Thappad isn’t a film about a wife teaching her husband not to take her for granted. It’s about a woman rediscovering her sense of self, contemplating what is fair and what isn’t.
Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha's Thappad is a rousing soul search, raising the question again and again, till it forces an answer.
If one were to rewind a bit, we have had Dostana, which introduced the idea of two brawny men as a pretend gay couple and the hilarity it would induce.
Thanks to Vicky Kaushal and the screenplay, Bhoot serves the basic demands but it never rises beyond the obvious.
The gay characters are self-respecting men dead against the idea of marrying a woman out of convenience. Parental denial is also addressed head-on, and frowned upon using clap-trap dialogues.
