Budget

Thappad is made on an estimated budget of Rs 15 crore including print and advertising cost. The Anubhav Sinha film needs to cross the Rs 20 crore mark to be an average hit.

Box-office prediction

The cons of releasing a social film is its lack of entertainment value and which is why the film would not cater to a mass audience. We predict Thappad's opening day collection to be somewhere around Rs 2-2.5 crore. It would barely rake Rs 8 crore by the opening weekend.

Movie Review

Reviewing the Taapsee Pannu film, Sreeju Sudhakaran of LatestLY wrote, 'Thappad may revolve around an ill-thought slap on the cheek of a loved one, but the film is more of a resounding slap on the male privilege and societal complacency. Well-written, well-directed and well-performed, with Taapsee in excellent form, Thappad completes Anubhav Sinha's hattrick of effectively-made social dramas. Do not miss this!
