In
perhaps
a
first,
the
makers
of
Thappad
organised
a
special
screening
of
their
film
a
good
10
days
before
its
release.
The
screening
was
hosted
by
filmmaker
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
member
of
the
Central
Board
of
Film
Certification
(CBFC),
Vani
Tripathi
Tikoo,
in
Delhi.
The
Taapsee
Pannu-starrer
received
a
thunderous
response
with
some
people
calling
it
'the
most
important
film
of
this
year'.
Director
Anubhav
Sinha,
also
the
film's
co-producer,
said,
"The
first
screening
of
a
film
always
make
you
nervous
and
my
last
three
films
ended
up
having
their
first
shows
in
Delhi.
The
crowd
here
comprises
eminent
people
from
various
fields
-
journalists,
painters,
writers
and
poets
-
and
ordinary
citizens
too.
I'm
happy
Thappad
managed
to
touch
them
personally;
can't
wait
to
show
it
to
the
world."
Bhardwaj
also
shared
his
thoughts
on
the
movie
which
releases
on
February
28.
"It
received
an
overwhelming
response.
The
audience
was
sitting
after
the
show
for
over
half
an
hour
and
wanted
to
share
their
opinions," he
said.
Taapsee,
who
joined
the
guests
towards
the
end
of
the
film,
was
elated.
"It
has
been
a
thrilling
ride
to
work
on
Thappad
along
with
Anubhav
sir,
especially
after
Mulk
(2018).
We're
proud
of
what
we've
achieved
through
the
film
and
the
audience
reaction
has
been
great," she
shared,
adding,
"The
film
did
make
men
question
their
'right'
by
the
end
of
it.
Seeing
the
responses
makes
it
all
the
more
worth
it."
Bhushan
Kumar,
who
has
co-produced
the
film,
expressed
how
he
was
confident
about
the
content
and
Anubhav
Sinha's
direction.
Calling
Thappad
a
'watershed
moment' in
the
portrayal
of
women
in
Indian
cinema,
Tikoo
shared,
"So
many
inconvenient
truths,
which
never
get
spoken
about
relationships
and
marriages,
have
been
shown
so
beautifully
in
the
film."
Thappad
produced
by
Anubhav
Sinha
and
Bhushan
Kumar
starring
Taapsee
Pannu
will
release
on
February
28,
2020
and
the
entire
nation
is
already
waiting
for
the
film.
