Padman Movie Review: Gives social message without being preachy

First of all, kudos to Akshay Kumar and the director Balki for taking up a taboo topic (after TOILET: EK PREM KATHA) and making a commercial film out of it. Bollywood is known to churn out mediocre stuff but this one is definitely worth a watch. The movie tries to give a socail message, without being too preachy, and by adding a bit of humour. The movie should do decent business at the box-office with positive word-of-mouth.

Not many men are aware that thousands of women in villages contact deadly diseases during menstruation as they are unable to afford pads (sanitary napkins), and are also unaware of the benefits of using one. Some scenes in the movie could make you a bit uncomfortable, but you should watch this one for every woman in your life.

Ratings:3/5 Review By:Sweta Site:Hindustan Times
A young girl teases her brother when he wants to romance his wife, but runs away horrified when she sees a sanitary napkin in his hands. A loving but naive wife is scandalised as her husband “obsessed with women’s problems”. It is moments like these that make Akshay Kumar’s PadMan elevating, without being didactic. R Balki’s much-hyped film is based on the real life story of Arunachalam Muruganantham. Despite being peppered with melodrama and some unnecessarily stretched scenes, the entertaining PadMan delivers a robust message — the importance of women’s menstrual health.

Ratings:2/5 Review By:Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express
This is also the film which has to focus on the big male star for obvious reasons. We are left with the man of the movie, and the reason why this film has been made. Akshay gets fully into the role while trying to get in touch with the ‘feminine’ inside of him, with some nice strokes: he is the film, in a sense, and he is both earnest and likeable enough, even if we wish his women looked his age. And, even more crucially, that PadMan paid as much attention to its medium as its message.

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By:Renuka Site:Times Of India
Padman often seems like a Public Service Advertisement parading as a commercial film. In order to appeal to the lowest common denominator, things are over-explained and all of this results in a sluggish progression of events. However, given how awkward women are made to feel even today while buying sanitary pads from a medical store, this social drama makes for an important film that needs to be watched.Known for making films that work towards bridging the age and gender gap, Balki’s Padman is an empowering film that gives you the wings, despite the odds. It will free women of their inhibitions and that will be its biggest success. Period!

    Padman is a social message documentary movie,’I support this topic & government should make very cheap or absolutely free pad vending machines for women in public toilets ,but this topic should not be made so loudly publicized this is a private topic let it be private, now periods is very beneficial and is like a boon for woman, periods are painful,stressed,mood swinging ,tensed,nervous breakdown but only for that 3-5 days & with that her body gets washed out and all the grief ,despair,anxiety ,sadness,tension gets also washed out in that 3-5 days that 3-5 day period of periods is painful but after that woman feels very happy ,light & refreshing just like a fine pleasant sunny morning after a painful dark thats why woman is less tense & stressed than man & man has no system like that thats why man feels sad,anxious,tense,despaired for the whole month ,and thats why woman”s co-ordination or synchronization is with her body thats why woman needs so many dresses & makeup as she knows that her body suffers for 3-5 days so she tries to decorate her body just as a soothing,relaxing ointment to the body as she knew her body is gonna dirty for 3-5 days so is trying to infact console herself & that is why woman suffers in that 3-5 days but after 3-5 days woman becomes very strong mentally & emotionally but as man doesn”t have this system man”s co-ordination or alignment is with his heart and thats why man gets tensed,stressed,depressed, feels emotional breakdown & in some case man gets mentally more disturbed & becomes psycho but in woman its very less compared as woman suffers for 5 days and happy for 25 days whereas man suffers for full 30 days so full credit goes to periods
