Hunterwali Nadia emerged as a feminist icon of Hindi cinema, portrayed as the one who would break the glass ceiling and overturn the patriarchal order.[11] Despite her accented Hindi, Nadia achieved great stardom in the wake of the film,[2] becoming the highest-paid actress in the Indian film industry for the next two decades.[12]
Nadia's success and popularity were furthered by similar performances
in films of the same genre – also huge hits – in the next few years.[5][8][10] Hunterwali's adulation was exploited to promote various
products with the name "Hunterwali" prefixed to the brand name, such as
whips, belts, playing cards, chappals, bags, bangles, match boxes, shoes, shirts, etc.[17][14]
Wadia later regretted that he did not patent the word "Hunterwali",
which could have brought him a fortune in royalties. The suffix of the
word, wali, also became a fad with film producers who named many stunt films using it, like Cyclewali, Chabukwali and Motorwali.[5] Wadia himself capitalised on the Hunterwali icon by releasing a sequel, Hunterwali Ki Beti ("daughter of Hunterwali"), with Nadia in 1943. Like Hunterwali, the sequel became a blockbuster.[18]
A 62-minute retrospective documentary titled Fearless: the Hunterwali Story was made by Nadia's grandnephew Riyad Vinci Wadia in 1993 on the actress' life.[5] In April 2013, during the centenary festival of Indian cinema in Delhi, the film along with the silent classic, Diler Jiger (1931, Gallant Hearts), was shown in the "tent cinema" erected as a part of the celebrations.[19][20]Vishal Bharadwaj's Hindi movie Rangoon supposedly portrays her life and times with Kangana Ranaut playing Nadia's role.[21] ========================================================
