Amazon Prime Video announces digital premiere of Taapsee Pannu starrer social-drama film Thappad
Desk Correspondent, abptakmaa, Kolkata, 28th Apr 2020 : Amazon Prime Video today announced the digital premiere of the recent high-impact social drama title – Thappad. Directed and Produced by Anubhav Sinha, the film has been critically appreciated for breaking norms and stereotypes with its gripping storyline and the performances of the stellar cast. Starting May 1, Prime members in more that 200 countries and territories can watch this Taapsee Pannu starrer shortly after its theatrical release.
“I was very sure I wanted to be a part of this movie,” shares Taapsee Pannu, “it is an honour to have worked with Anubhav sir on this project where he approached a sensitive topic in the most impactful way possible. I have been a rebel by nature since childhood, and, that reflects in my choice of films. The last 6 months have been very interesting for me. From doing Stand-Up Comedy on Amazon Original Series – One Mic Stand, to this incredibly nuanced role in Thappad, I have had the opportunity to really expand my range of work! I am thrilled that viewers can now watch Thappad on Amazon Prime Video.”
Synopsis:
Thappad is a story of Amrita whose seemingly perfect life is shattered when her husband slaps her at a party. But is one slap enough to question what a relationship stands for? The film is a silent slap on our society’s age-old belief that — ‘shaadi mein sab kuch chalta hain’. The film re-evaluates and questions this norm.
