Over the past few years, Bollywood has taken several attempts to recreate realistic problems and incidents as movies. In a place as diverse as India, where problems multiply and aggravate, the number of issues concerning feminine societal positions is also huge. There have been quite a few films concerning women empowerment, opposing male chauvinism and depicting their focal role in families. They have been extremely appealing, knowledge dissipating and helpful in voicing out the opinion of a majority of people. Let us look at a few films which have been instrumental in this aspect.
