Media Studies

For almost a century, popular Hindi films rarely dealt with women issues and if it all it attempted to do so, the role of a women was restricted to be either that of nurturer or the epitome of sacrifice and forgiveness. Films like Mother India or Bandini glorified woman’s ability to give up her choices and even life for the sake of her family and dear ones. But post LPG (Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization) this scenario has gradually changed. Today, we come across films where a woman not only expresses her choice but she is also unapologetic about herself. Cinema very interesting deals with gender representation in a consensually problematic manner where the provider of the image as well as the receiver of the medium believes that the space is designed to give women her place only in a particular way.
