8 march is celebrated as a woman's day on a international level, so today is a appropriate day to analysis that women in cinema is same or they have been changed during in 100 years. Dada sahab Falke known as the father of Indian Cinema who released his first film of bollywood Raja Harish Chandra in 1913. At that time women were ignored in movie due to antipathy. And male artist used to play the role of female.
There were very few actress who were rolled in Indian cinema like Devika and Zubaida. But now time has been changed n now there is uncountable list of actress of in Bollywood. The gate of Bollywood was opened by the Devika Zubaida who belonged to a very rich families and they have changed the era of cinema and brought the importance of the female artist.
Meena kumari , Waheeda Rehman, Madhubala,Suraiya, Asha Parik brought a drastic change into the audience mentality as well as importance of the female actress in Bollywood. there were some movie which were based on woman and the leading star were gals.In ancient time actor and actress were on the par but questions raises the same situation is as of now or it has been changed.
So we have to go to some actress that their role status and remuneration are equal or it has been changed. Lets see wats are opinion of the actress of 21 century. Are they equally treated in the terms of monetary and role.
As Kareena Kapoor says that Khans and a couple of other actor like salman and Shahrukh khan are woman actress are there only for giving the company to dance.the woman actress has to wait and has to say that give a chance something to do.and cheque has paid to actress and actor with a very different amount.
Kangakna Says the male actor take handsome amount then us they are paid more time to us. we dont get even one third amount of the male actress. and most of the movie is lead by male actress. main focus has paid to male actor.When devika ,Shobhana enterd into the film industry it was not easy to get achievement to change mind of audience at that time it was completely taboo. but the achieved the feat and create a good way for woman.
Devika gave the first scene of kiss and that was a long one at that time.
Zubaida was the heroen of Alam Ara and het high Zubaida was get high amount for the shooting of Alam Ara.
But now a days if female actress goes for the exposure and it sets tongue wagging or do something which is taboo then they get high paid otherwise from the story of the movie to credit male actor over take them. So on the woman day it must be take inspiration from the past and and actress are must be judged by their abilities not by the gender.
