New Delhi: From ‘Mother India’ to ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi,’ Bollywood has churned out a fair number of women-led films – some with resounding success, others with a moderate one. Most of them have had an exemplary performance by actresses who played the protagonist backed by a strong storyline. They are all worthy of a recall.
Lets’ take a look:
Mother India (1957)
Mother India, a classic, was a path-breaking film of its time. It is considered to be one of Nargis Dutt’s most impressive and iconic performances. Nargis as Radha is a poor villager who fights all odds to raise her two sons. She is looked upon as the epitome of justice who even kills her immoral son for the sake of justice.
Vidya Balan plays the role of a pregnant woman who searches for her missing husband in this Sujoy Ghosh film. The movie celebrates the strength, power, and courage of women.
English Vinglish (2012)
Late Sridevi’s comeback film is the story of a common housewife Shashi Godbole. She is looked down upon and made fun of by her husband just because she can’t speak fluent English. Shashi learns the language on her US trip to her niece’s wedding. Sridevi’s understated performance of an empowered woman without breaking into histrionics won hearts.
