They take a step forward to show the world what real film making is. These movies will leave you mesmerized and will inspire you.

The Bollywood movies portray women either as an item or sex material, who always needs a man (the hero), who will come and protect her from the villain. Their roles and character in the story, the item songs that they perform speaks well about how they are seen by the men of the society.
