All Time Best Women Centric Films Of Bollywood

Hindi cinema has served as a mirror of its times, events, and the challenges the nation has faced for many years. Women in contemporary movies have gone a long way from being simple ornamental objects in movies, from occasionally being victims or powerless, to being powerful forces to be reckoned with. Hindi film actresses have established themselves as strong, confident, and powerful individuals who fight for their rights, speak up against injustice, uphold their dignity, and deserve what they do not receive. She too rejects this and resists.

Over the years, Hindi films have successfully portrayed how times and cultures have changed, whether it is the dramatic shift in the professions to which women have been exposed or even the current domestic violence against women. The ladies of Hindi films, from Meena Kumari to Vidya Balan, from Mother India to Lipstick Under My Burkha, have played a significant role in bringing about change in the nation. We provide you movies with strong female characters. Additionally, she is taking an active part in developing her own sense of self in society.

Women-focused movies of all genres were made by directors throughout this decade, and the public accepted them, enjoyed them, and even desired more of them. This is a fantastic illustration of how things are altering. Today we'll talk about some of the finest female-centric Bollywood movies that got people thinking and contributed to a lot of positive social change.

All-Time Best Women-Centric Films Of Bollywood

1. Mother India (1957)

The early Indian cinematic era includes the renowned masterpiece Mother India. This was likely the first widely watched movie to get acclaim both domestically and overseas. It was an unconventional movie at the time. It's regarded as one of Nargis Dutt's most famous and significant performances.

Poor rural lady Radha (Nargis) struggles against all difficulties to raise her two boys. The locals revere him as a deity and a symbol of justice. She murders her immoral son in accordance with her moral ideals in the sake of justice.

Known for directing the social epic Mother India, which won two National Film Awards, the Filmfare Award for Best Film and Best Director, and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Mehboob Khan was a trailblazing producer-director in Indian film.

2. Mirch Masala (1987)

The film Mirch Masala, which was directed by Ketan Mehta, depicts the tale of Sonbai, a humble villager, portrayed by Smita Patil, who decides to refuse a request from Subedar, a strong officer played by Naseeruddin Shah, in order to avoid his bad eye.

The village chief's wife, played by Deepti Naval, protests against her husband's oppression and his wish to send their daughter to school. A powerful tale of women's emancipation in backward times. This is a singular illustration of how hard it is for women to survive.

3. Bandit Queen (1994)

The movie is a biography based on the life of Phoolan Devi, an Indian dacoit who was imprisoned in 1983 and who is played by Seema Biswas. The Indian police accused him, and the populace transformed him into a legend.

This is the tale of a lady who battles all male crimes, including those done by police and thugs. She eventually defeats them all and shows herself to be a powerful lady. India's Bandit Queen: The True Story of Phoolan Devi, a movie based on Mala Sen's biography, was directed by Shekhar Kapur.

4. Astitva (2000)

The Mahesh Manjrekar-directed film Astitva exposes India's pernicious social structure. It brings to light societal problems like extramarital relationships and marital abuse that have never been freely discussed.

Aditi Shrikant Pandit, a character played by Tabu, is encouraged by her future daughter-in-law, Namrata Shirodkar, as she searches for her identity outside of marriage while being separated from her husband and kid. She eventually exits the house as well, standing by her mother-in-law.

5.  Chandni Bar (2001)

Chandni Bar sheds light on the oppressive and hopeless lives of several Mumbai women who are entangled in a labyrinth of crime, prostitution, dance clubs, and the underworld. In the movie, Tabu, who plays Mumtaz, strives to offer her kids a better future, but she is ultimately overcome by the circumstances. It is a nerve-wracking story of the reality experienced by women in particular regions of Mumbai, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar.

6. English Vinglish (2012)

The protagonist of English Vinglish is a dedicated homemaker named Shashi Godbole. Shashi puts her all into her career and is a fantastic mother, wife, and housewife, yet her husband and daughter frequently disappoint her. Shashi's lack of English language proficiency is the cause of his actions.

During a journey to the United States, Shashi picks up the English language and her family's perception of her changes. Sridevi plays the role of Shashi Godbole in the movie, which is directed by Gauri Shinde.

Madhubala (Mughal-e-Azam, Barsaat Ki Raat, Mr. & Mrs. '55)—The Venus of India; heart-throb of all who saw her; responsible for the sexual awakening of every single desi lesbian I know (including me!) And my god, she is breathtakingly beautiful. Look at the subtle grace with which she moves, and that smile - the kind of radiant smile that can make you laugh with sheer delight, or cry because of its hidden pain. Those wild curls! That Cupid's bow! The way she tilts back her head and smiles at you with mischief dancing in her eyes! She has a way of looking at the camera that makes you feel she's sharing a private joke just with you; it's something about that quizzical twist of the lips and eyebrows. As an actress, she is inimitable; she seems to effortlessly inhabit roles ranging from a heart-broken courtesan to a laughter-loving socialite. Fun fact : she's had quite the fan following in Greece! Stelios Kazantidis even wrote a song as a tribute to her.

