There
was
a
time
when
filmmaking
was
considered
to
be
a
job
meant
for
men
alone.
With
the

of
time,
such
wrong
notions
did
clear
away
and
now
we
can
see
women
power
conquering
Mollywood
industry.

us
take
a
look
at
some

the

of
Mollywood.

which
did
fetch
many
laurels
at
various
festival
circuits.
She
proved
that
even
a
woman
can
helm
a
big
project
by
making
Bangalore

easily
is
one
of
the
best
films
in
recent
times.
