Is Bollywood sidelining women again?

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

After a heap of woman-oriented films from Bollywood last year, this year
seems devoted to men. Barring the sensational "Murder", no female-oriented
film has done well this year, not even brash skin-fests like "Hawas". The
cool crop of simmering summer releases demonstrates a marked marginalisation
of the female protagonist. Actresses like Tabu, Urmila Matondkar and Karisma
Kapoor who have lately specialised in doing woman-oriented subjects are
biding their time, waiting for a proper assignment to come their way. In the
meanwhile their peers are happy being the decorative dolls.
