 JioHotstar: Must-Watch Women-Centric Films & Series

1. Pink

A hard-hitting courtroom drama that dismantled every “log kya kahenge” argument, Pink isn’t just a film, it’s a statement. Taapsee Pannu and her friends fight back against a system that too often puts women on trial instead of their perpetrators, while Amitabh Bachchan’s lawyer delivers the iconic “No means no” monologue that still echoes today. If you haven’t watched this yet, it’s time.

2. Mission Mangal

A film that proved women belong everywhere, including space. This high-energy drama follows the incredible women scientists behind India’s Mars Orbiter Mission, played by Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, and more. Between balancing equations and home duties, they launch India into interstellar history, proving that multitasking isn’t just a skill, it’s a superpower.

3. Neerja

Some heroes don’t wear capes. They wear flight attendant uniforms. Neerja tells the heart-wrenching real-life story of Neerja Bhanot, played by Sonam Kapoor, who saved hundreds of lives on a hijacked plane at the cost of her own. It’s gripping, emotional, and a powerful reminder that true strength isn’t about muscle, it’s about courage.

Kajol steps into the shoes of a woman who thought her life was set, until her husband’s corruption scandal forces her to start over. A homemaker-turned-lawyer, she doesn’t just return to the courtroom, she owns it. The Trial is all about second chances, redemption, and proving that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

5. Aarya

Sushmita Sen is in her most badass role yet as Aarya, a woman who steps up when the men around her fail. One day, she’s a devoted wife; the next, she’s running an empire of crime and chaos—while still protecting her family. Aarya is gripping, thrilling, and proof that sometimes, the most dangerous player in the game is the one you least expect.

6. Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo

Think Breaking Bad, but with sarees and sass. Saas, Bahu Aur Flamingo flips the script on the usual kitchen politics, introducing Dimple Kapadia as the ruthless matriarch of a drug cartel. Forget tears and tantrums—these women mean business, and they’re taking no prisoners.

7. Helicopter Eela

Kajol returns as a single mom who does the unthinkable—goes back to college and lands in the same classroom as her teenage son. Between embarrassing him in front of friends and rediscovering her own dreams, Helicopter Eela is a heartwarming take on self-growth, proving that moms are always the real.
