Patriarchal Society and her Mother tell to let it go as an isolated incident, but she knows that she can’t live with a man who is capable of doing such a thing. This shakes the core of her entire existence, and she moves in with her parents, and seeks divorce. Based in an educated, well to do setting, Amrita (Taapsee Pannu) and Vikram (Pavail Gulati) are the picture of marital bliss until he slaps her in front of his colleagues, at a house party. While older Indian cinema glorified this type of behavior, Thappad turns old tropes on the head, of how domestic violence should never be tolerated. He performs the thumping ‘Apna Time Aayega’ (My time will come) and delights the audience.Ĭast: Taapsee Pannu, Dia Mirza, Ratna Pathak Shah, Manav Kaul, Pavail Gulati One of India’s top rappers Emiway Bantai performs, and then the original ‘Gully Boy’ rapper Divine, invites Murad on stage. We follow the twists and turns of how his aims to turn his musical dreams into a reality, battling more than just words, but people, staid office jobs and social conventions that stand in his way.

Performing in a concert to impress rapper Nas becomes Murad’s goal. Key protagonist Murad Ahmed, played to perfection by Ranveer Singh, goes on an Eminem, 8 Mile-style journey, honing his craft with Shrikant ‘MC Sher’ Bhosle (Siddhant Chaturvedi) and Shweta ‘Sky’ Mehta (Kalki Koechlin) as supporters, while tending to his overprotective, doctor-to-be girlfriend, Safeena Firdausi (Alia Bhatt).
