Padman is based on the Short story “The Sanitary Man of Sacred Land” from the novel The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad
by Twinkle Khanna. The film became a major critical and commercial success . Akshay, yet again impressed the audience with his charming personality. PadMan, which features an extraordinary true-life story, is both a strong film and one that needs to be watched. The movie is based on the extraordinary life of innovator Arunachalam Muruganantham. This is a very inspiring film. The actor is exceptional in the film, calm and keen-eyed when at work, and it takes balance and restraint to play a character so singular . The story revolves around Laxmi (Kumar) who is deeply in love with his wife. He sees his wife using bad cloth during her periods and tells her to use pads,she tells him not to interfere. Laxmi makes it his mission to Produce low cost sanitary pads. He faces many obstacles during his course to make low cost sanitary pads. He then meets Pari Walia (Sonam Kapoor), a modern, educated woman from the city, and supplies a pad to her. Pari is impressed with him and invites him to an innovation fair in Delhi. Laxmi’s invention is recognized as the “Life-Changing Innovation of the Year”. This begins their journey to producing low cost pads to rural women. This is a real life,inspiring story which is nothing short of a blockbuster. The film ends with a grand speech delivered to the United Nations in a peculiar pidgin English, something Lakshmi winningly calls Linglish. Loved this movie, the story and all the characters. This is a thought provoking movie which highlights the social stigma on periods and sanitary napkins. This movie is brilliantly written and portrayed. Definitely a must watch.
