Based on the true story of India's "Padman" Arunachadam, the film tells the story of the popularization of women's sanitary pads in India. It tells the bloody story of a man desperate to make aunt towel for his wife

Husband Lakshmi is an uncompromising image of a good man. He wholeheartedly wanted to give his wife the happiest married life, and their married life was also sweet and happy. Until a small incident happened that completely changed Lakshmi's life.

Lakshmi found his wife sitting outside a few days a month. And the reason for her sitting outside is very simple. She is menstruating, and she is afraid of dirtying the house. In India, women who are menstruating are a symbol of uncleanness, so they cannot stay in the house and need to sleep outside. Lakshmi thought this behavior was absurd and persuaded his wife to go back to the house, but she insisted on sleeping outside the house. And said that other women in the family were also sitting outside.

In order to allow his wife to go back to sleep during her menstrual period, Lakshmi went to the pharmacy to buy sanitary napkins, and happily took them home to his wife, hoping that she would be happy. However, the price of sanitary napkins is high. The wife said that there are other women in the family besides herself, and they simply cannot afford such expensive sanitary napkins, and insisted that he return the items.

Lakshmi accidentally bandaged his colleague's wound with a sanitary napkin. He also learned from the doctor that many women do not use sanitary napkins but use dirty cloth during menstruation. They are easily infected with viruses and even die in serious cases. Lakshmi, who is concerned about his wife's health, hopes that You can make sanitary napkins for your wife, and you can also benefit women at home. He studied the composition of sanitary napkins, and made a simple one for his wife to try.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Lakshmi had expected. The wife tried to use her husband's loving gift, but to no avail. Lakshmi did not give up. He improved and innovated again and again, and asked women at home to use it again and again. Even if he was rejected, he did not give up. He even went to the door of the medical school to ask female students to try it out, and even bought women's underwear and blood to try it out. However, as a result, Lakshmi was regarded as a pervert by everyone, and the whole village expelled him, even his wife felt humiliated.

His wife returned to her parents' home, and Lakshmi left the village and borrowed a sum of money. He began to study the materials and techniques for making sanitary napkins. People in the village called him a pervert. His mother and sisters were far away from him, and his new wife couldn't stand the strange eyes of others leaving him.

After a lot of hard work from his hometown, he finally completed the sanitary napkin making machine, which cost only 2 rupees.

Accidentally, female artist Parry was in urgent need of sanitary napkins late at night. Lakshmi used the ones she made for her. The next day when she asked about the effect, she got a surprising reply.

It's similar to sanitary napkins available in the market. Such news is simply great news for Lakshmi, not only that, but Lakshmi's nobleman Parry has helped him along the way to support the development of his business, which has made it gradually better. The friendship between the two is heating up, and the lovers are not full. They are both partners, possessions, and confidants of each other.

His machines were sold all over India, bringing jobs to many women. Domestic and foreign media have reported and invited him to speak at the United Nations. He finally had a chance to shout out to the world the power of women.

At the end of the film, Lakshmi still chose to return to his hometown to reunite with his beloved wife, and he had to admire Parry's daring to love, dare to hate, and could afford to let it go, "This is also a whim, not an invitation to spend time with you. lifetime."

    A good film that was almost delayed by the name again. It is as warm and inspirational as "Wrestle, Dad", and even goes further than "Wrestle, Dad" in terms of speaking for women. America has "Iron Man", India has "Padman", what kind of man do we have?

    When I saw this, I suddenly thought about the "backward" thing. Domestically, when people think of places that are backward or have low status for women, they always think of mountainous areas because of their remoteness. But India is not. In the mountainous areas I have been to, women are either working or going to school since childhood. Regarding aunt towels, when I went to the pharmacy, I met a lot of people who bought them, so the "backward areas" in India are actually where Hinduism prevails. place, plain area
