Madhuri Dixit is one of the most fantastic
actors and dancers in the film industry. The
actor ruled hearts with her performances in
the Hindi film industry and has now entered
the Marathi cinema with the film Bucket List.
Her Marathi film Bucket List released last
week and is loved by the audience.
In an interview with IANS, the actor opened
up about working in Marathi industry and
her thoughts on women-centric cinema.
About working in the Marathi film industry,
Madhuri said, "If you want to try your luck in
Marathi film, you have to be Marathi
speaking. If you are not, then you tend to try
your luck in Hindi cinema."
"Also, Marathi films (earlier) did not have the
appeal we have today. It is more evolved
and more appealing to the young
generation. Technically, its production values
are no less than a Hindi film," said the actor.
She added, "In my case, in the first place, I
had no ambition to become an actress. I
was happy doing my dance, acting in school
plays, my study and everything. Films
happened to me, so I just started with Hindi
films and continued doing that."
About movies based on women and how
women-centric films are getting more
interesting, Madhuri Dixit said, "I think
writers understand the women better today
than in our earlier days. Therefore, they are
writing much better characters for us. I
think the definition of female-centric cinema
has changed now and that is very
interesting for all of us. Earlier it used to be a
woman taking revenge, someone who was
victimised rising like a phoenix... a woman
doing lot of action.Such kind of films were
considered female-centric film."
The Devdas actor adds, "I was fortunate
enough to play various characters from the
beginning of my career. So whether it is
Tezaab, Dil or Beta... My character had her
own mind. In today's writing, women are
treated on a cerebral level. Characters are
close to reality."

Madhuri makes sense.
In the past, heroines were mostly pretty, chirpy, or mothers . They were quite limited in what the script allowed them to show. Not saying in all movies, but it was a general issue.
Nowadays a lot more scripts are based on modern women and their issues, which allows for a bigger exploration of character and more defined roles.
