A living being enters this world in a tabula rasa state (i.e., a clear mind without any information). It is the society that fills human nature with information, which later turns into behaviour, pattern, personality, habit, values, culture. This concept portrays in Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. This theory explains how the environment is affecting a person's development, which is of five levels. Can the environment show discrimination in the process of information filling? This question is answered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation survey, which showed India as the most unsafe place for women. How India has surpassed all other countries in this genre is shown in Bollywood films. Matrubhoomi, Padmaavat, Bandit Queen, Begum Jaan, and the like have depicted various forms of violence and injustice committed against women. We cannot ignore the fact that many films listed above are real history. This chapter critically reflects women's state in Bollywood films by using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory.
