The Reflection of Empowered Womanhood in Bollywood Movie ‘Parched’

Abstract

In the era of post-colonialism, margins have started knocking back the centre and Indian mainstream cinema is no exception to this. From the inception of Indian Cinema, it sidelined marginal elements- especially women- but with the passage of time, it is adopting the ‘Road Not Taken’ yet. All over the world, the issue of Women Empowerment is in discussion. Feminist writers have been upheld this issue and have given way through various platforms. Gayatri Spivak and Meenakshi Thapan, talk about women empowerment in detail in their works.
