Padman [Sub: Eng]
Tamil Nadu Arunachalam is a handsome man who has decided to provide sanitary pads to poor women in rural areas where women used cloth or foliage. He did not succeed in his mission, where many opposed him, especially his family, and decided to try it himself by removing the uterus from the bladder and filling the blood of goats in it. The man was walking around with the bladder and his goal was to check the rate of absorption of the sanitary napkins he provided.

Kumar is such an amiable lead, and the feminist credentials of his real-life counterpart so rock-solid, that the movie rises above its limitations.

It's easy to dismiss Pad Man for the same reasons as Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Both are glorified PSAs with a superstar making a profit out of playing the savior of womanhood...

For all its flaws, Padman, much like its protagonist, puts in a sincere effort. It takes a subject that most Indians are reluctant to talk about and puts it on the marquee, and that alone is worth the applause.

Proves quite the entertaining, daresay absorbing, movie.

It's a film that cares about women and their bodies and seeks to normalize conversations that are unnecessarily stigmatized. And in 2018, that's exactly the type of movie we all need to watch.

It's an engrossing and important subject - which was raised by a man who challenged patriarchal taboos with a candour and determination that many men all over the progressive world might shrink from even now.

The film tackles the "shame" that our society insists on imposing on periods, head on.

The first step for his audience is to acknowledge and shed inhibitions...That itself makes it a worthy cause to watch it, purely for the social message.
