Namrata Joshi The Hindu Pad Man is an example of how good causes may not always make great cinema. Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express PadMan left me conflicted because I kept struggling to find the film buried under the heavy-handed messaging, especially in the repetitive first half. Rated: 2/5 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) A well-meaning picture that tackles taboo issues. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Poulomi Das Qrius The film has the emotional heft of sandpaper. Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion It's easy to dismiss Pad Man for the same reasons as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Both are glorified PSAs with a superstar making a profit out of playing the savior of womanhood... Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com What PadMan is aiming for is admirable and a genuine concern, but it isn't always above the missteps common to most films of the meaningful genre...PadMan has its premise in place. Now if only it had some wings. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member watch full amazing movie online on https://glamcinema.com/ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Adi 1 Padman is a film which takes the risk of presenting a taboo subject and does it effortlessly. You connect with the lead character throughout the film. Akshay delivers a power packed performance. Now, I think that the one-sided love track between Sonam Kapoor and Akshay could have been avoided but besides that a truly great film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Alexandra H What a great movie! It's a Bollywood movie, complete with song & synchronized dancing, that celebrates the true story of the inventor of a cheap sanitary napkin in India. I really enjoyed it and appreciated it even more when I realized that it's an (essentially) true story. The real "Pad Man," when interviewed, relayed some how the core events of the story actually happened to him. What a movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Okay America, why did India beat us to the movie about menstruation? Why do they get the male lead who is sensitive to womens periods while everyone tries to shush him like, "We don't talk about this blood, Lakshmikant!". "Pad Man" is worth watching on concept alone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Really interesting story Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Great, great, great fell good story. It has a couple of scenes I dont think are filmed well but it is very enjoyable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
