1..Mother India
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/66cdf5eb84e1abb57bb1479a2d052bc7.jpg
The first woman-oriented film that comes to mind is ‘Mother India’. This film was definitely par excellence and thought-provoking. It made a powerful impact, representing India after Independence, being the avant-garde in introducing the woman to her inner strength which probes her to emerge victorious. This role essayed by Nargis was a benchmark .There has perhaps been no other woman-centric film that matches up to with this one.
2.Kahanni

This much-acclaimed Sujoy Ghosh film was the best way a modern woman would deal with circumstances and make the most of her inner strength. We’d never seen a pregnant woman on a quest to find her husband. Vidya Balan gave a compelling performance. Kahaani broke all barriers and aced the tests of the masses and classes.
3.Damini

Damini, brought out the protective nature of a woman. Damini played by Meenakshi Sheshadri tries hard to get justice for someone she doesn’t even know. She tries to protect a maid who can’t fend for her own rights. In the process she challenges her husband’s family and society itself. Now that’s the true essence of womanhood. Her never say die spirit.
4..The Dirty Picture:
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/a457b9782ba9aaae10262e5d3f866353.jpeg
The most recent bollywood blockbuster, Dirty Picture garnered critical acclaim as well as commercial success. Starring Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor; the movie is an unofficial biopic of Southern se symbol Silk Smitha, her rise to fame, heartbreaks, affairs and downfalls. Directed by Milan Luthria, the movie shows Vidya Balan as Reshma/Silk in itsy bitsy cleavage showing blouses performing raunchy dance numbers. The powerful and crisp dialogue delivery and easy portrayal of the character took the attention away
5..Lajja:
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/c83e8675e748025262940283b5732da6.jpeg
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Lajja, was released in 2001. The movie ridiculed the status of women in the Indian society and the restrictions on them. Lajja recounts the story of four women and starred some of the well-known names of the industry like Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Manisha Koirala, Mahima Chaudhry, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Samir Soni and Ajay Devgan. The film revolved around the characters Vaidhehi (Manisha Koirala, main character of this film), Maithali (Mahima Chaudhary), Janki(Madhuri Dixit), and Ramdulaari (Rekha) that are considered to be the versions of Sita.
6..Chandni Bar:

Released in 2001, Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Chandni Bar’ was an emotional story of a sex worker and how she fights to afford a better lifestyle for her kids, keeping them away from the gritty world of prostitution. The lead role of the sex worker was played by Tabu. She also walked away with the national award for best actress
7..Zubeidaa:
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/66b9eb533debb21667e56daf018519c5.jpeg
Shyman Benegal’s movie, Zubeidaa was released in 2001 and starred Karisma Kapoor and Rekha in important roles. The movie mainly revolves around the story of a girl [Karisma Kapoor,the lone daughter of a filmmaker named Suleman Seth (Amrish Puri], who gets married into a royal family and vexes about the precincts on her as princess and often voices her aggravation at not having her husband to herself. The movie also touches upon the story of Riyaz’s (Rajit Kapoor) search to understand his mother (Karisma Kapoor).
8.Bandini
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/d9f29d99f9df82c5b3dd876d6ceb2330.jpg
‘Bandini’ , meaning beloved, tells the tale of the typical Indian woman Kalyani who is helpless, sacrificing and weak yet strong in her own way. She’s always torn making a choice between the past and the future. Tagged as Nutan’s finest performance, she has played the role with great versatility.
9.ARTH
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/edfe9ad30b385be9040f813e907c554f.jpg
Bold and Beautiful, Arth came from the evergreen Mahesh Bhatt. Its protagonist Pooja, portrayed by Shabana Azmi, faces downfalls at every juncture in life the biggest being not having a child. Even the hysterical character essayed by the late Smita Patil ditching the man is a turning point. This movie also reinforces the streak of independence in a woman.
10.Khoon Bhari Maang
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/5cf1e38acfe515d388e9a30f6f690374.jpg
Rakesh Roshan´s tale, Khoon Bhari Maang, is the story of a woman who takes revenge on her husband for all his chauvinist misdeeds. The vicious tale of the man who tried to push his wife into the jaws of death (a lake full of crocodiles) still remains a classic after all these years. With this movie, Rekha sets an example for all those submissive women who need a voice to support them.
111..7 Khoon Maaf:
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/a33a8aef4b200b8dfad1732a9b6c0e04.jpeg
A 2011 black comedy drama thriller – Saath Khoon Maaf – was directed by Vishal Bharadwaj and had Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. Priyanka Chopra won vital commendation for her performance as Susanna, a potentially loathsome sequential spouse-killer. At the beginning Priyanka's character seemed negative but at the same time it gave an insight into a woman's heart and soul. Rather than hate her, many ended up sympathizing with her
12.Bandit Queen
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/eb9860c9a66ad97ec019af10301444b0.jpg
There is no place in the world where a woman feels safe. Especially not the Chambal ravines. Bandit Queen, goes along the lines of killing the woman in Phoolandevi , forcing her to strike back in vengeance with rebellion. Seema Biswas, carries off the role with great motivation, setting an example that the average Indian woman will tolerate, but not beyond a level. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
13.Astitva
http://www.anonmgur.com/up/7c96ea9bdfbc0dd5da10531bc3e88b9e.jpg
‘Astitva’, the film, makes you want to sympathise with the lead actor Tabu. The story is her journey of rediscovering herself and evolving an identity. This movie highlights the domestic violence a woman has to bear in a marriage. The catch being how she tackles it with positivity, not forgiving and tolerating.
