Films often ignore women from main narrative: Rasika Dugal

Rasika Dugal feels that web space is path breaking when it comes to female characters.

Rasika Dugal says unlike films, web space is “path breaking” when it comes to women’s representation. Rasika is not new to the web world having done a cameo in the popular web TVF series Permanent Roommates and playing lead in Humorously Yours. The actor can be currently seen in Amazon Prime Video’s original series Mirzapur.

“In the digital space, writers and directors get time to build and establish a character. And in a two or three hour film, if one is playing supporting role, then there are 3-4 scenes. There is room and time for multiple tracks to flesh out in the web space. I enjoy this format. Usually, women often get ignored from main narrative, especially in films. In ‘Mirzapur’, the tracks of all the women are interesting,” she told PTI in an interview.

The actor, however, pointed out that it would have been good to see the female characters get more screen time in Mirzapur. “I wish... It would have been nicer to see them have more screen time. Maybe season two,” she said of the series, which has been renewed for a follow-up by Amazon.
