Thappad

Thematically this movie is very relatable n prevalent , so it would touch "human" soul for sure. It is more of an experience re experienced on screen....all the actors did Justice to their respective roles.

The movie could have been a bit faster.All the characters portrayed were extraordinarily good including the MIL which usually doesn't happen in reality when her son does wrong to her DIL. No overdramatic scenes were thrusted upon. Overall a very good movie which makes us recap n rethink about the role a woman plays in her own house,, in the society , sacrificing her SELF silently though being the BACKBONE of the family.

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.

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.

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

Once in a while, a director decides to create a movie which breaks social norms. We have no right to abuse someone mentally or physically, even if it is just a single episode and it's better to part ways. First of all thanks to Anubhav sinha for creating such a flawless movie. The movie is well written and well directed. Every dialogues are meaningful. The beautiful part of the story is, there are too many stories weaved perfectly into a frame,which could have gone easily wrong. Each sub stories are beautiful in their own ways. Such brilliance is rare. Coming to performances, Taapsee excelled again. It's nothing new for her. She is such a brilliant performer. Pavail gulati was perfect in his own ways. Kumud mishra, a father with a lion heart; Ratna Pathak, a mother worried about society; A regular brother ; A socially suppressed mother in law; A lawyer fighting injustice from within her family; Dia Mirza ,a single mother with a will of her own; Geetika Vidya , a maid who just wanted to be a house wife; Manav Kaul, a bully. All these characters were flawed, yet so beautiful and perfectly portrayed. This movie is about performance and a strong story with a great message.
