when i was different from the world

The protagonist in the film is an entrepreneur who invents low-cost pad-making machines, bringing health care to poor families in remote areas and providing employment opportunities for many uneducated women.

Compared with "Partners in India", the two films have different focuses. The former focuses on expressing the impact on social transformation, while the latter focuses more on expressing individuals and dreams. So the film has another name called "The Padman", which I personally think is more appropriate for the film. "Partners" will draw attention to the film's second protagonist, Paliwalia. And this emotional line is relatively weak compared to the emotional line between the film's opening and Gloria.

I think in the first half of the film, after explaining why the male protagonist wants to make sanitary napkins, the plot seems to be a little repetitive. On the contrary, the plot began to become exciting after meeting Pavallia, but the rhythm of the plot was a little faster later. In the final ending, the male protagonist still went back to find his wife, which is also in line with his original intention, so this ending is relatively reasonable.

    India's film industry leads the pad industry for 100 years. Do not give five stars is not Indian. There is a very sci-fi or even fantasy feeling.

    The whole film is full of deep contempt for female intelligence! It's not like helping your wife make sanitary napkins like crazy, you can call it feminism. The biggest problem of this film is that almost all women are portrayed as ignorant and superstitious, and the only intellectual woman represents the upper class who controls capital, and starts from scratch. The tail is also just a foil for the male protagonist. At the end of the film, the male protagonist made the choice to return to a traditional family on the surface, but in fact it was also alienation from independent women. It seems considerate to take all the responsibility for the awakening of women, but in fact it is the inexplicable arrogance of men. Without facing up to the power of women's own awakening, without allowing women to truly exert their subjectivity, this film can only be reduced to the self-talk of straight men, and it is not feminist at all! In the end, sanitary napkins were used all over India, not because women were awakened, but because the male protagonist won an award and became famous...
