Hindi movies where women decided to pick up weapons

It is time for women to pick up the big guns again! Yes, Rani Mukerji has announced Mardaani 3 and newer updates keep flowing from the world of her cop sequels. While Rani Mukerji has nailed it as Mardaani, there are a lot of stories where women picked up weapons and were the very definition of fear for their enemies. Right from Vidya Balan in Kahaani to Anushka Sharma in NH10, female actors have proven that 'choriyaan choron se kum hai hi nahi.'

A few Hindi movies where women decided to pick up weapons

Kahaani 2

Kahaani was a drama featuring Vidya Balan as an abla naari who is trying to find her husband. That is till a twist at the end reveals that she was indeed not trying to find her dead husband but the man who killed her and staged an entire pregnancy to get her revenge. If that was the originall film, you can only imagine what the sequel would look like. Exactly!

NH10

Another example of a woman picking up a tool after losing her lover is shown in Anushka Sharma's NH10. Abandoned and pushed to her very limit, Meera (Anushka Sharma) decides it is time to face her fears and so, she decides to pick up weapons and get to killing the goons who killed her husband Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam).

Mom

Sridevi proved through Mom that there is no greater love than that of a mother. She sought revenge for her daughter, who was molested for refusing advances made by goons. The mother took revenge on her daughter's behalf and of course, we got a tear-jerker.

Saand Ki Aankh

Based on the UP’s sharpshooter sisters Chandro and Prakashi Tomar who hit the bullseye, Saand Ki Aankh set an example of women in power. These women set out to change the patriarchal culture in their city and did exactly that with the help of a weapon.

Mrs Undercover

Radhika Apte played an undercover agent in Mrs Undercover and when it was time, she brought out the guns. This one is worth your time too.
