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.

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.
