Women have been leading the mantle across the Indian cinematic landscape for a while now but these performances are definitely a great sign that the year belongs to women! Here are some women who have delivered an incredible must-watch show on the screen!
Alia Bhatt in Gangubai Kathiawadi

South Indian cinema has become an intrinsic part of India’s pop culture and when talking about the best women-led performances of 2022, how can we not talk about Aditi Rao Hydari in Hey Sinamika! With all the praise and acclaim being directed at Aditi, it is safe to say that the powerhouse performer has walked away with the lion's share of the appreciation.

However, one thing they all agree upon in this Shakun Batra directorial is that Deepika's performance was outstanding!
