Mother Raveena Tandon shared her thoughts on how female characters are portrayed in Bollywood comedy today. Looking back on her journey in the genre, she said that women no longer get the roles that were common in Hindi films.The actress believes that there has been a noticeable change in the way female characters are written. According to him, today’s actors deserve more opportunities to showcase their acting talent using developed roles.
Raveena Tandon appreciates it Sridevi ‘s comic wisdom
In a chat with PTI, Raveena spoke about the actors who inspired her and set high standards for comedy. He singled out Sridevi, calling her one of the best examples of a heroine who excelled in screenplay while maintaining her on-screen presence. He said, “What he did in Mr. India, the whole Hawa Hawai series, the Charlie Chaplin act and Chaal Baaz was brilliant. He proved that a famous, very handsome hero can twist his face, be shy, slap, and still look interesting.”Apart from Sridevi, Raveena also praised Juhi Chawla for his game time. He remembered the famous actress well Geeta Bali and Madhubala, praising them for bringing wit, charm and spontaneity to comedy films.Sharing her observations on today’s film production, Raveena said that comedy films have evolved into larger, more structured productions. As a result, she feels that women’s playing time has dwindled. He explained, “The scene has changed, and honestly, we’ve lost some of the action scenes we had in the 90s. These days, action movies are very structured and plot-driven, or with big teams. With the passage of time, the comedy of the heroine has decreased.” According to the actress, the change in the style of the story has reduced the opportunity for women to drive the comedy on their own, unlike many films of the past few decades.
Raveena Tandon calls for well written women
The ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ actor also said that today’s actors can deliver memorable performances if they are given powerful tools. He believes that the issue lies in the way that most women are written and not the singers. She said, “Today’s girls are very sharp, polished, and have a great time, but her writings often only portray them as leading ladies rather than full-on dynamos. We want writers to intentionally create troubled, chaotic, and funny characters without worrying about making them seem perfect or politically correct all the time. “