Ingrid Bergman (Gaslight, Casablanca, Notorious)—Where do I even begin with Ingrid Bergman? I fell in love with her with her astounding performance in the 1956 version of Anastasia -- the best Anastasia movie in large part due to her wonderful and touching performance. She's got this amazing, fascinating intensity to her in whatever role she's in. She commits 100%, and she's got this light in whatever she's in that's stunning. She's utterly convincing no matter what she plays, from an amnesiac possible lost princess, from a nun, from a woman taking her revenge on the town that wronged her, to light romantic comedy. She's never missed in any role I've seen her in! Also she became quite the MILF.

This is round 5 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Madhubala:

An icon of Bollywood, who was well known for her beauty and has continued to inspire performances and songs into the 21st century. She was at times described as "the number one beauty of the Indian screen" and "the biggest star in the world".

SHE IS EVERYTHING AHHH. JUST LOOK AT HER SMILE-

She's been nicknamed the Marilyn Monroe of India and was one of the highest paid actresses in the Hindi film industry (the term Bollywood did not exist yet) during the 1950s. Also an extremely talented dancer and singer

SHE'S JUST SO STUNNING, like seeing her eyes IMMEDIATELY CAPTIVATES YOU, THE DANCING, THE BEAUTY!!!!!!!!! She worked in Bollywood for over 20 years and passed away at a sad early age of 36, BUT THE IMPACT SHE HAD WAS UNMATCHED!!!!!

That sassy sideways glance she does always has me WEAK AT THE KNEES. And when she's making silly faces at the camera to mimic someone ahhhh my gay little heart <3

Ingrid Bergman:

God, she's fantastic. She's both beautiful and a compelling actor who's more than capable of putting the whole movie on her shoulders if necessary. It's worth noting that while her beauty is conventional, she was seen as refreshingly "natural" with more eyebrows and less makeup than many other leading ladies of the time. She's well known for her role in Casablanca, but in Notorious, Spellbound, (both available on archive.org ) and Gaslight (1944) she shows how immensely capable she is.

I mean...she's Ingrid Bergman. I feel like that should be enough, you know? She's physically beautiful (her eyes!) but watching her is like a transcendent experience. Her voice, her expressions... beautiful woman, beautiful actor.

I'm a gay man but even I understand her appeal. I'll watch any movie she shows up in. Gorgeous woman.

Just try and watch her movies without sighing wistfully, then get back to me!

Choosing 1-3 movies where Bergman was at her hottest was agony because, of course, she was always at her hottest. Not just because she was beautiful but because she was absolutely willing to go up against the bs women in Hollywood were constantly dealing with. When exiled from Hollywood for having an affair with Roberto Rossellini, not only did she refuse to apologize at any point, but she went on to say that Hollywood's films had grown stagnant and boring to her. Though she said she appreciated her time working there, she wanted to try new, different techniques (hence starring in Italian neorealist films, working on stage, and acting under directors like Ingmar Bergman). She was not afraid to chase after her artistic ideals and go outside the box regardless of what society had to say about it. From her first movie to her last she killed it. There's so much more to say about Bergman's career and life, but I've already written five million words so I'll stop at that.

ion words so I'll stop at that.

One of the most incredible actors I've ever seen on film. Her facial expressions are so intricate and poignant that I cannot look away. I'm either ace or straight, but damn she made me question that.

SEVEN TIME OSCAR NOMINEE QUEEN. Girl also PULLED, having affairs with famously hot men Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck IN ADDITION to her three marriages...sexy

She has a very natural beauty to her, and she's from Sweden!

She left Hollywood and only became more beautiful. You could drown in her eyes. She can look innocent AND like she's seen it all. She is effortlessly elegant. She's played Joan of Arc (automatically hot) AND was in the movie that coined gaslight as a term. And where would we be without that!

She was known for being a breath of fresh air on the movie scene at the time with her windswept hair, dreamy smile and soulful eyes. I have loved her in every movie I have seen her in - she was just magnetic!

Where do I even start. There's a neighborly quality to this beautiful, talented actress that makes her hotness one of a kind and her looks impossible to forget

With a career spanning five decades, Bergman is often regarded as one of the most influential screen figures in cinematic history. Known for her naturally luminous beauty, Bergman spoke five languages – Swedish, English, German, Italian and French – and acted in each.

She's hot, don't get me wrong, but I've always found her very approachable, like she could easily be a member of my friend group

A lot of the time hotness in a movie is just about words and framing. "You're the most beautiful person here" [vaseline lens] well I sure hope so because that's who you cast. But when, in Casablanca, they call Ingrid Bergman the most beautiful woman in the world... they were not fucking lying. And such a dynamite actor too!! I'd only seen Casablanca up until last year, and there she's confined to love interest. But in Gaslight she was maybe one of the most incredible actors I've ever seen!!!! Goddddd shes so fucking hot and cool.
