This book examines how contemporary Indian cinema, particularly from 2010 onwards, portrays and represents women not only in films and television but also across new media platforms such as OTT and digital media. The diverse essays address issues of gender violence, sexuality, performance, domestic and public spaces, as well as the role of women in the Indian film industry. Drawing on current global gender discourses such as #MeToo, ‘Time’s Up’, LGBTQIA rights, the call for equal wages for women, and other socio-cultural debates within Indian society, the book offers a critical analysis. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in film studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and South Asian studies.
