Zubeidaa is a movie about freedom, freedom of pursuing what one adheres to. It is about a woman who fights all odds of Indian traditions and patriarchy and also about the cliche that every Indian women is expected to follow. The movie shows how a woman pays off for following her dreams, and is a true sense of what freedom is for many women in India.

7. English Vinglish

Many Indians do not know English and there’s nothing bad about it; however being the largest country to speak English as a second language many of us struggle to learn the same and that struggle of an Indian woman is shown in the silver screen. Adding more to it is a never giving up attitude of a woman besides handling a family.

8. Black

Inspired by the real Gulaabi Gang of Bundelkhand, this movie is an epitome of women as victims, perpetrators, fighters and saviors. The movie shows the real power of a woman which hardly only few recognizes within them. It is a movie to stand for yourself and fight back for your rights and avenge yourself for all bad things that must have had happened in your life.

10. Angry Indian Goddesses

The movie that gives us friendship goals, which also proves that there isn’t just Bromance but there’s Sismance too! They vacationed together, lived their life and even if required took revenge for their girl friends. The best part is that it plays the conventional status of Indian women, where we are looking for a revolution which I feel is somewhere began. Not to forget how combinely they tease men, just want every other woman must have thought so to do!

11. Dor
