Movies that inspire me
There are some Bollywood movies that I feel proud of. Movies that make me think and feel hopeful that finally the status of women in this country is improving. I have always believed that the theatres and movies that a society produces is only a reflection of the society itself. I am so glad that women centric movies are becoming box office hits and lead female actors are being recognized for their amazing work.
These are the movies that do not make the woman some**** daughter, wife or sister. She is herself, she has her own identity. She struggles, fights, fails and eventually wins. She doesn need a man to rescue herself. She deals with her problems her own way head on.
Some of the movies have made a mark in my heart and no matter how many times I watch them I never get bored of them. There is always something new and different to learn from these movies. Following is the list of the movies that I love from the core of my heart.
Movie based on a true incident of famous Jessica murder [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] case in Delhi. A female bartender Jessica is shot in middle of a party with over 300 people and still the killers (sons of Delhi big shots) are not proven guilty. Jessica sister struggles for years to get justice for his sister, but all in vain. Then enters a female journalist, who makes it possible for Jessica to receive justice by few sting operations and boom killers are found guilty of the crime!
What I loved about this movie is the character of the journalist played by Rani. An ambitious, smart, intelligent girl who calls herself a bitch; she is sensitive, straight forward and hell of a fighter woman. All she is concerned about is her work of journalism for the betterment of society. She drinks, parties, has casual *** and is not a bit worried about what people think of her.
One dialogue that I will always remember from this movie choo kar ***a hai, kal rape karke jayega, tu ladna seekh This dialogue comes from Jessica who beats up an eve teaser who touches her sister on her chest. How many times girls like me have been victims to such eve teasing? This dialogue is a reminder to every girl to not tolerate but stand up and fight.
A becomes a overnight, just by revealing her ***uality and doing so called hot ***ual scenes in movies. An actress named Silk who takes on the world overnight in a society where *** is a taboo subject. People go and watch the hot scenes in her movies, but do not respect her. She is looked upon like a *** object by every man. But she hardly cares for it because she gets obsessed by her growing popularity and fame.
Eventually she ends up committing suicide because she realizes [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] that a woman like her can never expect to be respected. She can never hope to be some**** wife or daughter in law. This society only needs her for entertainment and she can easily [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] be replaced by another hot girl ready to reveal her ***uality.
Silk is very strong character played by Vidya. Not only is she ambitious but also knows her strengths clearly and understands how to use them to her advantage. She breaks the rule of how Indian women should behave; she shatters the myth that women are supposed to be non ***ual beings.
One of my favorite dialogues of this movie jo tum kar rahi ho wo bagaawat hai, saalon baad log isse azadi kahenge. Bas aise hi rehna, aandhi ki tarah, zyada sochna mat, zyada sochogi to hawa ho jaogi. This dialogue comes from a journalist to Silk telling her to never think about how society perceives her but continue to do what she is doing. Isn that the reality? I can so relate to it, sometimes when I follow my heart completely, I tend to make an impression on people which isn always positive. Unless I let that perception capture me, I am a perfectly satisfied happy human being but as soon as I start to think about what people think of me, my self expression goes down the drain.
Another dialogue that I loved is tum paida nahi hoti to logon ko pata kaise chalta ki aurat tumhare jaisi bhi ho sakti hai This one comes from Emraan Hashmi telling Silk that if she didn exist, people would have never known that a woman could be like her also. So true!
Another blockbuster from Vidya Balan! A 7 month pregnant woman is ready to take on the world to find her husband. She is ready to deal with anything, un cooperative cops, strange and unknown city of Kolkata and dangerous killers. It is unimaginable to think that a pregnant woman can do anything adventurous like this, yet she does. Although ending of the movie is totally surprising and shocking, I don want reveal it for any**** who hasn watched this brilliant movie.
The protagonist of this movie is not only courageous and fearless; she also has an ability to take huge risks and an unimaginable determination. She is an inspiration for many women. I once heard my friend who was 5 months pregnant tell her husband can continue my travel work while in this situation when Vidya Balan can go to Kolkata to look for her husband in her 7th month of pregnancy. This is the kind of inspiration this movie has given us to take on the world no matter what the situation is.
A team of totally un cooperative, unprofessional and hopeless girls in a hockey team manage to bag the world cup out of no hope. In this country, women are not encouraged in sports. Yes, of course some icons from this country like Sania Nehwal, Sania Mirza and Mary Kom have made it to the top of their sports profession, but it is a long way to go for women to be successful sports persons.
Right from childhood a sister is asked to help the mother in kitchen while brother is playing cricket outside in the field. In many communities even today when girl starts menstruating, she is restricted to play particularly with boys. Some diamonds that would have shined brightly in Olympics never even recognize their talent. There is a need to encourage girls to play and play as hard as they can. There is a need to encourage them to be fit and strong instead of being just pretty and nice.
