if u r saying heroines r waste in bollywood,then i.e incorrect.whether its a bollywood,hollywoodr tollywood.A female character is always needed.if u think only with help of heros without heroines you can make a industry's name tht's impossible.as in this world woman give's support to man,the same is the process in industry. if a film isnot good may b b'coz of heroine's it bcomes a hit.as i known not every flim becomes hit of heros.so heroines like kajol in fanna,rani in black which became hit b'coz them.
Lets not even care about the film industry which runs on corruption. I sometimes wonder which idiot came up with the name "BOLLYWOOD". This industry is not even worth the spits of HOLLYWOOD. As for women with pivotal roles, when did our "DIRECTORS" even care about women !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. NEVER. This industry like us is hell bent on one thing : -"COPY AND PASTE". And the only thing we and this industry can copy are the bad half of western culture. So screw 'em
when have commercial hindi films treated most if not all of their actresses any differenct from being eye candy? Aren't the females always the decorative feathers to a preening peacock? Is this really a surprise????

Thats true. The DOR was defintiely the best of the lots..the problem is most of the women oriented movies are "experimentation" and low budget movies. I dont think people want to see the current women stars (read "bodies") like priyankas, kareenas etc acting..they just are their for posters and songs!! But there are some like Kajol , Aayesha who people come to watch beyond there skins!
The role of the heroine is evolving, I would say. Of course, actresses play a lot of eye candy in many films, but even besides Kareena in Omkara, there were plenty of roles in 2006 and more that showcases their opportune acting skills. For example:
- Ayesha Takia & Gul Panag in Dor - Kangana in Gangster & Woh Lamhe - Konkona Sen Sharma in 15 Park Avenue - Sushmita Sen in Chingaari & Zindaggi Rocks - Urmila Matondhkar & Juhi Chawla in Bas Ek Pal - Bipasha Basu in Corporate
Naturally though, a lot of the "popular" movies did not have female oriented roles - like Rani Mukherji in KANK or Priyanka Chopra in Krrish - and sadly enough these are the actresses that will be nominated for awards.
However, the bottom line is that there is no shortage of talented roles for actresses in hindi cinema. You just have to look for them. Perhaps in time, more roles and actresses like these will arise and become more prevalent.
Dor did very well, at least on the multiplex circuit, and had not one but two author-backed roles with superlative performances from both Ayesha Takia and Gul Panag!

both bollywood and its heroines 1.are boring. 2.are mere timepass else paisa vasool stuffs 3.nothing innovative. 4.ape the west most of the times..
and above all you are forgetting there is more to indian cinema apart from bollywood (espcially south indian movies)...
Indeed yes. THis is the Zamana of action movies and the Digital technology where acting plays a very insignificant role.Nowadys public is fed up of routine Rona-Dhona of heroines.Most of the movies are copied from action oriented Hollywood films where heroines are used as pepper and salt for some visual relief.(Take any James Bond movie for instance). So naturally heroines will have appearance here and there in bearest of bear minimum clothes (Thanks to Censor Board). skj
It is unfortunate that Female lead oriented films are rare in Bollywood these days.It is not true that there are no Star in female section who can not acrry any good subject by her own performance merit.WE can easily site two ladies in KAJOL AND RANI who has that extra merit to present demanding performance under good director.Ubfortunately at present looks and mass hysteria are gainging ground now a days rather then understanding good acting.MISS RAI might carry good audience in function and along with her personal and private affair but she is no where in acting as com- pared with KAJOL or RANI Mukherjee.Sabnaji is an example to prove the merit of acting above personal look or rivate affairs.Another star who is rare in film is Dimpleji.Some of the performances are just excellent.Give right script based on good story and select perfect star you will find outstanding per-formances.Remember every star can not be BIG B.He is a collosal in Internationa film industry.
