Married heroine in Bollywood

Yes sir. The belief  that Unmarried Hero and Heroine will be successful at the Box office has been shattered with the un conventional movie Kabhi Kabhi. More than that the movie was successful and I hope the trend will continue.

Yeh Raaste Hai pyar ke was also about a married woman played by the beautiful Leela Naidu  and her affair with a playboy Rehamn and the dilemma her husband, played by Sunil Dutt,  faces when he is confronted with the truth. For those days it was a land mark film..

Now the movies are cast in the same mould. If you see one movie you have seen all. It requires guts to produce an off beat movie. New wave movie movies started with Shyam Benegal, if I am right Actors like Naseeruddin Shaw and Girish Karnad set new trends in the field of histrionics.

 Yeh Rastey Hai Pyar Ke was based on a real life story of Nanavati.

Stereotypes are indeed changing in Bollywood which is turning more and more towards reality than fair tales and fancy dramas. Earlier, the moment a heroine got into wedlock, no matter how young and beautiful she was, she immediately could be cast only in the roles of mother and sister. A heroine had to be a single woman. Now more and more heroines are still playing the main role even after being married for years, example, comeback film of Madhuri Dixit, Kajol etc.

True. The belief that  after marriage everything comes to a grinding halt is gradually fading away.  Sri Devi has staged a great comeback with her movie EnglishVinglish.

Yes she looked every bit as beautiful and young as she was more than a decade ago before she disappeared!

 For some SriDevi's action looks childish. But that's her uniqueness. In the movie EnglishVinglish her humorous acting proved that she retained her versatility as before.

The movie is based on a true story. There is well known Nanavati (a naval officer) case.
