Cinematic Exploration of the Changed Realities in the Projection of Gender Specific Roles

Abstract

Cinema dexterously explores and experiments with the myriad portrayals of women which is diversely rich; they are represented as submissive and oppressed on one hand and educated, open-minded, strong-willed on the other. However, there is a continuous change with respect to the stereotyped image and its depiction. The present paper attempts to highlight not only the different images of women but also the changed perception of the society that has exquisitely been captured in the films made in the recent context.
