The male stars have always dominated Hindi film. When compared to their female colleagues, they get the meatier roles, greater screen time, and, of course, a bigger paycheck. Over time, however, the prominent ladies are gradually regaining control. Some of them are vocal about salary inequity because they refuse to be reduced to simply visual candy in films. Several people have taken on the role of producer to convey the stories they've always wanted to tell. In other words, some women aren't afraid to defy preconceptions with their decisions.
As the year draws to a close, we've compiled a list of the greatest Bollywood ladies of 2021, who wowed us with their outstanding performances.
1. Deepika Padukone.
Deepika Padukone's sympathetic portrayal of a survivor of an acid assault in Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak brought us to tears. Despite the inconsistencies in the script, the actress felt every scene and acted it out with passion.
2. Taapsee Pannu
Taapsee has established herself as a formidable force on the silver screen when it comes to portraying strong women. Only an actress like her is capable of making a reserved character express a wide range of emotions without speaking too much. Pannu excelled once again in Anubhav Sinha's Thappad.
3. Vidya Balan
When it came to impressing us with her fiery portrayal in Anu Menon's Shakuntala Devi, Vidya Balan got her math right. Every time she showed us the late mathematician's funny side, we laughed out loud.
4. Kangana Ranaut
Kangana Ranaut delivered a thrilling performance as Jaya in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's sports drama Panga. We were moved by the actress's performance, which made us think, laugh, and even cry. Her panga in the movie, on the other hand, was worth it.
5. Konkona Sen Sharma
When Konkona Sen Sharma emerged on film in Alankrita Shrivastava's Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, our eyes glistened with happiness. Yes, she did a fantastic job in the movie!
6. Pednekar, Bhumi
In Alankrita Shrivastava's Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, Bhumi Pednekar's chemistry with her co-star Konkona Sen Sharma was electrifying. We were completely enamoured with their 'womanly' qualities!
7. Apte Radhika
In Honey Trehan's whodunit Raat Akeli Hai, the gifted actress was captivating as the mysterious Radha. Despite the film's slow pacing, Radhika's stunning performance had us glued to the screen.
8. Sanya Malhotra
Sanya Malhotra is an Indian actress who is known for her role in the film San. With two outstanding performances, Sanya Malhotra has made 2020 her year. Shakuntala Devi's Anupama Banerjee was a remarkable portrayal of her character's pain and helplessness. Sanya reappeared a few months later, this time as the lovable Ah.
9. Fatima Sana Shaikh
Fatima Sana Shaikh is a Muslim woman who was born in the United Arab Emirates.
In Anurag Basu's black comedy Ludo, Fatima Sana Shaikh gave a light-hearted performance as Pinky. The actress nailed her role in the movie, and she and Rajkummar Rao were a joy to see on screen together.
10. Madan Radhika
With her unorthodox film choices, the young actress has already captured our attention (Pataaka, Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota). Radhika gave a fantastic performance as a rebellious adolescent in Homi Adajania's Angrezi Medium. Her scenes with the late actor Irrfan Khan were very touching.
With the Indian movie industry continuing on its upward trajectory; the women in the industry are beginning to get a measure of the attention that their works deserve as more and more of them continue to do astounding works that place them on the same cadre as their male counterpart.
