MUST WATCH!! The storyline of Thappad is actually an ongoing reality for most women who go through domestic abuse silently. However I am not saying only women experience domestic violence, men also are victims of domestic violence however there are higher percentage of women who do experience and report cases of domestic violence at home. As always Taapsee does not fail to showcase her acting skills as well as mentionable actress and actors played in the films also contribute to the success of this films. My favourite character was Geetika Vidya Ohlyan I did not even for a second think she was acting, she definitely portrayed the character very well. Directing is above average however I did pick on some errors as well as a little lag in storyline which could've been compensated through different shots that engage and by providing appropriate BGM, hence why only 4 stars. Overall is actually a good movie and is an important issue that even still people refuse to accept! And it's interesting that this film isn't really showing a hint of radical feminism through the main protagonist and is being acceptive and trying to protest for a change because violence is VIOLENCE and NO means NO. The people who have reviewed and has commented on the topic not the movie and given 1 rating based on the ISSUE raised in this film and those who have a narrow mind to think "one slap is okay", I guess now we know who the real monsters are, those who are stripping the rights, happiness and respect of those who experience domestic VIOLENCE anywhere, regardless of their culture, religion, gender, age> ANY SORT OF VIOLENCE IS NOT OKAY. PERIOD!
EDIT : It's so sad to see that MEN are calling this film radical feminism because the protagonist had a choice to decide how she wants to live and away from feeling like a slave and away from ABUSE! 🙄
