Thappad

Shows beautifully that women themselves can get empowered and get respect when they value themselves. It is a little slow otherwise would deserve higher ratings

This film deserves an 8 but I am generous with 10. Thrice my reviews which got more than 100 likes got deleted. Must have offended the parents who consider daughters as somebody else's property and sons as true heirs.

The film is well acted n directed. It is for the first time that an Indian movie has dealt with a subject about patriarchal mindset which has this chalta hai ( it's ok for females to be subjugated) attitude.

According to the national crime report, most murders happen between couples who r not able to divorce cos of the medieval mindset that marriages needs to be preserved until death, no matter even if it's an abused one.

Seeing so many people downrating it here just proves how deeply rooted patriarchy is in our society.. This movie is a must watch for everyone who wants to see something meaningful and not just a mindless entertainer.

I just watched 'Thappad' on the date of it's release and must say, I was blown away. The acting, the direction, the subtlety with which this eventually hard hitting film has been made is mindblowing. I cannot say enough good things about Taapsee Pannu. She is a sensational actress. The way she portrays happiness and melancholy is a sight to behold. As a viewer, I felt happy when Amrita was happy and I felt her sadness when she was struggling. In the end, the film gave a very important message too. without the stereotypical Bollywood-ish happy ending. As a male in a theater which was incidentally dominated by females, I was privileged to watch the movie which at first glance might seem to be geared primarily towards females but is actually geared towards our society in general.

Rating SPEAKS louder than movie itself!!! Any man who felt uncomfortable watching this masterpiece will end up giving 1 star!!! Please grow up!!!!

This movie is thappad on our patriarchal society!!
