Women-Centric Web Series That You Must Watch

According to a study by Women in Film and Television, women made up 52% of prominent characters in streaming shows in 2020–2021 but 45% in broadcast network programming. While there isn't a publicly available number, many women are starring in short web series in India. They play daring main parts in new shows, and viewers are honoring them with views.

Some of the must-watch women-centric web series are the following:

1. Bombay Begums

Pooja Bhatt, Shahana Goswami, Amruta Subhash, and Plabita Borthakur play a group of powerful women trying to establish and hold onto a position of authority in Mumbai's patriarchal culture in the movie Bombay Begums. The so-called "begums" or "queens," or females, come from various social backgrounds. Despite their personal experiences, they are all powerful and clever individuals who are frequently met with outdated cultural norms and contemporary sexism as their professional and personal lives converge.

Despite being a piece of fiction, Bombay Begums makes a significant point about the difficulties women face owing to sexism in India today, irrespective of their entitlement or level of education.
