When we go to watch a film we always ask for the star cast specially the hero and not for the heroine because our mind is set that a film can run successfully if the leading actor is good. Women are not taken seriously with the character’s they play, they are only meant to run round the trees, holding hands or have romantic scenes they are weak, docile and submissive especially portrayed in Bollywood films while in Hollywood they are shown as sex symbol or they are physically strong and independent in their life . This paper is all about women in films and their gender oriented roles. It further focuses on how these roles develop the mindset of people. How the themes interpreted in movie can influence the people in terms of gender. In this paper I would like to focus on those character’s who have inspired many young girls to join sports and make their living through sports and achieve name and fame for themselves as well as their country. No more they are the inferior sex but a person with magnanimous personality, a role model for young generation

Key Word: Gender, Mindset, Magnanimous personality, role model,
