Cinematic Feminism: the Evolution of Women-centric Films in India

Author(s) Kopal Sharma, Arushi Srivastava
Country India
Abstract This paper delves into the evolution of women-centric films in Indian cinema, tracing the trajectory of cinematic feminism and its impact on societal perceptions of gender roles. Historically, Indian cinema has predominantly portrayed women in stereotypical roles, often relegating them to secondary positions or objectifying them as mere plot devices. However, in recent years, there has been a noticeable shift towards women-centric narratives that prioritize female experiences, challenges, and agency. Through a comprehensive analysis of thematic elements, narrative structures, and societal implications, this paper aims to explore the emergence of cinematic feminism in India, examining how these films challenge patriarchal norms and contribute to broader discussions on gender equality and empowerment. Drawing on both academic literature and film criticism, this study underscores the transformative potential of women-centric cinema in reshaping cultural perceptions and advocating for social change.
