There were times when i used to dream of becoming a lyricists in movies. But the field was mostly controlled by males with occasional poetess like Maya Govind. Now we have two female lyricists, Kausar Munir and Rashmi Singh. I am very happy to learn that Rashmi Singh, just won the best lyricists filmfare award among noted lyricists like Gulzar. What a beautiful song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4azTSXTfpk A very proud moment for all girls. Go girls go!!!
Not only song writers, even female music directors are rare in MCP controlled film industry.. Usha Khanna was so talented and gave innumerable hits especially this song.. Dil ke tukde by Yesudas... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8VLas655WY it took supreme court to lift 6o year ban on female makeup artists and this was in 2014..

Akanksha... This post of yours is really short for a second I scrolled down to test my vision :tongue...yeah I watched the award over the w/e, men can't always be the dominating species right...was so bored of knowing or must say predictable - Best Lyrics awards were either bagged by Javed Akhtar or Gulzar....finally a new nomination and face now
rightly said. reasons may be it is highly commercial i.e needs more than the ' romance ' which a female cant or hesitates to do coz she is excellent & shines well in soft feelings. moreover for all the love theme films , men only run after gals & express his feels. hero oriented & one sided mostly hence. thanks for the thought &the link. its nice. wishes for ur dreams .
