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 `our 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 28 February 2020 and the entire nation is already waiting for the film.
