The festival of Navrati is celebrated for nine days which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. It is believed that Maa Durga, known for her divine shakti, was created to protect her devotees people from the demon Mahishasur. So on this auspicious week of Durga Puja, BollyCurry presents to you a list of author backed characters who symbolize Maa Durga.
Yet another character is Ketki in Mrityudand played by Madhuri Dixit Nene. Ketki is an educated woman who marries Vinay, an upper-class landlord, in a remote village in Bihar. The villain, Tripat, manipulates her husband and he starts physically and emotionally abusing her. Their marriage is on the rocks when Vinay finally comes to his senses but it is too late and he is killed. Ketki, now a widow, is disturbed by the oppression and victimization of women in her family and village and decides to teach the women to fight back. She encourages women to revolt against their oppressors and in the end it is Tripat's wife who attacks her husband, thus giving the other women strength to fight. The movie ends with the evil Tripat finally being slain at the Ganga Ghat.
Meera Gaity (Rani Mukherjee) and Sabrina Lall (Vidya Balan) in No one Killed Jessica are trying to bring justice for Sabrina's sister, Jessica, who is killed in a nightclub in front of three hundred witnesses by a politician's son. Meera, a feisty and potty-mouthed reporter, dismisses the case and the murderer is acquitted by the lower courts as the politician's son has connections. However, shocked by the verdict, Meera decides to reopen the case. She wants to show Sabrina on her channel but the latter refuses to answer her calls. It turns out that Sabrina is dejected as her mother passed away due to the shock that the accused went scot-free and her father is hospitalized. Finally a candle march is held in Jessica's memory and Meera and Sabrina successfully put the killer behind bars.
Vidya Balan played the role of Vidya Bagchi in Kahaani, a pregnant software engineer who comes to Kolkata from London during Durga Pooja to search for her missing husband. She meets with dead ends and her investigations reveal that her husband resembled a man called Milan Damji who is a rouge IB agent responsible for a poison gas attack in a Kolkata metro rail compartment killing many. Vidya continues her search overcoming many hurdles and when she finally is face to face with a gun wielding Milan in order to exchange a sensitive file, she disarms him using her prosthetic belly and shoots him indicating everything about her was a tale, a kahaani. In reality, she is an undercover police agent who is the widow of an IB officer killed in the gas attack.
Each lady in every movie had a different story to narrate but
they all carried the same moral - the good will always win at the end
of each dharamyudh. They were perfect examples of Maa Durga and we do
appreciate the actors for being daring enough to portray characters that
resemble a goddess as strong and intrepid as Durga. Here's
wishing all the readers a very happy Navratri/Durga Puja from this
BollyCurry writer and others. May the Goddess Durga always bless you
with good fortune, joy and prosperity.
