The enchantingly glittering existence of the glamorous celebs is the underlying theme of Madhur Bhandarkar’s celebrity. Is it as glamorous as it seems to be? Well, the question is answered through the experience of a journalist who is assigned to focus on celebrity lifestyle. In course of reporting, the journalist (played by Konkona Sen Sharma) discovers the stark reality behind the apparent sham. The poignant delineation of the debutante Konkona Sen Sharma earned the actress the prestigious film fare award. Even the film received multiple awards in different categories.
5. Astitva
Written and directed by the renowned Mahesh Manjrekar, Astitva probes the identity of a woman. The unique conclusion of the film strikingly portrays how a woman can go beyond the folds of matrimony to etch out her own independent existence; a separate identity where she does not necessarily need the support of a man. The critically acclaimed film revolved around the protagonist Aditi (Tabu) in her search for identity.
Having travelled far beyond the realms of home and the hearth, the above mentioned films showcase the myriad struggle of women in their desire for making an impact on society at large.
