Padman - Movie Review
Cast - Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, Sonam Kapoor
Directed By - R. Balki
Before saying anything about the movie, the makers of the Padman should be credited and appreciated for giving us this film which talks and highlights about the issue regarding the sanitary pads and educating the society about it. Directed by R. Balki, the film tells the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham of Tamil Nadu who fought against all odds in delivering the sanitary pads to all the women and how he encouraged them to use it.
The film is a biographical and a must watch for sure as it really puts forward an important message for the society. Unlike Kumar's previous film "Toilet - Ek Prem Katha", we are saved from all the creepy stalkings here and it spends no time in building the relationship between Akshay and Radhika and it just directly dives in to the main issue here as there is so much to tell, which is good. The film opens with the wedding of Kumar and Apte with Arijit's sweet song "Aaj Se Teri" playing in the background. During the whole song we are shown how much Akshay loves and cares for his wife and how he just wants to see her happy. This is the reason when his wife encounters with the "test match" which is what the periods are being referred to as in the film by some gulli boys, and sees her wife using a dirty cloth, he determines to make sanitary pad for her as she refuses to have company made pads due to there high cost. His will and determination to achieve his goal of making the perfect pad and wanting the women to use it is somewhat emotional, funny and inspiring to watch.
Akshay is dedicated, funny and delightful to watch. He has established himself as a great actor and has also delivered some movies with good content and he must be credited for it. Radhika Apte is just brilliant here, she magnificently blends into her character and one can only admire her amazing acting skills as she loves, weeps and smiles for her husband. Sonam Kapoor though appearing in the second half of the film is bold and smart. She is the one who helps Kumar in achieving his dream successfully.
The downfalls of the film include the love angle introduced between Kumar and Kapoor which is really unnecessary and does nothing major to the plot. Also at some points, it looks like a 2 minute TV commercial that is induced in a film.
Padman consists of an important plot and some nice performances. It is rare to see a film which talks about such an important issue confidently. Do not miss this superhero.
My Rating - 3/5
