Thappad showcases the story of a woman (played by Taapsee Pannu) who experiences domestic violence and decides to take action against it. Pavail Gulati plays Taapsee's husband in the film, which also stars Dia Mirza, Tanvi Azmi, Kumud Mishra, Ram Kapoor, Ankur Rathee, Ratna Pathak Shah and Manav Kaul. This is Taapsee's second film with Anubhav Sinha after the 2018 drama Mulk.
Thappad opened to positive reviews on Friday. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film four stars out of five and wrote: "Taapsee Pannu is pitch perfect, effortlessly articulating a mix of pain-induced confusion and necessity-fuelled clarity. She is particularly magnificent in the film's defining scene."
