Here’s What Twitter Thinks About Taapsee’s ‘Thappad’

The film released on 28 February.

Thappad starring Taapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati released today and Twitter cannot stop raving about how the film deals with one slap, and how it affects a woman. While #BoycottThappad is also doing the rounds, a majority of viewers are blown away by the acting prowess of everyone, Anubhav Sinha’s writing and the sensitivity of the film.

"Ek #THAPPAD se itna bawal?"
I had this thought when I watched trailer. I still have same thought after watching the film. But now I'm happy because that's what @anubhavsinha wanted us to think. He wanted us to feel that we've normalised this just like any other issue in society.

While some people are sharing #boycottthappad tweets, some advise to not to miss the movie.

I have so many questions.
What circumstances are "illegitimate and fanciful?" Also, standing up for herself isn't to "somehow endorse divorce culture." LOL! Matlab, inko domestic violence main bhi full entertainment chahiye? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤯😖#Thappad pic.twitter.com/7P1IxHWB5a

Last week I thought Jitendra Kumar in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan would take all the debutant awards this year.I was wrong.Pavail Gulati in #Thappad is the discovery of the year.And yes @taapsee in Thappad leaves all the contemporary actresses behind

#Thappad is a layered, difficult film to make. I was quite moved by it & its refusal to be crowd pleasing. Nobody is a villain - it is a thinking take on how even good, loving men cannot see their privilege in a patriarchal society.
