i am not sure if geet from jwm is an empowering character...since i saw the movie some time ago i might have not remembered much but i think it's mostly about this woman who goes crazy over a guy...the guy breaks her but again, she needs help of this another guy to get back up. that for me is not very empowering.

Let's be clear, empowering films are different from women oriented films. So kahaani and the dirty picture dont fit the bill for me. Fashion is the only film that i have seen that would be under the "empowering" tag. The character goes through a hurdle in her career, she faces the wrath of the patriarchal society but she comes back and becomes more successful in her career.

Seema Biswas- Bandit Queen. 😭


Vidya-- Kahani. (won't call Dirty Picture empowering since it showcases the main character get drunk with fame and narcissism and dig her own pit)

Kangna- Queen.
Monali- Lakshmi.
Sridevi- English Vinglish.
Priyanka- Fashion.
Rani- Mardaani and No One Killed Jessica.
