In a first, the makers of Thappad organized a special screening of the movie ten days before its release. The screening was hosted by director Vishal Bhardwaj in Delhi.
The Taapsee Pannu starrer received a tremendous response for its hard-hitting storyline and the strong social message it carries. Here’s what the people who saw the movie have to say:
We know from the trailer #Thappad is about a slap, a woman’s quest for justice on the grounds of domestic violence. But @anubhavsinha’s very effective film left me very uncomfortable. What kind of a man I am and have been? 1/2

I saw #Thappad and wept through the movie. It especially delights me that this movie was made by a man @anubhavsinha and among many fine characters, my friend @taapsee as its lead shone. The film is brave and lifts the lid off silent, crushed & repressed female dreams. Do watch

Saw #Thappad n glad that @anubhavsinha addressed the issue in such a relatable manner. @taapsee shines n her silence speaks more than dialogues. U decide your limits n the film raises this pertinent point; tells u not to let ANYONE jolt ur self-respect, even if it's JUST A SLAP..

#Thappad is beautiful. Its simplicity and strong narrative make it so beautiful. It makes you angry. It makes you cry. @taapsee #kumudmishra ji were so good. But @GeetikaVidya was just AMAZING!!! Another great @anubhavsinha film
