We all know that Bollywood has always been a patriarchal industry. However, there are times when powerful actresses have overshadowed even the most famous male co-stars. Bollywood took its time to change its views and make a few women-oriented films. However, the number of women protagonist movies are still a few. We at Bollywood Hush love our Bollywood heroines and would like to celebrate them through this post.
If you notice, most of the women-centric films that are been made nowadays are usually about social issues. But we are not talking about these movies. Let us all look at the films that are strict, commercial mould, and co-starred A-list heroes and still the women lead takes over.
