Mary, the cousin of Queen Elizabeth I, is one of the most controversial personalities from the Elizabethan era. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary was merely six days old when she was named the queen and was engaged to King Francis of France at a very young age. The first season begins with the queen’s arrival to the French court, and as the story unfolds, we get to witness a perfect blend of passion and politics while covering significant events of queen mary’s real life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later in the show, more powerful female characters from European history, including Catherine de Medici and Elizabeth I, are introduced, and their personalities are equally inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lipstick Under My Burkha <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Written and directed by Alankrita Shrivastava, Lipstick Under My Burkha is India’s first women-centric dark comedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The movie is about four women. Rehana (an aspiring pop star), Shirin (an oppressed housewife), Leela( a beautician living a claustrophobic life), and Usha (an aging widow with a secret affair). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beauty of this story lies in the fact that all these women are shown taking down the patriarchy in their little ways. Just like the name suggests, the film is all about Indian women snatching their freedom back from society with little acts of rebellion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mimi <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Centered around ‘Surrogacy,’ which is still an untouched avenue in Bollywood movies, Mimi is a film set around a small-town girl’s surrogacy journey. Kriti Sanon effortlessly essays the titular role, and Pankaj Tripathi always wins our hearts with his versatile acting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a light and humorous film that makes you laugh aloud when chaos unfolds after the secret of Kriti’s pregnancy spills out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from the funny parts, it also gives you an insight into the multitude of emotions that a surrogate mother feels when she has to let go of the baby she birthed. All in all, it is one of the most beautiful women empowerment movies Bollywood has ever produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
