous
power to influence people's thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour. Along with influencing many
other aspects of life, cinema in India has immensely contributed in shaping society’s
perception with respect to
women. This change has occurred mainly
due to a general
awakening about the rights of women and their empowerment and there is no denying the fact that cinema has played a major role in its own respective way in creating this awakening. Overall, the scenario has drastically changed for good and one can come across lots of stories
of successful women, both in reel as well as in real life. The present paradigm shift in the portrayal of women characters in Indian cinema,
paper examines a and how this shift
reflects the evolving social and cultural norms of gender roles in society. The study employs a qualitative approach, analyzing the themes, characters, and dialogues in two recent Hindi movies to assess the depiction of women's agency and empowerment in the Indian patriarchal structure. The findings indicate that both movies depict women as strong, independent, and
capable of achieving their
dreams, challenging traditional gender
roles and societal
expectations. The study also highlights the impact of such movies on the audience and their
perception of gender roles
and women empowerment. The research
concludes that the
portrayal of new images of capable and powerful women in cinema can play a crucial role in promoting gender equality and empowerment, shaping societal attitudes and beliefs. The paper suggests further research on the impact of such movies on society and the need for more inclusive and diverse representation of women in Indian cinema.
