Abstract: The present research article delves into the transformative journey of women in society, with a particular focus on their education and emancipation, as depicted through the lens of cinema. In recent years, women have evolved from traditional roles to multifaceted individuals who actively shape their destinies. This transformation encompasses their education, as they gain access to knowledge and learning, and their emancipation, as they assert their rights and seek opportunities for personal and professional growth. Furthermore, this study explores the representation of these transformations in films, examining how cinema is a potent tool for educating and empowering women. “There are various works that deal with feminism through writings and movies which bring out the nature of women in a way that every woman can relate and reflect it with their daily lives.†(Shalini & Alamelu 2018) It investigates the portrayal of women’s lives and their journey towards self-realization and sheds light on the societal dynamics and challenges they encounter. Through cinematic narratives, women’s stories gain the potential to inspire and mobilize positive change, challenge existing norms and promote gender equality. The present study employs content analysis as the methodological approach, and this study seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the representation of women in “Mission Mangal†from a feminist viewpoint, revealing fresh insights into the portrayal of women’s roles and contributions in India’s Mars Mission exploration story.
