1 year of Thappad - Page 2

Sorry for spamming but I wanna also mention Kumud Mishra and the lawyer as two kinds of feminists which the movie shows. Yes, a man can also be a feminist and Kumud Mishra's character is proof of this. The way he supports his daughter is so endearing.

The lawyer stands for the empowered modern woman of today. She was damn good as well.

Didn't like it for the way they ended maid's character

If one slap is problem, how can they show her beating her husband as a way to stop domestic violence?

If anyone's marriage was irredeemable, it was hers, she suffered for years and in the end, she had to live with her abusive husband, who would hurt her even more after it

She was the only one with conscious, Tapsee's character Didn't care about her maid's husband beating her, it was a normal thing for them but that maid returned money after listening to Tapsee's story

Loved her dance in the end

The movie is good and bad. People who connect with the characters and situations may like it, others may not. Too bad it wasn't as talked about as it deserved to.

It was very much talked about. It was the most praised movie of last year. It received a lot of critical acclaim.

As for not connecting with the characters, isn't the point of a movie all about seeing things in a new perspective?

Last year I read the review thread and discussion topic... I noticed something which I didn’t see anyone pointing out....

Why was Taapsee character made to leave dancing which she loved? Why couldn’t she start it again after her shadi? Also did anyone notice how few times she mentioned to her husband about teaching her how to drive?

It’s very subtle... but things like that are done to keep women under control and dependent.... I’ve seen in real life as well... men on purpose not teaching women how to drive “Warna bahir phirne ki adat par jaye gee”

This movie is a work of art for me. I have watched it a few times already and every time I want to clap at many subtle scenes of the movie that showed how our harmless actions go into creating this sexist society we live in. Like Vikram's comment about what does Dia do to afford these cars?

I love that there isn't really a big bad villain in this movie like an evil husband or mother-in-law. Everyone had their flaws. Even Kumud Mishra's character, who was so thoughtful, so wonderful was someone who was inconsiderate to his wife.

I also love how this movie wasn't really about domestic violence and just the thappad. It was about all the things that was brought to light because of it. Anubhav Sinha did an outstanding job there.

I watched this movie with my very traditional, conservative mom who felt sad that at the end the girl ended up alone. But to me it's such a feel good movie and the ending is absolutely perfect. I liked that Taapsee's character was brave enough to walk away from a marriage where she thought the foundation was broken. Foundation of a relationship is so important and we are never taught to pay attention to that. We are always asked to add on to it and distract ourselves. Like have a kid, you will feel better and it will fix things. Taapsee walking away was a big deal. But this beautiful movie also had a heart. I liked that it didn't make walking away so simple because life is never simple. Emotional attachments exists, love might not heal all but it makes breaking away hard. So I liked that Vikram realized that he had to let her go but he also wanted to earn her back. It gave me hope that yes our dudes are regressive in so many ways but it is never too late to learn. The movie shows different generation of men and women learning. That makes me hopeful

Also Anubhav Sinha is a treasure.
