Perhaps this is why DDLJ is so popular till date although I never thought it was great shakes. For once, the hero wasn't stealing his woman away from her family and running way or fighting them. He waited to take approval from her parents. That was new for action-infested 90s. It gave equal importance to the girl's character and her feelings.

Once karan johar stated that amir is the gamechanger for indian cinema...i disagreed in that thread when people were going gaga over Amir Khan...and said it's SRK who should be given the credit...people laughed at me😭

Maybe a bit biased... but LOVED this article😛

i am not denying it but the article makes it sound as if only salman movies show women as weak while the fact is masala movies never had much powerful roles for actresses ! The article is showing salman in a bad light just to show SRK in a good light

NB...sweetheart...try reading the article...Its not showing anyone in bad light...just looking at how different actors in different era have behaved towards women...In Big B's era ...he was shown protecting the women by beating up the bad men...how is that bad?? I think that it more or less depends on how our society viewed at women in different eras...

zaalim hai ye duniya 😆

Amazing article, beautifully written and states some very valid points. Thanks to the writer for making people look at it this way too, well done!! SRK was indeed the game-changer, the roles he dared to do back then changed how people viewed BW, BW eveolved from the macho men image to the softer side of the male lead and I can't believe it was Aditya Chopra's DDLJ that brought about that change, what has happened to him now? Kudos to SRK for taking us such roles, he was so daring- first he took up the negative roles when no one wanted to, then he took up roles like Raj from DDLJ and even after that, the films he did, his heroines had a substantial roles in most of them. Aweinyein bichare ko badnaam kiya hua hai, no one ever looks at the good side. 😆

And KHKN, ah, I loveee that film! 😳

The article may be a bit biased but what it is trying to convey would remain the same regardless, loved it BI, thanks for posting! :D

i agree about SRK- his movies did start the trend of actresses having equal footage but salman definitely deserves a mention as well

HAHK any one?

this movie speaks a lot!:

the worst in this category would be amitab and jitendra! their era had nothing special for women but SRK, salman and aamir did change that trend big time!

imagine heroines that time shone when they had limited opportunities- kudos to rekha, sri devi and others, i am sure if they started in today's time they would have totally over shadowed all the actors!
