Women- Breaking the Silence- The Portrayal of Women in the Select Indian Movies

Abstract

When movies use to portray the sacrificial nature of woman in abandoning her devout attitude, time and space for the people to whom she should be obedient; here is a collection of movies trying to set a standard by deviating from the main stream movies. Women’ role in changing the face of the society is inevitable, their strength and liberation should also be pointed out. From the usual cliché of women being presented as docile and subservient inspite of all her prowesses, here is  Jaya Jaya Jaya He , The Great Indian Kitchen, English Vinglish  which stand out as the new trend setters by helping women to celebrate their freedom by questioning the so-called conventional patriarchal bias and energizing their worth as the silence breakers.
