Abstract
The study explores the representation of modern masculinity in three select Bollywood films starring Ayushmann Khurrana: Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Vicky Donor, and Dream Girl. The study examines how masculinity is portrayed in these films with a primary focus on the idea of hegemonic masculinity. The study makes use of qualitative research techniques to pinpoint important issues surrounding masculinity in these films, demonstrating a substantial movement away from conventionally hyper-masculine images towards more varied and complex representations. The male protagonists in these films are portrayed as being sensitive, frightened, and emotionally aware, which challenges traditional preconceptions.
