The concept of female film is not new in Hindu cinema, but whenever a film with a female protagonist appears, it is the only thing anyone can talk about. The idea of a woman directing a film is still foreign to some, which is why the term “film driven by women” refuses to abandon the vernacular of a spectator who goes to the cinema. In a chat with Vidya Balan, which was recently seen in Jalse, the indianexpress.com actor asked why we still like to associate movies with this tag and Vidya he had an interesting shot. The actor shared that the tag is somewhat necessary given the huge difference between men’s and women’s films.
Vidya He said: “When there are enough films directed by women, I don’t think we will feel the need to specify ‘it’s a film directed by women’. If you see that huge number of men-directed movies vs. The number of films directed by women is still lagging behind, which is why I think we still need to label our films. But yes, we are going in the right direction. “
Vidy’s career is made up of various strong characters, and many of these characters came at a time when mainstream female actors were often seen playing not-so-mass roles in big-budget extravagants. In the last few years Vidya she played the famous mathematician in Shakuntala Devi, the forest clerk in Sherni and the journalist in Jalsa, and with each role she plays on the screen, the complex nature of the characters she plays is emphasized. Vidya shared that the parts offered to her were “no longer one-dimensional” and “not only defined in terms of her relationship to the men in the story.” “We are perceived as people with our own struggles, with our own triumphs, with our own desires and dreams, with our own individual paths. “You see it on the screen, but it’s also because I think that in the world around us, women are coming to the forefront, and that only has to be reflected in what you see on the screen,” she said.
Actress Parineety is humble that the roles she now offers are subtle and layered, but the fact is that she has played such characters since the beginning of her career. “I assume he is the center of attention in his life. I think that’s why I lean towards the stories I make, “she said. Speaking of the gender imbalance that is somewhat obvious in our society, Vidya added:do jism ek jaan“And I keep saying ‘listen, please don’t buy it because do jism aur aadmi ki jaan, humari jaan rehti nahi hai ‘. I feel that the way we women look at each other, what we want from our lives and how we achieve it has changed. It will also find a translation on the screen. “
The Kahaani actor was one of the trend setters among her generation of artists who chose roles that contributed to the conversation, but Vidya shared that she never really had a “strategic plan.” She has shared it to this day, she is still going with the flow and it seems to be working well for her.
Vidya will next time be seen in a romantic comedy with Pratik Gandhi, Sendhil Ramamurthy and Ileana D’Cruz directed by Shirsh Guha Thakurt.
