Bollywood hunks we love

Big budget films: Women are mere props in mainstream extravaganzas. In recent times, the only film in that category which defied this stereotype was ‘Chennai Express’ in which Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone shared screen time. Films without major male stars: All the major woman-centric films are characterised by the absence of the major male star. Emraan Hashmi was the biggest star in ‘The Dirty Picture’. ‘Kahaani’, ‘Mary Kom’ and ‘Queen’ do not have an established major star in a much smaller role with the heroine occupying the centre stage.
