Thappad: A Review ⭐⭐⭐1/2

PC: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10964430/

Thappad- Hindi movie looks like it could run in theatres farther, if lockdown wasn't imposed. It is a kind of movie where I cannot say that it is an amazing movie, but if one is looking for a movie that can leave an impact, this is a must watch. 

Story line: Tapsi Pannu in lead role, taking on her husband for a slap.

Seems a bleak one liner, isn't it? What do you think is the line of limit for a relationship? When do you know that a relationship has totally worn-out? When the word 'relationship' itself is so relative to how much two people are bonded to each other, how do you decide when it could end? 

They say bond breaks without a snapping sound. This movie is a reflection of how differently each of us with a variety of perceptions see a cross-over in a relationship. What may seem ok to one, may seem a blunder to the other. Relationship lies in relying on the delicate balance that keeps both personalities in the bond involved, yet feeling respectful of themselves.

As the movie progresses, it has tried to portray us how first-time slapping one's own wife is pursued as an okay act by many relatives. 

To a girl who has left everything that she ever loved, and who has accepted a new way of life by reconsidering and compromising so many of her priorities after marriage, it becomes a matter of reconciliation, with whatever she perceives as her line of limit. 

The takeaway for viewer here is a retrospection of the past events in their life with their loved ones, for sure. But it is an eye-opener to not get entangled in any relationship so much that we lose our identity in it. Any individual has their priorities in life before getting married, and each one of us slowly realise that we have changed so much in life after our marriage, with umpteen adjustments that gradually eat up our likes, we must just make sure that we do not let the parasitic adjustments eat up our Lives!!!

Psst! you can watch it on Amazon now.
