Love. Respect. Everyone Deserves Both! Watch the Zee Cinema Television Premiere of Thappad, a film that won hearts of families across India

It is rightly said,‘Rishte banane mein utni effort nahi lagti, jitna nibhane mein lagti hain’.Similarly, each one of us are surrounded with loved ones who sacrifice their happiness for ours, but we are so engrossed  in our lives that we tend to take them for granted.Shedding light on this subject and making you think ‘is love without respect worthy of even being called love?’, is Director Anubhav Sinha’s powerful film Thappad. Touted as the most important film of the year, the movie through Amrita’s journey of standing up for her self-respect, makes a point about the society that takes gender roles for granted. Produced by Benaras Media Works, Thappad features the versatile actor Taapsee Pannu as Amrita Sabbrawal along with the newcomer Pavail Gulati as Vikram Sabbrawal. The film also stars Dia Mirza, Ratna Pathak Shah, Tanvi Azmi, Maya Sarao and Kumud Mishrain pivotal roles. After winning a lot of love and respect at the theatres, the family drama ‘Thappad’ is coming to your homes with its World Television Premiere on Zee Cinema on 28^th June at 8 pm.

Elaborating on the experience of making Thappad, Anubhav Sinha said, “Thappad has been a challenging experience for me and It’s something that I am immensely proud of. The movie tackles a plethora of issues of domestic violence that have unfortunately been normalised. A whole lot of us indulge in gas lighting without realising it. And, in order to correct our behaviour, we need to first know that it is incorrect. We have worked hard to encapsulate the right messaging and emotion throughout our film; it is important, now more than ever for the film and what it stands for, to reach as many people as possible.  The response so far has been phenomenal. I am grateful to be a part of an era where storytelling as well as audiences, are evolved enough to embrace such movies that are against the tide. With the World Television Premiere on Zee Cinema, we hope to bring a change in the mindset of the people about this crucial issue that people take for granted.”

Thappad is a journey of Amrita, a talented, educated and a loving housewife who was happy with her life being surrounded with her family and husband’s priorities until the day her husband slaps her in front of a crowd. Amrita’s perfect relationship is shattered, and she embarks on a tough journey to fight for her self-respect stating that, even if it’s just a slap, wo nahin maar sakta.

To find out where Amrita’s journey of standing up for herself leads her, don’t miss watching the World Television Premiere of Thappad only on Zee Cinema on 28th June at 9pm!

Leading Hygiene Brand Pee Safe partners with Thappad starring Taapsee Pannu ahead of Women’s Day

●       The partnership is directed at encouraging women to empower and protect themselves against health issues such as UTI

New Delhi, February 27, 2020: Pee Safe, India’s leading personal hygiene and wellness brand, has collaborated with the movie Thappad starring Taapsee Pannu. A video featuring Taapsee went live ahead of International Women’s Day 2020. It is trending as #BeSafewithPeeSafe on various social media platforms.

Thappad, to be released this Friday, 28^th February, shows how in a marital relationship, one slap is enough to become the deal breaker. Pee Safe believes that the same holds true for the health and hygiene of women. Diseases such as urinary tract infection (UTI) can cause long-term complications if they become a recurring phenomenon. So steps must be taken to ensure that they don’t happen even once.

In the video, Taapsee speaks about how it is important to take precautions against both violence and health issues – and Pee Safe can become a trusted partner in empowering their well-being. The brand is a leader in the women’s personal hygiene segment and has directed its efforts towards preventing health issues amongst them since inception. Pee Safe has also partnered with the movie Toilet Ek Prem Katha earlier.

Speaking about this, Vikas Bagaria, Founder, Pee Safe, said, “We are happy to partner with the movie Thappad. The movie has some brilliant performances especially by Taapsee and encourages women to take charge of their own well-being and safety. Pee Safe is empowering women to do this through products such as the toilet seat sanitizer spray which can prevent UTI and other infections. On International Women’s Day, it is time for women to take a pledge and say yes to good health and personal hygiene.”

In the last 30 months, Pee Safe has disrupted the women’s hygiene products’ segment by introducing environment friendly products. The brand started with the Toilet Seat Sanitizer category that became a bestseller followed by other products addressing feminine and personal hygiene. Today, Pee Safe is a preferred choice amongst its customer base.

Pee Safe’s Toilet Seat Sanitizer Spray is a dermatologically tested product and kills microbes within 10 seconds, apart from being very travel friendly. Pee Safe was commercially launched in 2013, and by October 2015, the brand  had sold over 100, 000 units. Since then, there has been no looking back. Pee Safe now has a range of products including eco-friendly Sanitary Pads, Organic Cotton Tampons, Menstrual Cups, Panty Liners, Breast Pads, Natural Intimate Washes, Wipes and Sweat Pads for both men and women, and Pollution Safe Anti-Pollution Dust Masks

Pee Safe recently raised INR 30 crore in Series A funding led by Alkemi Growth Capital, a health and wellness focused fund. The brand has also launched its products in the subcontinent region and plans to expand their reach globally in the next five years. Pee Safe products are currently available in modern trade, general stores, airports and organized stores across 40+ cities and online at www.peesafe.com and across leading e- commerce platforms such as Amazon, Nykaa, and Flipkart.
