The word toilet and pads/sanitary pads or Stayfree(its a brand but we Indians synonymous brands with stuffs😆) are words hearing which people either cringe or tell us to lower our voice. Toilet at least can be laughed off, as some sort of humor. But pads?? well it is still taboo discussing them in public. So the main question is will Akki earn big because of this? or they will turn out to be disasters or underachievers? Toilet had the most positively received trailer since Dangal's came out last October/September. But still I find many people shocked/cringe/uncomfortable with its title. While the context is great and hype is good, if the movie as a whole is a miss there is huge chance they might fail to score at either BO or Critics. What is in its favour is its message, but what might not work will be packaged as an entertainer and might become a. preachy boring movie.
Padman is a bigger risk and audience will be absolutely embarrassed to discuss the movie at home. Although the message of this movie is also amazing but there is still a certain discomfort from certain section of people.
Personally I think it should work as Akki has bow gotten a certain multiplex base and both the movies look masssy so launde lapade will also be excited. Plus Akki is supported and liked by majority of people nowadays due to his social works toward soldiers and others. These movies just need good WOM.
So what does IF think, will it work for Akki or not?

more than the title of Toilet I cringed at the song where Akshay was stalking and video-recording an unsuspecting girl, half his age... pata nahi kaun sa message dene wala hai is movie se
baki, I think Padman ke role me Tiger Shroff zyada fit rehta (after reading his statement about paddings) 😳

The movie should start with a girl walking suspiciously in a dimly lit lane to a corner stone medical shop. She sheepishly hands out a note to the shop keeper who comes back with an item wrapped in news paper with black polythene bag the whole transaction would be shady and when some unsuspecting witness is about to call the police thinking she has a bomb on her hand he eventually find out its just sanitary lads.
Jokes aside I still don't get the whole freaking out over this. People should be scared if one is not having it. It's not only a sign of a healthy woman but it should bring out a sigh of relief to every guy with a girlfriend.

I was kinda skeptical when I heard about TEPK, but when I watched trailer, I was blown away, it looked like a good commercial BW movie that would keep us entertained, but, with a strong message. (well , so far it seems to be like that, cannot say what the entire movie will be like but it has left a positive impression on me)
I think if they can recreate the same or better with Padman, it may reap dividends.


Point is, the movie should make a connect with Indian masses, and that does not depend on the topic or story, but more so in the way the movie is put together in terms of sending out message/inspire us/entertain us, and the way it is presented to us.


PS --- Both titles, Padman(even if it's a male name) and TEPK sound lame.

The titles of both the films are definitely unusual to put it lightly
But if the content of both the films are good both will do well
Both will get tax exemption for sure as both convey very important social messages
Not sure about the budget of either film but knowing Akshay budgets will be low as well
People are liking films with social messages now and these 2 messages are quite important
So in short both the films should do well
