With this, my movie weekend comes to an end ! Here is a quick review so that I don’t get too busy or lazy to put it up.
6. Innocence
The movie is shot in a village scene obviously where 97% people are shown to be excessively conservative and the rest 3% slightly open headed. We all know they exist but it’s very cute to watch them at their innocent best.
5. Invention
Out of the 1000 things that I am not, sci-fi fan is one of them. Not that this movie shows any of it, but the way of showing the process of Problem ➡Identification ➡ Will to change it ➡ Research ➡ Idea ➡ Try & Fail ➡Success, is brilliant and interesting enough to be liked by every kind of person watching it.
4. The ‘Hush Hush’ Subject
Yeah. Menses, Sanitary Pads, Period. The subject is dealt with a right mix of reluctance, sensitivity, open mind & details. It might actually be educational for a whole lot of people !
3. Humor
Without having any obvious funny dialogues or haha moments, the movie continues to amuse as much as it amazes.
2. Direction & Script
1. Star Cast
Radhika Apte, Sonam Kapoor & Akshay Kumar along with a strong supporting cast make the movie smooth like wine but well, it’s mostly Padman all along.
P.S. In a weird sorta metaphor where both the women are shown sitting & crying in the car seat while letting him go (at different times), is one of the little details taken care of in the film that are impressive, and well, it’s a movie to be watched & discussed with family.
