Bollywood has often been accused of objectifying women. Most of the films that are written are always from a man's perspective. But in a male-dominated industry, every now and then, Bollywood comes out with a film with female actor playing the lead protagonist. Some of these films have proved to change the career path of the actresses who were in it, some have been able to raise pertinent questions in the society, some have inspired people to break away from the norm and some have just faded into oblivion without creating much impact.
While we were collating the list, some interesting things came up. There were very few women-oriented films in years 2008 and 2009. Rani Mukerji's 'Dil Bole Hadippa' which released in 2009 was perhaps the only film that we could call as female-centric. But there too, Mukerji's character dressed as a man almost throughout. 2013, in fact, did not have single women-oriented film. Things look up in the recent past with 2014 and 2015 boasting of a lot of films with women as the lead protagonist. On International Women's Day, here are the female oriented films made in Bollywood from 2005-2015. Vote wisely.
