Thappad’s message resounds loudly even after the credits roll.
BOLLYWOOD MOVIES IN THEATERS NOW PLAYING MOVIE
Although the movie is filled with solid performances, it’s the small moments between characters that stay with you: A domestic worker wondering that even her employer can face domestic abuse Amrita’s parents’ discussion on the ambitions that Amrita’s mother had to give up the quiet dignity with which family friend Shivani Fonseca (Dia Mirza) says that she won’t lie, especially in front of her teenage daughter. Stunned, Amrita starts to reassess her life, as family and friends counsel her with differing advice. When Amrita tries to intervene, Vikram slaps her in front of everyone. During a party at their house meant to celebrate his success, Vikram finds out that he’s been passed over for the promotion, and gets into an argument. Amrita Sabharwal (Taapsee Pannu) is happily married to Vikram Sabharwal (Pavail Gulati), an executive who is angling for a promotion at his firm. You can’t help but connect with his conundrum, stuck between his parents and his lover.Ĭan a husband slapping his wife once be grounds for a divorce? While exploring this question, Thappad manages to look at the many ways in which women negotiate their roles as wives, mothers or friends.

In Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, the issue at the heart of the rom-com is a gay couple trying to get the acceptance of their family. Kewalya had written Shubh Mangal Saavdhaan (2017), which also starred Khurrana opposite Bhumi Pednekar, and looked at the constructs of masculinity and female sexuality while delivering the laughs expected of a rom-com.
