ACTING GENDER - Gender Discourses in Malayalam Cinema

The book confers on how women are etched in the novel pages of the M-town of the 21st century; how the nomenclature of the so-called bold and beautiful women characters is rolled out in the celluloid; and how they act and survive the social stigma and stereotypes imposed in their daily life. The referred films in the book come in varied ­­­­­cuisines colours and costumes; but they are sturdily wrapped in strenuous freedom individuality and empowerment of women. The characters do not succumb to any fixed demarcations; in fact they are robust and dynamic.
