@taapsee @anubhavsinha / would be playing routinely in your house hold!
Anubhav Sinha and co-writer Mrunmayee Waikul pluck scenes from the society’s day today life and build characters and narratives around domestic violence in different strata of society - the underlying theme being common. 2/n

@taapsee @anubhavsinha That it exists and is usually wished away as normal male behaviour. Director Anubhav Sinha after “Mulk” and “Section 15” it seems is on a roll. He has now shown penchant for picking up uncomfortable but habitual subjects that take place in society. 3/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha Same is the case with this film as well.
In this film though, more than the director, it is the writing that stands apart. Almost every dialogue turns out to be a slap on patriarchy not just as followed by men but also as encouraged by mothers of boys. 4/n

@taapsee @anubhavsinha Taapsee continues her fine form and in a role almost written with her in mind, displays the layering of the character as it morphs slowly from being a servile wife to a woman who has been wronged. She does this with her body language, emotions, dialogue delivery 5/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha & make up. The film has an ensemble cast of supporting actors like Tanvi Azmi, Ratna Shah, Kumud Mishra, Ram Kapoor... who all resemble characters we see in daily lives and keep us engaged and invested in them. 6/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha The film ends on a very positive note with the parallel stories finding their “right” endings which to me looked a bit contrived. And Taapsee’s character continuing to strive to be a great bahu even after been dragged to the court on malicious charges seemed artificial. 7/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha But then, I am just nit picking. “Thappad” is almost a flawless film which delivers a very hard and direct message. Not just for men but for society as a whole. 8/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha After “No means No” from the film Pink, “Just a slap, but nahi maar sakta” from this film Thappad could be Bollywood’s next contribution for social upheaval! It may not be just a mere coincidence that Taapsee is part of both. 9/n
@taapsee @anubhavsinha A must watch film for sons, daughters, mothers and fathers! Don’t miss. n/n
