The beauty of the movie is the subtlety. How a slap is made generic by our society is shown. If man of the house is angry and stressed one slap is justified and is not part of domestic violence. How the mother and mother in law, the brother and literally everyone is keen making Amrita believe that the slap may not be right but somehow justified since husband was stressed and everyone advices to forget and move on.
The movie has shown women from different societal fabric and how they have accepted and domesticated the act of domestic violence.
kudos to the team of "Thappad".Our society needs more movie like this one.
