Pad Man (2018)

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Another great movie for Akshay #seedhi saadhi Akshay... Real king of Bollywood

Real story of an Indian making Sanitary Pads at affordable price for Poor and underprivileged ladies. Its a power packed movie with a spice of emotions. Akshay Kumar is a real super star and delivers at par as always. A Must watch.

This movie is surely one of the best movie of Akshay Kumar,His journey of creating an affordable sanitary pad is truly inspiring, Superb story & dialogues, Must watch!!

In recent times, we have seen Bollywood film-makers attempting movies basedvd on taboo subjects like Toilet Ek Prem Katha (dealt with the issue of open defeication), Shubh Mangal Saavdhan ( dealt with erectile disynfunction) etc.. Now Padman, written and directed by R. Balki, deals with the issue of menstrual hygiene. Before telling more, first the plot. The film tells the story of Lakshmikanth Chauhan ( Akshay Kumar ), who after his marriage, realises to what extent his wife and all the other women are affected by their menses, and sets out to invent a low cost sanitary pad machine. As you all know, the movie is based on the real life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social activist from Tamil Nadu. But the film is made suiting to the Northern sensibilities. Even though it's a biopic, never does it get serious or preachy. The director has balanced the movie with content and entertainment. There are many scenes in the movie which will leave a lasting effect on the viewer. One being the scene before interval, when Akshay decides to test the Pad he made by himself. And the other, Akshay's speech at the United NationsThe music of the movies was good. The songs 'Aaj se teri' and the Title track was really memorable. Cinematography too was done well.Now to the performances. It requires guts for an actor to act in a film dealing with a subject on menstrual hygiene. Akshay Kumar acts his part with perfection. It's his second film recently, after TEPK, which deals with a taboo subject. Raadhika Apte too impresses. Her moments with Akshay was really good. Sonam Kapoor plays her role good even though the love angle just before the climax was not required. Amitabh Bachchan appears in a cameo. Rest of the supporting actors have done their parts well. All I all PADMAN is a film to be watched. Highly recommended.My rating- 4/5
