Padmaavat
Padmaavat, Uninterrupted
Amidst several protests and controversies, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’ became 2018’s biggest film. It started in January, with a Rajput group attacking Mr Bhansali and vandalising the sets in Maharashtra to threats against the film’s star Deepika Padukone. ‘Padmaavat,’ earlier titled ‘Padmavati,’ was eventually refused clearance by the Censor Board, got postponed and later released this year on January 25th. The film also starring Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, crossed the 250 crore mark at the box office and continues to be super strong. If you still haven’t watched ‘Padmaavat’ you can now enjoy it at very cheap prizes offered by bookmyshow.
- PadMan
We Have PadMan
If there was one single showbiz event that stood out in 2018, it was the release of ‘PadMan,’ the menstrual hygiene awareness reminder of director R Balki with Akshay Kumar as the super hero. The film was based on entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham, who invented low-cost sanitary pad making machine and created menstrual hygiene in his village. ‘PadMan’ produced by Twinkle Khanna became something of a national obsession about period. The film also starred Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor in pivotal roles and was also presented at Oxford Union. The film released on February 9 and it did start a conversation about period at homes. Beat that.
