Featuring a lead actress in a movie or show is the simple and in some cases only answer to ‘Why should boys have all the fun’. Over the years we’ve seen countless women-centric offerings that feature leading ladies pack a punch to leave us cinephiles in admiration of their stellar acting skills. They also showcase that there are no barriers for women, they can do what they want and be themselves. Movies with heroines who are performing the lead roles build up confidence and are a strong re-enforcer for all the viewers (especially the ladies) to thrive for being themselves. So here are 5 movies that are all about actresses stealing the limelight and being their own ‘heroes’.
