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.
