Taapsee Pannu's latest film Thappad has a strong message behind it and audiences and critics around the country are loving the film for it. However, not everyone is a fan of the film's feminist approach to Indian relationships.
Recently filmmaker and choreographer Ahmed Khan spoke about his opinions about the film. The Baaghi 3 director has found the film quite strange. He said, "I don’t understand just because the husband slapped his wife, will she leave him forever? If she has a problem, she too should slap her husband twice in return.”
He even added a personal anecdote to support his claim. He added, “If I tell her that I don’t want to be with her anymore, then she can also tell me the same. But, will a slap decide whether a couple can stay together or not? But then, everyone has a different point of view and way of looking at it.”
Thappad is the story of Amrita who files for divorce from her husband after he slaps her at a party. Anubhav Sinha's film takes a strong stand at domestic violence and has received great praise for it.
Actress, Taapsee Paanu responded to Ahmed Khan's comments in a recent interview. The actress said that she does not feel the need to respond to such comments. She ended saying, "He makes films based on what he finds correct and it is the same for us. At the end of the day, it is the audience who gives out the final verdict.”
