Meanwhile, today old films like Aisha, Koobsurat, I Hate Love Stories have been talked about as classic contemporaries that were too ahead of its time. While the film did not impress everyone, but it was a start for Chick Flicks when nostalgia of 2000s has been pouring in. We have seen Kareena Kapoor lead Veere Di Wedding in the same year with Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and more.

Over the years, the audience has come a long way but we have seen many major movies aka female led films or chick flicks like Aisha suffering at the hands of ideas like 'its not for everyone.' The irony is, even films like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Jab We Met are typical Chick Flicks - following a female lead, showcasing their needs, their side of the story.
