摘要

本文考察了两部以女性为中心的印度流行电影《English Vinglish》(2012)和《Queen》(2014)中出国旅行的意义及其局限性。这两部电影的相似之处在于，女主人公的旅行是情节的中心，当女主人公离开她在印度的中产阶级印度教家庭，在西方经历新的环境和友谊时，她意识到并重新协商了自己的位置和身份。尽管经历了这些冒险，女主人公仍然专注于获得自尊和对国家的忠诚。因此，两部以女性为中心的流行印地语电影的范围仍然有限，假设印度父权制度的转变，而不是挑战框架。

Her trip abroad: Middle-class travels and feminism in women-centric popular Hindi movies

ABSTRACT This article examines the significance of the trip abroad and its limits in two women-centric popular Hindi movies, English Vinglish (2012) and Queen (2014). The two movies are similar in that the female protagonist’s trip is central to the plot, and as the female character leaves her middle-class Hindu family in India and experiences new environments and friendships in the West, she realizes and renegotiates both her own location and identity. In spite of these ventures, the female protagonist remains focused on gaining self-respect and loyal to the nation. As a result, the two women-centric popular Hindi movies remain limited in scope, assuming a shift in the Indian patriarchal system rather than challenging the framework.
