What is the role of a woman in Tamil movies? Is she portrayed with the dignity that a human being really deserves? Is she seen as that "real human being" who has got all the rights like choosing her own life, dressing in the way she wants to, choosing a man as per her own whims and fancies or atleast as the one possessing the fundamental right of speech?
You would have never seen a woman doing all the above mentioned things in a Tamil movie! example: Sivakasi, Thiruppachi, Thiruppathi, Thambi and other loads and loads of Tamil movies that have been made only in a man's view point. Pathetically, all these movies completely lack in a woman's point of view. All these male directors have never portrayed women as someone of their own mind! Women in Tamil movies have always been shown as wives, mothers or sisters whose lives revolve around men but not as individuals with the dignity of choosing their own lives. Women on screen have never enjoyed the privilege of living an independent life! It is as though their lives would never be complete without men...

A movie is a commercial product. rape scene, rain songs is what that sells. No one makes a deliberate attempt to "portray" women or anything, one way or the other.
o really?? what kind of a perspective can this be??? no one makes a deliberate attempt!! are u serious?? i am sure even a high school kid in india would agree with the fact that indian cinema is so sickeningly derogatory when it comes to women. and u think its JUST another commercial product!!! so just because things sell..does that makes the product right?? for heaven's sake when are u guys going to understand....really!!!but then as long people like u think that rape scenes and rain songs are okay..i am sure there will be brainless morons who will make such crappy movies...
