We all know that Bollywood (and the other regional film industry) is enormously influential. It has tremendous reach across societal classes. It influences advertising industry, television, politics, news and in fact almost everything related to infotainment in India. It is often referred to as India’s soft power in the area of international diplomacy. May be it is time that Bollywood starts getting ahead of the curve on social issues and not appeal to the purely baser instincts?

I am aware that this is not a solution to what ails India on women’s issues but it will contribute.
