Breaking Stereotypes in Hindi Cinema

From Starting to 90s and till 2010 Indian cinema had certain stereo types such as female character, being portrayed as a decorative thing. Females characters were essential needs but not given importance as should be given. But now time has been changed, we have female actress Like Vidya Balan The Dirty Picture2011, Kahani 2012 Tumhari Sullu 2017; Kangna Ranaut Queen 2013, Simran 2017, Tanu Weds Manu2017; Tapsee Pannu, Baby2014, Pink 2016, Naam Shabana2017, Mulk2018;  Nimrat Kaur The Lunchbox2013, The Taste Case2017; Radhika Apte Badlapur2015, Phobia 2016, Sacred Games2018, Ghoul 2018;  Alia Bhatt Highway2014, Dear Jindagi 2016, Raaji 2018; Richa Chadha fukrey2013, Masaan 2015; and Swara Bhaskar Nill Battey Sannata2016, Veere di Wedding2018; these actress are New rebellious actresses who refuses to doing typical characters in Hindi films and Short Films or Web series, and breaks the Stereotypes had the industry from eight or nine-decade, so this is a very positive sign for cinema or its lovers. Today’s female characters are much mature, more outspoken, bold and independent. They have the capacity to survive on their own. Kangna Ranaut and Vidya Ballan is pioneer in this women dominance era, Vidya Balan's The Dirty Picture2011, was a new fresh start that film made Vidya Balan as Rebel lady of Bollywood, she act as outspoken and bold girl she don't have fear to anyone. And Kangna did an awesome job Queen2013, and Simran2017 and Tapsee did a commendable Job in Pink2016, and Mulk2018. And Alia in Raaji2018 did a great Job. I grow up in mid-nineties and I didn't see ever the great quality of work done by female character as we seen now. and that time the era was for love stories so we can't blame to anybody, every time has some individual trends or have different demands .that time was different and now is a different time this is a digital age we have lot of medium or platform to access and opportunity to work film makers are doing experiments with characters or content wise also they are doing very creative work. We can say that this is the age of experiments and innovation. We have many option and variety to choose in cinema as an audience or as an artist also.  And now the entertainment industry has a better variety of work. We can say that now is the time for female actors who were avoided from seven or eight decades in Hindi Cinema or entertainment industry.
