Ninth International Conference on The Image

Abstract

In the online world of Films, we are likely to find our ideal images on the screen. It has been argued and established firmly in the history that films are more likely to project the myths or the constructed images of women. It is only a century since women have been recognized and considered as having some rights and their own voices. Fortunately, even Bollywood, the Hindi Film Industry has also reached the age of 100 years. In my Paper, I would make an attempt to highlight the journey of women in Bollywood in the last 100 years and how the films have the major role in the construction of the image of women in the society. Although the film cannot be the only parameter to analyze the growth or the failure of the image for women, it is one of the vital media to analyze the status, role, image, and representation of women in the social realm.
