Kajol, a popular Bollywood actress, recently discussed the underperformance
of women-led films in theaters and attributed it to the spending power of
the audience. According to her, the lackluster performance of such movies
is primarily driven by commercial factors rather than the quality of the
content or the talent involved. Kajol believes that the audience’s
willingness to spend money on films featuring male leads contributes to the
disparity. While this observation highlights the existing gender disparity
in the film industry, it also emphasizes the need for broader societal
changes to ensure equal opportunities and support for women-led projects.
