Thappad Movie Story
Amrita Sandhu and Vikram Sabharwal are happily married. Amrita is a housewife and takes care of her husband and the home. During a celebration to celebrate his promotion, Vikram finds out that his promotion is in jeopardy because of an inexperienced junior colleague who is a relative of his boss. Enraged, he gets into an argument with his boss, Rajanth. When Amrita tries to stop the argument, Vikram slaps Amrita in public. This incident shocked her and opened her eyes to all the little unfair things she had been ignoring. She understands that a husband who respects her would not hit her. Moreover, Vikram refuses to take responsibility or apologize for his actions.

Amrita is unable to “forget and move on” as everyone tells her, so she moves in with her parents and files for divorce. This comes as a shock to her family. She has not asked for maintenance, she is simply of the opinion that Vikram had no right to hit her and that she realised that the slaps were denying her any respect or pleasure.
Thappad Movie Review
Taapsee’s acting is outstanding and says a lot without saying much. I felt the full impact the slap had on her and how she felt. It wasn’t just a slap in the face, it was a wake-up call to the conditioning she has been through to accept that it’s okay. The situations and misogyny depicted are not forced, they are very natural because that’s what society has created. Men, women, mothers, fathers, brothers and everyone plays a big role.
The supporting cast was spot on. I was excited to see how their relationships change at the end of the film. Especially the lawyer who does a great job and is happy when she is free, but is undervalued and held captive by her husband during her stay. Used as property whenever he wants. It was also great to see a single mother raising her daughter and feeling happy about being single, as it is not the case for everyone to face the social pressure of having to have a spouse. The maid’s story was very painful. It really showed how people are unable to make the right choice for themselves due to their underprivileged nature.
It was good to see how the perspective of the entire society – parents, neighbors, work colleagues, lawyers and well-meaning people – is taken on such an important issue.
