7. Amrita in Thappad
Amrita aka Amu is perhaps one of the most important depictions of womanhood in recent times. In the movie, right from her mother-in-law to her lawyer tried to normalize and rationalize the action of her husband which she didn't agree on. She took a stand for herself, deciding to not stay in a forced marriage where she can’t respect her husband any longer. This felt like the big screens finally acknowledging the domestic, physical and emotional abuse, even if it looked like ‘just a slap’ to the outside world.
