PadMan starring Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, and Sonam Kapoor has hit screens today 9 February 2018. This film directed by R Balki. The film is based on the true story of Arunachalam Muruganatham, the inventor of a low-cost sanitary pad the manufacturing machine, and based on the short story penned by Akshay’s wife Twinkle Khanna (The Legen of Lakshmi Prasad). Padman delivers a good message, the importance of women’s menstrual health and opens good reviews from viewers.

Story

Concerned about his wife Gayatri's (Radhika Apte) menstrual hygiene, Lakshmikant Chauhan (Akshay Kumar) urges her to ditch the cloth and opt for sanitary napkins. Gayatri is reluctant to go for disposable pads as they are expensive. Lakshmi obsessing over a 'ladies problem' makes her cringe but he insists on bringing a change by addressing the taboo topic. Subjected to hostility for ruffling the religious and age-old beliefs of people around, can the man brave the resistance and get his point across?

Actors Performance

The 'superhero' of the film — Akshay Kumar delivering extraordinary work for this wonderful film. Radhika Apte delivers her work beautifully. Sonam plays a privileged South Delhi girl and fits perfectly into the role. She also gets to mouth some of the best comebacks directed at Akshay in the film.

Technically

PadMan is well-made; the writing is generally neat, and both the cinematography (P.C. Sreeram) and the editing (Chandan Arora) are good. Amit Trivedi's fast-paced music lends an air of purpose to the film.

Audience Response

harsh

akshay is back in his back style, I mean his worst movie style.Padman is such a worst movie of the year and I m sure it will win the award Golden Kela.
