Mumbai: 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.”
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. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, the film stars a talented cast including Taapsee Pannu, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Pavail Gulati, Manav Kaul, Ram Kapoor, among others.
Thappad will join the thousands of TV shows and movies from Hollywood and Bollywood in the Prime Video catalogue, including Indian produced Amazon Original series such as The Family Man, Mirzapur, Inside Edge and Made In Heaven, and award-winning and critically acclaimed global Amazon Original series including Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Boys, Hunters, Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, all on Prime Video, which is available at no extra cost for Amazon Prime members. The service includes titles available in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Bengali.
