A film based on girl/woman power...Your thoughts & opinions?

We all know that back in the day a lot of people considered giving birth to a daughter as a sin. In the industry we have many families that only have girls in the household. Karisma-Kareena, Shilpa-Shamitta, Kajol-Tanisha just to name a few. A lot of inspirational movies have been made and are being made. What do you all think about a movie that talks about this issue. About how even girls are powerful, strong, and just as convincing as men. Do you think this film would work? Basically it would show and depict the strength and power of a girl child. I would love to see a film on this issue. It sucks how our country once was a country that gave no respect to daughters that were born.

Many such films have been made. But they should make more and better films, where girls are not abused, and do not resort to cheap ways (ONS or prostitution) to make a place for themselves. CDI is the best girl power film in a long time. Girls should be happy for who they are and not be portrayed as bechaaris who had to make place in world just because there was no male heir in family.

For way too long, Indian society was filled with hypocrites who worshiped Devi on one side and killed a baby girl on the other. I hope things are changing for the better now.

I am all for strong women movies. I would love a movie based on the life of Indra Nooyi, CEO of Pepsi. She was born in Chennai and worked in India before going to the US to study. Very inspirational.

I can recall DOR ..a strong film on women yet nothing preachy

Yes CPR.

I would like to see such films if they keep out excess melodrama and preaching. Giving a message subtly through a strong story is the best.

unfortunately , that's just how indian culture is. May be its getting better little bit, but there is still a long way to go. Indian movies show the same backward mentality. Movies like fashion and heroine show that ambitious girls eventually get trapped in drugs and get involved with married men. women cant be in high top position by their hard work.
