Thappad trailer out now - Page 9

I am glad that topics like this are part of a movie now. No matter how educated our society is, these things are normalized with one statement " he is a husband, he has the right to punish you". I am staying in a state with the highest literacy rate, ironically in a recent survey conducted on domestic violence 50+ percentage on woman believes that her husband has the right to slap her if she is wrong. My parents and relatives are educated but they advise the young ladies quite often that women should forgive and let go if the husband occasionally manhandles them or humiliate them as they are men. If any of the women oppose these views they will criticize the upbringing. I can relate to each and every dialogue of this movie because like many women in our society I have been through a similar situation.

It's an interesting trailer but I'm reading comments like it's not just a slap like she said it opened her eyes to other wrong things too so he has done other wrong things to her.

Why should there be any other misdemeanors done by the husband? Can't the slap be the only wrong thing? Isn't that enough?

I hope they don't add on to the slap and say that ye bhi kiya wo bhi kiya toh divorce is justified. NO! A slap can be the only reason for her to lose her love and respect for her husband and their relationship. A slap is not just a slap

Don't know if it ever starts with a slap. I mean how does one out of nowhere starts slapping his wife one fine day. Where does that mentality comes from? Like I said before if he is just extremely angry will he do the same to his parents or his boss? They will always stop to think of the consequences of that action. But when he gets his way with his wife all the time where she ignores all his wrong doings in his mind he starts to think she will also let go of that one slap and doesn't stop himself. It might start with disrespecting her verbally, screaming at her,being irrationally angry with her, breaking stuffs at home out of anger and then lead to physically assualting her. Its a habit that doesn't develope in a day. In your mind u r made to believe u will get away with it before u actually start doing it.

I didn't think with this perspective...

So husband is a jerk in backstory who slapped once or might do doing again.

Or he is pure but slapped only in spurt once. N apologotic about it... But won't be forgiven because slap once done is done. Unforgivable.

Guy can't be pure and also lay hand. That math doesn't fit.

Plus if the girl doesn't wanna live, she won't live.

See, a girl will not make the decision instantly, she will analyse and make decisions, so if she feels she shouldn't live with him. It is her decision. See here the thappad is the eye opener to the "status of a housemaid and caretaker" she was reduced to rather than a wife. I mean you see it from the movie's premise.

There is no way this movie try to make it like, guy was a saint, bad one bad moment and than girl divorced him. That isn't practical and in a way trying to portray guy as a sympathetic character. A man doesn't become violent in one day, it takes a back story and character graph, as Sindhu said.

Will have to watch movie hope they seriously show back story.. not some lovey dovey saint guy who just one day decides to become violent...

I will prefer such movies over masala and remakes...

Loved it. The ridiculous “desi” so called values of keep taking shit from people coz you are a girl or you should not get divorce n so on

also desi values of poking nose in other people's every single personal matters but when it comes to domestic violence its "their personal matter"...

I highly believe in forgiveness and people making mistakes that can be fixed, because human beings are inherently flawed people who learn. But there are some limits you just don't cross unless you're truly a bad person. Sexual abuse, sexual manipulation, taking advantage of someone vulnerable and physical violence are the limits you just don't cross. It's not something that happens in the heat of the moment, but something that a genuinely bad person does. It's a really good trailer with a fantastic message.

Liked the trailer despite of the fact that i hate her off-screen persona.

Physical violence/Domestic violence is way too normalised in our country. It's sad,especially of you see rural side,most men are drunkard, jobless failures who do nothing but beat their woman up. You talk to your grandmother or even mother, the only thing they say is "you got to learn to tolerate it" that's how far it's been normalised.

And few men constantly whining about "what if a woman beats up a man?" In YouTube comments section Is so annoying. That's also wrong. Violence, that too physical is wrong, whether it's done on a man or a woman. Period.

I wish no one grows up seeing domestic violence on their parents. It torments one'sself to bits.

That is what is fundamentally wrong. Whether you are in love or not, that is immaterial.

Hitting someone is wrong.

No circumstances justify that.

I can't believe people are not understanding this simple concept.

i do not think anyone ever said it is justified or right to slap.

I'm saying people need to understand the difference between doing something out of habit and as a mistake you're genuinely sorry for.
