Whatever happened to the simple village girl who was content dancing around mustard fields with the poetry-spouting hero? Or the devoted city woman who was ever willing to suffer silently and sacrifice everything for her beloved? Have the women in Hindi cinema suddenly grown into hardened, cynical, vengeful creatures? And are the heroines now nudging the heroes aside to dominate the silver screen?
In Avtar Bhogal's Zakhmi Aurat, it is clear from the beginning that motorcycle-borne police inspector Dimple Kapadia means business. She packs a deadly punch, knocks out hoodlums with karate kicks, and uses her service revolver freely. But the true heart of steel is revealed after she is gang-raped - she shuns her fiance's suggestion to forget and get married, and instead devotes her life to the methodical castration of all the rapists in the city.
With the formula has come a new category of cinema - women-oriented films - with the female character played by a prominent heroine dominating the screenplay with or without well-known heroes in tow. "Times have changed, thank God," says Rekha, who alone is cast in at least 10 women-oriented films. "For the first time the heroine has emerged as a strong, tough woman willing to fight back, reflecting the Indian woman of today."
Of course, everybody knows where this lonely lady has come from. Not from Mehboob's classic Mother India, in which the woman elicited great sympathy, but from N. Chandra's sensationally successful Pratighat, with the woman provoking fear, even revulsion. With an unknown actress portraying a college teacher seeking revenge after she is publicly stripped. Chandra created one of the biggest money-spinners of recent times. From Laxmi-Saraswati, the woman was now Kali, from the benefactor she was now the destroyer.
Is this strong avenging woman just a new twist then to the old formula, because the angry hero, played to such profit by Amitabh Bachchan, has become too monotonous for audiences? Or are Hindi film producers, who in the past would rarely risk making a film without a prominent hero, responding to the need for a different kind of mythical heroine?
Adds Chandra: "The concept of the woman is changing gradually. Earlier, she had to project an image of peace, now it has to be an image of destruction." Chandra himself is making Tezaab with Madhuri Dixit playing the main role of a rebellious, independent city woman.
But stars like Dimple and Amrita Singh view the large number of women-oriented films under production, with at least a dozen slated tor release later this year, as an enjoyable but transient phenomenon. "People are giving unnecessary significance to these films." asserts Dimple. "They will never take over Hindi cinema."
Adds Amrita. who played a dacoit in Khoon Bahaa Ganga Mein: "Ours is a male-dominated society. To be honest, only a star like Sridevi can carry off a woman-oriented film." Critic Iqbal Masud is more emphatic. "This trend will die with Sridevi," he says. "These films won't establish a myth which can become a part of an enduring formula."
The woman-oriented film reached its commercial pinnacle with top stars like Sridevi and Dimple. But the character of the strong, self-willed woman was actually born in the new cinema of the 70s with actresses like Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. In film after film these two actresses took up complex roles, for the first time bringing to the Hindi screen a consistently serious focus on women.
But whether the formula is a durable success or not. there is no denying the fact that studios are churning out films with heroines in the lead. So much so that the heroines now have to do everything that the hero does, and a little more, even in male-dominated films. As Sridevi points out, earlier she would be sure of having to do a song-and-dance number in every film. now she knows that a fight sequence has got to be there also.
In K.C. Bokadia's latest, untitled film, she even fights villain Anupam Kher single-handed while hero Jackie Shroff looks on. It is no different for the other heroines, whether it's Mandakini hugging an AK-47 rifle in Commando, or Hema wielding knives in Hiraasat, or Rekha fighting the corrupt with karate in Bhrashtachar.
Take four. Scene 46. A steaming hot, dingy jail on the sets of Deepak Mirchandani'sMadam Xat the Filmistan Studios in Bombay. Between two subdued police constables stands the beautiful, defiant Madam X - Rekha in a flamboyant magenta costume, complete with turban, black fishnet gloves and black leather boots. As she regally enters her cell, the police chief cannot conceal his excitement at having nabbed the notorious international criminal.
The less fantastic, more human heroine of Hindi commercial cinema - portrayed occasionally even in recent films likeWaarisstarring the late Smita, or inEk Chadar Maili Siwith Hema - now appears to have largely migrated to the small screen. It is in Doordarshan serials likeUdaan, featuring kavita Choudhury. that credible female characters rooted in an identifiable social milieu can be seen.
For Hindi commercial cinema. even a semblance of reality is no longer necessary. Woman police inspectors have invaded Hindi films in battalion strength. and more than one has 'Kiran' as her first name - but that is about the only link with the real-life model, Delhi's controversial police officer Kiran Bedi. "Credibility has virtually disappeared from Hindi films." says Benegal.
Super hit Action movie Pratighat (2006) (Hindi dub of Telugu movie Vikramarkudu)
The movie is also remade in hindi - Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar.
Synopsis: Athili Sathi Babu (Ravi Teja) is a small-time thief and crook who is crazy about acts of daredevilry. He falls in love with Neeraja (Anushka Shetty). One day, he gets the shock of his life when a young girl turns up and claims him to be her father. After recovering from the stunning blow, he slowly starts to find out the truth behind the claim. It turns out that the girl is the daughter of Police Officer Vikram Singh Rathod (Ravi Teja). He is on the run from the notorious Chambal dacoits. He hides himself in Hyderabad. But after getting hit in the head and getting stabbed a couple of times, Rathod dies in front of Babu.
Babu now goes to the Chambal valley and settles the score on behalf of the dead Rathore
ravi teja was my favorite hero when i was a kid. he was just this big goofy uncle who could make you laugh with pretty much every line he said. i wanted to watch all of his movies, and vikramarkudu was at the top of my list.
If I have ever had a chance to live a day as S.S Rajamouli's character that would be Vikram Rathod. Few dialogues but the impact is huge, Screen time is less but memory of the him is unforgettable. He is the most relatable character for me as a person in his filmography. Equally tough, resilient, and soft-hearted guy. He has won over his death with a smile what can be a higher achievement than that?
While watching Vikramarkudu it was apparent to me this is the work of a man who would later make RRR. The police officer with an unstoppable, seemingly infinite fighting spirit, a big intermission that sheds light on his true motivations and hords of people getting inspired to fight their opressors (in this case a local mob boss) on their own. When our protagonist, a small-time crook and thief trying to live an honest life, gets mixed up with this soldier of righteousness because they look exactly the same, things really get going.
I was skeptical of Indian Bollywood, and I still am, to an extent. Interesting problem. Do I need to watch only that which I approach in "good faith," authentically? My primary means of engagement here was irony ... sign of the times. I think that in some ways this style of film is like modernist painting - it draws attention to the medium, the artifice. The dances were the clear winner in this movie. I liked them a lot. Watching this with friends made it an interesting social experience, which I rarely have with film. Very unique experience, and definitely a novel one.
3.75/5. The comedy hit a bit different this time with actually funny set pieces and Brahmhanandham carrying the movie hands down in its down moments. The vulgarity still there but the comedy also has its place. Mass impact em thaggaledu ra Ayya??
Now, before a few days left to release the movie in cinemas,' the actor actresses along with the whole team of the movie are seen busy to do postering of the movie in Ganeshguri on Monday night. The center characters of the movie are Amrita Gogoi and Diganta Hazarika and the child actress Ashramika Saikia.
