Namrata Joshi The Hindu The story of one woman becomes that of every woman, every man and the everyday male entitlement. Mar 10, 2020 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Thappad resonates, as it is meant to. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 29, 2020 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion Irrespective of your gender or your economic status, you will see something of yourself in Thappad. Feb 29, 2020 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com Pavail Gulati makes an impressive debut in his efforts to humanise a terribly callous character. Rated: 4/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost Sinha’s last three films - Mulk, Article 15 and Thappad - arriving like clockwork once a year since 2018 respectively - have tackled difficult subjects that are extremely relevant to the times we live in.

India's 1 C Wow... Never have I seen a film deal with such a sensitive issue this realistically. Thappad hits every beat perfectly, to the point where it is almost unsettling how spot-on it is (I can confirm from real events that this is exactly how it happened with people I know). The acting, the direction, the writing - all done to perfection and is guaranteed to bring a tear to one's eye. Finally, it deals with the topic in a more nuanced, more subtle and ultimately more engaging manner than some of Anubhav Sinha's other films, like Mulk. It is eye-opening, heartbreaking and ultimately - a deeply moving masterpiece. Final Rating: 85/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/22 Full Review Kimberly C As a victim of domestic abuse this Oviedo is very triggering due to its accuracy. Personally this is more than a movie for me. The only thing on would've changed is the ending. In reality all those ppl around you who'd held on to certain believes won't suddenly change just after one speech. Sadly most don't get the point. It is more triggering reading some ppls reviews cs the whole thing have gone completely over their head, just like real life. I wish the movie had the guts to show that reality too. Overall hats off Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/22 Full Review Audience Member Inspiring. I wish if we can actually make bold decisions in reality. It's rare! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie treated the sensitive topic at its core with finesse. It highlighted the ugly side of patriarchy and divorce without making it vulgar. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Various and valid questions raised by the film maker impacting lives of women from diverse background, social status, age and so on. it talks about importance of one's self awareness and the dismissal one faces by the society suffering from deep rooted social conditioning. everyone performed really well. although Tapsee's dialogue delivery and acting method was similar to other movies I have seen of her. I saw more of Tapsee in Amrita then seeing Amrita as a person of her own. This fine work is not for masses but for progressive thinkers of the society. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Cinematic brilliance. Another masterpiece from Anubhav Sinha. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
