Female lead movies would definitely work if the Female Lead movies were not always about rebelling and cheating and empowering but rather just a good film about a Main Character who just happens to be female...

[@Solararisa]

Laapataa ladies worked so well for me. I watched it with my entire family and we were a little teary by the end. It was such a beautiful movie. I wish more women led movies were like LL. It was about empowerment, but there was another overarching plot working as well.

[@Innerwanderer]

Totally agree with you

[@undefeatableyt7]

​@@Solararisa Agreed, Laapata Ladies was actually a great movie and hence it did good business!

[@cinematicpie]

​@@Solararisa Again, it's about women empowerment and raises many social issues, indeed a great film but not entirely for the sole purpose of entertainment, which is needed too.

[@Solararisa]

@@cinematicpie I think NH10 does a pretty good job of doing that. The "escapism" factor is severely lacking when it comes to women led movies. I wish there were women led action movies that were just about her doing unrealistic action combat scenes like men led movies, lol. Just complete mindless fun.

I really couldn't like Usha's story in Lipstick under my Burkha. It felt problematic that she was effectively lying and scamming a younger man than herself. Imagine a 56 year old man was lying to a young 20 year old woman and was having phone sex with her posing as a young guy... Yeah. She was shown to be a victim when she wasn't. The other two stories aren't my cup of tea, but I can get behind the story and message.

But let's be real, majority of our audience supports sexualization of female characters etc.. They can't really relate with what is the perspective of female and their expriences.we can't do anything if most of the mens enjoy item songs and love to enjoy women to be highly fantasised and even the female led bollywood movies now-a-days are all about sexual desires and empowerment. No one although talks about the sufferings they face in real life , emotional stability ,feelings etc. as a women audience we don't want movies to be female led but atleast womens feelings must be expressed Edit:- thanks for 80 likes didn't expected well.

[@Msmithjonesraven]

Thing is the movie which are made to highlight issues of women are shown to wrong people aka people who are doing it won't change or they won't watch these movies so its basically talking to wall scenario and people who know these issues will watch these movies and won't do such thing with their partners. In this entire scenario story telling plays the important role NH-10, Mary Kom, English Vinglish are woman lead movies and they did well because the issues are not shoved down your throat but are presented in a good way. Most female lead movies which are trash basically tell about glorification of cheating and how all men are trash and its absolute sexism and irony in all this is that for what women in india hated men they themselves are becoming that and such movies are trying to white wash or have some sympathies. Shows like four more shots and others do this on constant basis.

[@yahvipandey4258]

the thing is catering women is more than just showing sex or sexualizing someone. yes it is fun to watch but it is not all we want. women can have trauma and societal issues and battle their demons while falling in love and having fun and making friends or cracking jokes. women don't always have to be "strong and powerful" sometimes letting them feel and break down AND then getting back up is more powerful rather than just having a character who is strong from the beginning solely because she was hurt by a man or is just strong for no reason

Well, the harsh truth is that the majority of the Desi audience is composed of men, so honestly, they can't relate to the female experience. They can appreciate a woman, but ultimately, it all depends on their perspective. They enjoy item songs and other stuff where women are heavily fantasised about or objectified, as it really suits their narrative of how they'd like a woman to be perceived through their male gaze.

I love when movies have female leads not just for male gaze but more involvement in the plot... Honestly we don't need female centric films, why can't we just have normal females portrayed like normal human beings. Movies like Jawan, Drishyam, Uri have shown female characters that don't feel like they are just shown for empowerment but not for male gaze too, they're also important for the plot and behave like normal human beings. Hollywood has plenty of examples like Trinity from Matrix, Black Widow from MCU, Kim from Better Call Saul... Edit: The whole point is that females also need to be treated like a normal character in a film.

26:13 i'mma say something controversial: Animal in terms of writing could have done a lot with catering to the woman side of things IF IT JUST HAD TENDERNESS. I feel the character of Geetanjali was really well written but the directing was entirely male-centric. Geetanjali's story is about having her childhood love rekindled, her realising she wants to choose her fantasy partner over the stable arranged guy, having a wild life with her lover, settling down, supporting him through tough times and finally leaving and learning to respect herself when she finds out she was cheated on. However, instead of tender moments or conversation on flights etc we really see this tale DIRECTED from a male gaze. It ruined the movie. I would maybe say Heeramandi but that is not relatable to those outside of the incrst-circle of SoBo south Delhi. I really liked Super Deluxe tho, it had some pretty good female stories.

Even Pakistani dramas are being watched by 95% of Pakistani females and also by Indian women. There’s a limited number of men who these drama serials and at present most of those drama serials are being written by female writers.

For me woman centric flims are like "Hichki", "Mardani", "Helicopter Eela" . These are true empowerment.

[@Mjr.Nuke-Hazard_089]

Sorry to say but Mardani was an overly "Macho Woman" movie, BUT YEAH the overall storyline and message of the film was good.

[@namrata2807]

I didn’t even realise I wanted to watch a movie with escapism element in it until I saw this video. And I am saying this as a strong believer in feminism and a movie buff. Thank you for the video.

[@vinnienanda]

I feel the problem with female lead films is that they don’t show a protagonist who happens to be a female. They always have to insert some sort of a social message when there is a female protagonist in Bollywood. Though OTT is changing that, but with most female centric films, either it is solely about women becoming army officers, sports persons or politicians who are well respected, highly moralistic and can do everything good or show films that make women indulge in casual sex, drinking, smoking, and abusing. Many films like Queen and English Vinglish somehow try to portray that white men or western culture is superior to Indian culture, and if women go and live in the west then they will be more ‘empowered’. We rarely get to see a protagonist with human flaws who happens to be a woman. Female lead stories are always into extremes, either indulge in pseudo feminism or become the ideal Bharatiya Nari who was ‘good’ because she became an army officer or a cricketer

[@app.lebyte]

women do not like such female orientated films, because they like to please or appear good to men, women too can be misogynist!

Women are so much more than the issues we face. I wish filmmakers would make movies about a regular girl/woman trying to build a career, entrance exams, falling in love, journey towards motherhood, managing finances, etc., or accomplishing a huge feat, being an action star. The best films in this regard are Raazi, Mardaani & Kahaani, Jab We Met. I want the “female-centric film” label to be deleted from our lexicon. I want films with good female characters. She could be doing something super human while also being someone with an interesting personality. In “Raazi”, Sehmat is written with so many traits. She’s loving, scared but also brave, compassionate but also ruthless, a girl who falls in love but has an immense sense of duty. She felt so real even though was doing espionage which is not relatable to 99% of the population.
