Movie Review: 5/5 A big applause to the makers of the film. I couldn't have been more grateful for watching the movie. All the actord have done a great job. It's good to see the subtle yet powerful court drama. Thank You Anubhav Sir for making us realize that not all divorce battles or court drama are suppose to be brutal and dirty. I urge everyone who is reading this review to kindly make an effort and watch the movie. It is definitely worth watching rather I would prefer watching it again. One slap is also not okay. You cannot justify violence by stating 'it's expression of love'. You are frustrated, irritated, agitated or any other negative emotions you are dealing with you have no right to abuse your partner or anyone for that matter. If we are angry with our parents or are having differences with them we never abuse them. So exactly on what grounds do people have the right to abuse their partners? Thappad focuses on the aspect of domestic violence but what is more commendable is the way the topic is dealt in. It shows the lives of 4 different women who are related to each other and their relationships with their spouses. I do not want to give a way the spoilers, so I am literally trying hard to not reveal the story. This movie does struck you hard especially if you have been through certain things.Honestly, there is so much inside me right now but I hope I was able to express enough about the movie. I hope after watching this movie, people who have been in a toxic relationships stand up for themselves and their respect.

Movie Review: 4/5 Well firstly a big Thank You to Imtiaz Ali for introducing characters which are completely relatable and not idealistic. Relationships are never perfect and if there are then something is definitely wrong. The movie has Raghu, Zoe, Veer and Leena as their main characters. None of these characters are perfect. Yet again Imtiaz Ali has managed to impress us and reach to us. Zoe who is always confused and constantly tries to seek a balance between personal life and professional which I think is completely relatable in today's time. The constant dilemma you face everyday in a relationship. Raghu seems to be this perfect romantic guy who every girl wishes for but gradually you realise that perfection itself is a flawed idea. Veer in one word would be Kabir or Rumi. There is a lot to talk about Veer and other character but I think words will fall short. You'll just keep on exploring them. Leena's character is more of support system and a way which guides you. These characters are meant to be felt and can't be explained. Love Aaj Kal is a treat to watch. The movie is completely unpredictable and very much realistic. Every character is multi layered and that's the beauty of it. Imtiaz Ali does not justify its characters and they are unapologetic. Sara, Kartik, Randeep and Arushi have done superb job❤❤. I do not wanted to give out spoilers hence tried maintaining it. This movie deals with new age love, confusing nature,idealistic identity, and dismantles the idea of perfection, right and wrong. I have always been a Imtiaz Ali fan and he has just proved me right.
