This chapter investigates the depiction of motherhood and reproductive agency, highlighting that Bollywood’s portrayal of pregnancy, abortion, and childlessness in married women often links womanhood to motherhood. However, regional films like Sara’s (2021) and Ammu (2022) challenge these norms by showcasing married women who assert control over their reproductive choices, rejecting the idea that motherhood is their inevitable role. These films promote a reconfiguration of maternity as a deliberate choice rather than an inherent duty. Although societal acknowledgment as a mother often hinges on a woman’s marital status as the institution of motherhood remains closely tied to heteronormative marriage in the Indian subcontinent, these movies separate pregnancy from its traditional role as a marker of womanhood and marital fulfilment. Routray emphasizes that this deviation from established norms promotes a re-evaluation of how motherhood, marital status, and personal identity intersect.
