Bollywood, where is our Nora Ephron? by Mohar Basu

The author argues that Bollywood lacks romantic comedies that center on the "female gaze," where a woman’s internal emotions and everyday life drive the narrative rather than serving as a backdrop for a male protagonist's journey. Drawing inspiration from the work of Nora Ephron, the piece calls for the industry to move beyond social-issue-heavy films to embrace stories where women can be complex, messy, and flawed in their own unique romantic experiences.
