Thappad (2020), directed by Anubhav Sinha, is a powerful social drama that explores the deep-rooted patriarchy in Indian society through the story of Amrita, a devoted housewife whose life takes a drastic turn after her husband slaps her once at a party. What seems like a "minor" incident to others becomes a turning point for Amrita, leading her to question the foundations of her marriage and self-worth. As she navigates societal expectations and emotional turmoil, she decides to file for divorce—not because of a single slap, but because of everything it symbolizes. The film sensitively portrays the importance of respect, dignity, and personal boundaries in relationships.
