Waniya S The fact that this is based off of a true story is sad but also kinda makes me happy that the husband took a stand for his wife and actually built her a toilet!

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I was very reluctant from watching this film. Nowadays most of Akshay Kumar's films look like they are just going on with the trends. Baby came only when people suddenly started respecting the army, Pad Man came only when the female hygiene became a topic, Gold came just a year before the Tokyo Olympics had to commence and now Ram Setu is coming after jingoism is on a rise. Similarly Toilet: A Love Story came just after the Clean India campaign came in full swing. That's why I was expecting an entire film on a toilet seat. But it turned out to be very different. It begins as a regular Bollywood love story - a rustic man falls in love with an educated woman, he stalks her to submission even though his family doesn't want him to get married to her due to conservative reasons. Everything goes well till that part, until his now wife realises there's no toilet in the house. From there onwards the hero goes out getting a toilet for his wife, even though the conservative society hates the idea. There are a number of ignorant things that the conservative people say throughout the film. First of all, toilet was invented in India. It's very ironic that today India has a lack of toilets. But this thing was never spoken anywhere throughout the film. Then Sudhir Pandey keeps saying that we shouldn't plant a toilet in the garden where we plant a holy basil. So where exactly are you going to defecate? The bushes, where there would be dozens of plants more significant than basil, or the fields where we plant the crops which are eaten by the people all over the world? But this thing is also never spoken throughout the film. I don't have any other problem with this. The acting, story, motive are all good. It's good enough to convince anyone without a toilet to make one, not that it matters anymore since now every Indian household has a toilet. I call films like this a "time-capsule" film, since these are the films that our future generations can look back on and know how our mentality used to be back in the day. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member It's based on a true story and highlights a really surprising (to me as a westerner) cultural resistance to change (installation of toilets). I assumed Indians would take up this change without question, and this movie explains why that is not the case. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review avant s not as good as i expected it to be but still good. however, why does all bollywood movies have this need to be so long and propagated?
