‘Pad Man’ Talks Resolutely About What Lies Between A Woman’s Legs

Why should you go watch ‘Pad Man’ when you’ve already guessed the plotline?

What do you find between a woman's legs?

I'd say, in our country, denial.

There are around 1 billion people milling about who'd rather talk about the weather, vile politicians and their neighbours’ whereabouts than what's single-handedly weakening every last man of the 1 point something billion – the plight of our women.

R Balki’s ‘Pad Man’ will make you want to square your shoulders, draw yourself up to your fullest height and mull over the whispered taboos, the very mention of which, lead most men and women to squeal in shock and most shopkeepers to sell a packet of sanitary napkins, wrapped righteously in a piece of newspaper or a black plastic bag...almost as if they were selling charas or ganja at a sombre Parliamentary session.
