World Menopause Day is being observed today by individuals all around the world. According to the World Health Organization, menopause, which is a normal aspect of biological aging, affects the majority of women between the ages of 45 and 55. The end of their reproductive years is marked by menopause. Let's unite on this day to spread awareness about the menstrual cycle and keeping good hygiene.
In this area, Bollywood has made a huge contribution. Do you remember Padman, the Akshay Kumar film? For those who don't know, this movie, which was released in February 2018 and was centered on the idea of menstruation, was a huge financial success.
About The Movie, Padman
This expertly created masterpiece, which is directed by director R. Balki, explores the myths surrounding the menstrual cycle. Akshay Kumar, Radhika Apte, and Sonam Kapoor play the main characters in the movie, which is based on the life of social entrepreneur Arunachalam Muruganantham.
Reasons for Watching This Movie
Negates misconceptions about menstruation
In girls, the menstrual cycle can last up to 45–55 years and starts around the age of 11–12. Strong dialogues are used in this movie. "Hum aurton ke liye, bimari se marna, sharam ke sath jeene se zada behtar hai," says Radhika Apte in the movie. The depth of the taboo surrounding menstruation in Indian society is best summed up by this single, extremely potent remark.
Women's Empowerment
One can see that the discussions throughout the movie support the idea of women's empowerment. Stronger women build a stronger country, argues Akshay Kumar in the movie, who is on a quest to make sanitary napkins freely available to women across the nation.
Excellent Acting Abilities
The three actors in the movie have incredible acting abilities. Watching a movie that is based on a social issue without feeling uncomfortable is a joy for the eyes and the mind. Muruganantham's struggles while trying to develop inexpensive sanitary napkins are shown in Pad Man.

This is what R Balki had to say about the movie
According to a February 2018 India TV broadcast, R Balki shared his thoughts on the movie Padman. It was a significant movie and a tribute to Muruganantham, one of the most inventive people who tackled the taboo of menstruation-related concerns. The movie advanced his cause and helped it become a topic of discourse in the family, which is extremely difficult even in industrialized nations! The most significant movie I've ever done, in my opinion, is called Pad Man! Akshay Kumar gave his all to the part and delivered a great performance. A 13-minute monologue performed in one take with shifting emotions! In movies, very few actors have ever done that! I was truly moved by this performance even when we were filming it! ", the well-known director said.
