Women empowerment is a big topic today. From the #ShareTheLoad ad to the current movies like #Pink, it is just about everywhere. When there is a set of Bollywood movies that show women as a pretty face, circling around the hero, there are the other sets of movies like #Akira, #ADeathInGunj and the latest addition #Jaago from Rock On 2 that show the power of women and her fights.
If you are still thinking, what's the buzz all about, then here is something that you need to know before you book your tickets this weekend.
This is the first song released from the upcoming movie, Rock On 2. The song is beautifully addressed to all the women of the nation. This three minute song from the movie asks each of them to realize their potential while creating their own distinctive identity in the world. Just hear it out.
Talking about the issues, which he penned down in the heartfelt letter to his granddaughter, Amitabh Bachchan released this powerful video to show the consequences of silencing a woman around you.
The internalization of the negative thoughts that today's women have been through is the most evident impact of all those rants that have been passed to judge the moral character of a woman in the contemporary society. #ThisNeedsToBeStopped
"This is for girls who stay up all night,
This is for you who are willing to fight,
For hidden fears,
Hurt, pain, and tears,
Under the smiles, laughs, and giggles we hear."
"Fighting Like A Girl" is Shah Rukh's way of inspiring all the girls that are struggling with their life, yet they have that urge to fight their way to become something!
Starring Radhika Apte, Suvreen Chawla, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Leher Khan and Adil Hussain, "Parched" will also be dealing with women related issues. It revolves around everday struggle of a woman and will address important social issues like domestic violence, marital rape, child marriage, violence against women and gender discrimination etc.
#Pink is releasing tomorrow and though it is stated as a social thriller, it touches on the sensitive points of different social evils that women are plagued with.
We are now at a point, where India is slowly acknowledging the problems women face and is ready to make a change.
