The protagonists in these films confront their marginalisation across multiple intersecting axesclass, religion, and gender. Through nuanced roles, they navigate their personal and political struggles, breaking traditional norms by expressing anger, both violent and silent, as forms of resistance. This shift marks a departure from the stereotypical portrayals of women in earlier Bollywood films, where they were relegated to roles of victims, damsels in distress, or moral custodians of Indian values. The paper focuses on how female characters in recent Bollywood films deploy anger not only to challenge or subvert patriarchal structures but also as a tool for asserting new forms of agency and autonomy. This evolving depiction of anger signals a broader reconfiguration of female empowerment, where rage becomes a means of self-expression, identity formation, and personal liberation. 2025 Australian National University, Dept. of Gender, Media and Cultural Studies.