These girls totally out of hope and support are trained by their coach who makes it his personal mission to make this team a winner team. One scene in this movie really touched me the scene when the girls have to play against the boys team to get the sponsorship for participating in world [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] cup, they are beaten up badly. But at the end of the match, the boys raise their hockey sticks in respect for the girls who give an unimaginable fight to them. The girls of course deserved it and that is what I learnt from it. To get your share of respect in this man world, you have fight against the men in a way that they respect you. Of course, this is better said than done.
A bare naked truth of Fashion industry is very well shown in this movie. A girl with an attitude comes to Mumbai to become a super model. Starting with a few bikini advertisements and lot of struggle, she manages to get a break in modelling. As she climbs the ladder of success at a speed of light, she loses what she once had peaceful relationships. She loses her boyfriend, her friends in light of her arrogance. Once a middle class girl now believes that she owns the world and that the whole world revolves around her.
Then a time comes when she is replaced by another new face in fashion industry, she starts to feel insecure but her fake arrogance makes her believe that she is undefeatable. Losing her success takes a toll on her, with no friends and no family to handle her during her down time, she starts to go crazy. In frenzy, she leaves the city to go back to her small town and her parents. After some time of psychiatric treatment, she decides to come back to the industry. She is launched again, this time by her real friends who support her, inspire her and help her get back to her feet.
This movie emphasizes one of my basic beliefs matter what you have achieved in life or what your talents are, if you are arrogant about it; it all goes down the drain Arrogance rips you off one most important thing meaningful relationships. And without people who care for you, you cannot be successful.
This is one of my all time favorites. Surprisingly, this movie did not do very well in box office and it is not a well known movie. But I could relate to this movie in multiple angles even though I haven turned 30 yet.
An ambitious and independent girl is dumped by her boyfriend for young hot looking girl just a week before she is turning 30. To add to her problems, she is not given the credit that she deserved at work and is also fired due to some serious politics. She is jobless, without a boyfriend and all she has are her two girlfriends who are dealing with their own problems in relationships. All this while she is also turning 30! She gets into a rebound with another man in a hope that her ex fiancee will come back to her. She gets desperate and out of the worst of her times, she regains hope and she re discovers herself and comes out a clear winner.
I can relate to her work politics so well in this movie. Even though, it is a bit exaggerated but they have shown the reality when a bunch of men competing against each other see a woman as a competition, they all unite to get the woman down first and once she is out, they continue to compete. This comes from my personal experience as well as what I have heard from other female friends [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] of mine. Of course, every**** story doesn end in a win like in this movie, but my belief in me always gets strengthened whenever I watch this movie.
I relate to this character a lot. I haven been through a serious break up, but I have been through very difficult times in my relationships. I know how it is to feel so desperate to get some**** attention and how one loses all the confidence and self respect when a relationship doesn work. But just like in this movie, in the times so tough she discovers her true strengths and her value in her own eyes. She comes to terms with herself and with her life.
This movie too isn very well known but is a must watch. Two very different aspects of a women life is depicted beautifully in this movie. One woman Meera, who [عزيزي الزائر يتوجب عليك التسجيل لمشاهدة الرابط للتسجيل اضغط هنا] is a widow in the harsh world of Rajasthan with no freedom; a place where girls do not have a right to live! Another woman Zeenat from Srinagar who has learnt to be independent and ambitious! Fate gets these two girls together to become friends because of their husbands. Zeenat has to come to Rajasthan to meet Meera whose husband was killed accidently by her own husband. She comes all the way Rajasthan with nothing but a picture of the Meera husband.
Not only is Zeenat courageous but she is also strong willed, doesn give up till the end no matter what circumstances life throws at her. And Meera who has learnt to compromise with her life, who doesn have any freedom and who knows that she is being sold off to another man by her in laws finally discovers her freedom and her calling in life by her very dear friend. She learns that life is truly your own when it is lived at your terms and not at the terms of the society.
I can never get enough of this movie, no matter how many times I watch it. Story of two friends who are ready to do anything, practically anything for each other! One of them is a housewife who loves to give all her time to her family, but suffers a miscarriage only to know that her uterus is not strong enough to hold the baby for full term. Her whole life shatters in front of her because all she wants is to have a family with lots of kids. Her name is Reva
While her best friend Sia, isn ready to get married till she achieves a certain success in her photography career. But when she knows what Reva is going through, they take a decision to let Sia be a surrogate mother to Reva and her husband baby. And this decision is easy to take but it takes a toll on the friendship of these two girls. Sia goes through even more because of the turmoil this decision takes on her relationship with her boyfriend who has been proposing to her since years.
I love the complication of the relationship shown so wonderfully. Four people who only mean well for each other make their relationships way stronger after going through this complication.
This movie is one of latest hits of Bollywood and it deserves a round of applause because it is extremely well done. A girl completely dependent on the males in her life is rejected by her fianc just a couple of days before marriage. She has never gone anywhere outside her own city without being accompanied by her father or brother. She is completely ignorant to the life that is outside her own safe circle.
