Madhuri Dixit talked about today’s female-centered movies and how women are taking on a wide range of jobs.
Dixit feels that this is a “fantastic moment and age for women in cinema.”
In an interview with a media outlet, the actress said “Today, when you say a female-centric picture, it’s not simply about a woman seeking retribution or being a victim and ultimately triumphing over all difficulties,” the actress said in an interview. Women are now featured in films. They are ordinary people who are not looking through the eyes of a man or a woman.They’re showing what modern women truly do-work, be housewives, pursue various careers, excel in sports, and so on. And it’s fantastic because you get to represent a range of characters, and women have so much more to do onscreen. “
She also discussed OTT platforms, stating that she felt they had a significant influence in altering people’s perceptions of female leads.
The actor from Dil To Pagal Hai is going to make her OTT debut with The Fame Game.
“When OTT arrived, people began to see women depicted differently on screen than they had seen in the cinema,” she said. Women have such well-written and developed characters in these online shows. The writers are developing screenplays with a contemporary sensibility, not a patriarchal attitude. “
The 54-year-old actress believes that women in movies deserve more than ‘dancing‘ or ‘a few sentences.‘
“As a result, viewers have evolved and now want to see women in more significant parts, not merely as someone who would dance or deliver a few phrases. They expect more from women onscreen, which is fantastic for everyone, “she said.
Madhuri, the web series’s premiere, follows the life of a famous actress who goes missing. Speaking about women taking initiative ‘in front of cameras,‘ she reflected on her own experience as a newcomer to the film industry.
“It’s amazing to see women not just in front of the camera, but also in other areas of a film set,” Madhuri said. I recall when I first began working and used to visit sets. The only ladies there were myself, my co-stars, and the hairdresser. That is all. There was not a single female employee in any other department.
“However, when I visit a set nowadays, girls are everywhere—assistant directors, camera operators, writers, directors, and photographers.” She concluded. Previously, there existed a hierarchy where men could only apply cosmetics and women could only do hair; this is no longer the case, and things have evolved. “
