India is home to some of the most dramatic, action-packed, and incredibly far-fetched movies we’ve ever seen, but not many people know that it has also produced a number of highly dramatic, witty, and daring female-oriented movies one simply can’t miss. Sexism, chauvinism, gender inequality, misogyny – these words mean the same thing no matter what country you go to. Indian women are struggling to find their own voice, tell their stories, and be heard by the whole world just as much as the rest of ladies all across the world. Cinematography is one of those mediums that allows them to do just that. Ranging from heart-warming and funny to dramatic and thrilling, we present you 10 amazing women centric Bollywood movies you’ll want to watch right now.
Angry Indian Goddesses
We’ve seen quite a number of movies about male bachelor parties and their consequences, but not many movies focus on female friendship and what girls go through when one of their own decides to settle down. As Freida, a professional photographer, invites a bunch of her besties into a house in Goa to announce and celebrate her future marriage, things become more heated than she expected. This emotional dramedy with a witty plot explores all the hidden nooks of the female friendship with all its breakups, passion, hesitation, love, innocence, and a bunch of heart breaks to top it all. Definitely a must-see!
English Vinglish
The good kind-hearted Shashi is a housewife that lives with her husband and kids and has found her happiness in serving them. She seems to be doing just fine, apart from one major detail – her English is quite poor, which became a source of puns and laughs for the whole family. One day her sister invites Shashi to New York to help prepare for the wedding, but for that she’ll need to live for alone for some time. All that with her poor English! Being an open-minded and capable woman, Shashi decided she would certainly go to the US and enrol into an English learning class. Thus, her adventure began! It’s a pleasurable and light-hearted movie filled with wise remarks and quite a few philosophical moments.
Queen
Queen is a story about Rani, a timid girl from a typical Indian family that faces a heart-breaking drama when her fiancé ditches her one day before the wedding. Desperate to get away from this experience, she decides to go on their planned honeymoon all by herself! As she visits different countries, meets new people, and finally learns to live her life to the fullest, Rani understands that there’s more to life than just being a housewife and finds her once lost self-worth. A fun and light-hearted movie to brighten up your day!
Highway
Highway is a road movie like no other. Surrounded by quite a few controversies, its plot revolves around a young woman Veera, who’s been kidnapped right before her wedding, and her relationship with a bunch of captors. Being a daughter of a powerful and rich man, she has lived her life hiding her true self from everyone, forgetting what it is like to be truly free in your actions and expressions. While the movie may seem like a ‘typical’ film about the Stockholm Syndrome, you will find it to be much deeper than that. We can’t but mention that the visual part of the movie is truly breathtaking as well!
