Padman (2018)

This is a #trueStory of a simple man named Laxmikant (played by Akshay Kumar) who comes from a small village in MP . He has only one #trueLove that is his wife (played by Radhika Apte). He is worrisome about his wife's unhygenic methods of using dirty cloth during periods. This motivates his to manufacture low priced but high quality sanitary pads which he demonstrate and uses it on himself. This is really #inspiring and #thoughtProvoking because its #againstTheSystem since we live in a country where a woman is always kept behind the veil and topics like menstruation are never discusses even among the women. The director R. Balki has the history of making such #offbeat movies and so he is successful in enlightening the audience once again.

A movie distant from reality, although based on reality. It could have been a better direction but it still worked for a lot of audience. The plot was different and thought provoking and something that should be talked about in the Indian society. The attempt for a movie of an issue like this is necessary but it could have been pictured to be a little less non nonsensical. It was an entertaining movie for sure but just the kind of intellectual masala movies which work in bollywood. If you are going to watch this only for entertainment purposely and not too seriously, you can go for it. For those looking for more sense in movies and less drama, this will not be their cup of tea.
