In people's impression, India has always been an extremely contradictory existence. On the one hand, technology is relatively advanced, but people's lives are obviously poor, a magical country. Under the lens, you can see that the material is poor, dirty streets, dilapidated houses, broken bicycles, cheap clothes, backward concepts, unclean eating habits.... The status of women in society Very low, in 2012, more than 80% of women in India were still unable to use sanitary products during their menstrual period.

The protagonist is married, he loves his wife very much, and does everything he can to care for her, hoping to make her happy and healthy. Although he only has a junior high school education, he loves life and is ingenious. For his wife's health, Lakshmi first went to the pharmacy to buy sanitary pads, which were very expensive. Although he bought them, his wife was reluctant to use them and insisted that he return them. Therefore, he tried various methods to find a low-cost production method of sanitary napkins. This process was long and arduous. He was regarded as a pervert and a lunatic by the whole village. His relatives did not recognize him, and his wife returned to her parents' home. He endured huge humiliation and went far away from the big city of Delhi. The hero, who was not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, finally chose to embark on an entrepreneurial journey to save his menstrual period and emancipate his mind. I met Parry, the most important beauty partner in my life, and finally invented a low-cost sanitary napkin production machine and opened a patent, which brought changes to the concept of women's menstrual hygiene in India and changed the fate of Indian women to a certain extent.

The film tells family stories and social stories, telling stories in a simple and unpretentious way close to life, without too many special effects, without too much visual input, but relatively more emotional and real to impress the audience, so that The audience sees real life, not visual special effects, which resonates with people, and can touch the deepest kindness in the audience's heart, solid practical significance, heavy social thinking, face-to-face social topics, and movies. It is full of enthusiasm to change the mood of the society, showing a sense of small stories but great significance from all aspects, focusing on the dissemination of positive energy, so that more people pay attention to the various problems currently existing in this country.

    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...
