Review by: Manisha Lakhe

This is a dramatised biopic of India's sanitary 'Pad' man, who in his quest for making cheaper sanitary napkins for his wife, suffered socially, was ostracised and then ultimately acknowledged for his innovation. Akshay Kumar does a fabulous job as small town inventor but the story comes together only in the second half with the arrival of Sonam Kapoor who guides him to greatness. If you can endure the slow, unmoving first half, this film is socially relevant.

Review by: Devesh Sharma - Filmfare

Akshay Kumar has embodied the spirit of Arunnachalam Murganatham. It's a very sincere effort. His speech towards the end, though long, is straight from the heart. You feel you're watching someone with genuine concern for women and not just an actor going through the paces.

Review by: Masala

While R Balki’s ‘Padman’ wins points for telling a story that’s worthy of applause, his efforts appear muddled and unworthy of our full attention. Blame it on a dull first-half, and poor casting. Unlike movies like Vicky Donor and Shubh Mangal Savdhan, which dealt with unconventional topics, this one lacks any genuine humour and Ayushman Khuranna!

The movie emphasizes on use of sanitary napkins while women are in their mences. Brave attempt by the director R. Balki to make a movie on such a sensitive and tabooed topic. Akashay Kumay is the real gem of the movie. While both Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte play their roles perfectly well. All in all, the film says that sanitary napkin is like a 'jeanie' for women for a clean female hygine!
