What makers used to smoke that they came up with such a scene. Slapping child just because she goes to meet her real mother and burning her hand. If padmini's character was negative it would not have looked so bad but she is shown positive that's why it looks more wrong.

Wasn't child abuse law in effect at that time?

The film is from 1986. I think it was pretty common to beat up children even till early 2000s. It's a reality of its time, and I don't really think there is any point looking at it by a modern lens.

And she justifies it by saying maa ki mamta, maa ka pyaar

(PK's acting is funny)

I've heard about parents disciplining their children by burning their hands

I heard of a parent who did that to their son cz of his poor grades But they forgot they don't live in India, they live in America... So they were jailed

I too wanted to slap her after seeing her burning a child's hand.

Also she was step mother n not real mother. So no one would believe her intentions were pure.

She didn't slap her just once, she slapped hard five times, pushed her down then burnt her hand ( don't know what else would've happened if Jeetu hadn't stopped her), all in the name of pyar & mamta

Edit: it was a remake of a South movie... That explains it
