Thappad– an upcoming 2020 Indian Hindi-Language drama film directed by Anubhav Sinha, who also directed movie Mulk and Article 15. The star cast of film includes Tapsee Pannu and Pavail Gulati. It will be released on 28 February 2020.

Thappad is the story of a lady who decides to divorce her husband after he slaps her. The trailer begins with Taapsee’s lawyer notifying her a few legal notices so as to resume her marital life together with her husband. To know why exactly Taapsee resides separately from her husband, the lawyer asks Taapsee if either of them is having an affair or if she’s having trouble together with her in-laws. When Taapsee explains things, the advocate looks at Taapsee with creased eyebrows, saying: “So, it’s just a slap.”  The trailer also shows that Pavail Gulati, who plays the role of Taapsee’s husband, loses his temper during an argument with office colleagues and slaps Taapsee at a party.

Taapsee stands strong amidst apologies from her husband, requests to withdraw her legal complaint and prejudiced advice from her relatives and that is what makes the trailer worth a watch.

Taapsee shared the trailer with these words: “Haan bas ek thappad… par nahi maar sakta (Yeah, it’s just a slap… but he can’t hit you)!”
