Kangana Ranaut, over the years, has proved herself as a powerhouse performer and became one of the most important figures in the realm of Bollywood. However, back in 2006, when this young, naive, and gorgeous newcomer stepped into the world of cinema with the crime drama film Gangster, nobody would have imagined that one day she would be nicknamed the 'Queen of Bollywood.' In her initial days, she was mocked for the way she spoke, the way she dressed, and the way she carried herself. All in all, her existence in Bollywood was questioned. Kangana did not let this stop her from realising her dreams as she improved her skills and, with each film, gained the flair that positioned her among the A-list female actors in the Hindi film industry.

Women writers and cast members have also gained ground in theatrical films. Last year, 27% of writers and 41% of cast members were women, compared to 17% and 40%, respectively, in 2019.
