Abstract | This is a hence proven fact that cinema and theatre especially performing arts connects with a larger audience while representing the core and periphery of a civilized and uncivilized society. In this very fact location of women as female protagonists is very limited and obscure. Also, the initial instances show that they were treated as supporting characters. In this paper, I will try and highlight the roles of female characters in indigenous Bollywood and some popular literature also from the perspective of Ecofeminism. To understand Whether they were visible as facilitators of nature and ecology or they were seen exercising their agency through those characters or they are just objectified for publicity stunts in commercial films. This paper will also be touching upon the new age Cinema and theatre where some critiques are observing this as a contrasting effect of the past. From the beginning of civilization, whenever men needed support for livelihood and rule, women provided their helping hand. For instance, in ancient civilizations women were seen as gatherers, those who put together resources, nurture, and take care of them. But their clutch and agency are missing, when it comes to their social, political, and cultural sphere. This basically makes them a ‘choice-based’ role player, where both choice and role are not of their interest. There are several examples in our visual art-based Cinema i.e., Bollywood. There are movies that explain generational change and continuity, along with the cognizance of watching spectators. |
