'Most important film of our generation': Ayushmann Khurrana's bowled over by Taapsee Pannu's 'Thappad'

Taapsee Pannu's Thappad has been gathering praises from audiences as well as members from the industry for its unique brand of storytelling and the performances of the lead as well as supporting cast members. Ayushmann Khurrana who had attended the premiere for the film tweeted about the same, calling it "the most important film of our generation".

In his tweet, Ayushmann wrote, "#Thappad is the most important film of our generation. @anubhavsinha sir take a bow. Kudos @taapsee @pavailkgulati @Manavkaul19 @deespeak @mrunmayeelagoo #SoumikMukherjee #KumudMishra #RatnaPathakShah #NailaGrewal #MayaSarao @farewellwaltz. Must watch! It’s a master class."

A day before Ayushmann's reaction, his wife Taapsee had also tweeted saying, "#thappad is a wonderful film. It’ll achieve its intention when both men & women go watch it! @anubhavsinha your film making is a master class in itself! @taapsee so much ease in your character that the uneasiness looks so relatable @deespeak @pavailkgulati & rest of the cast."

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta, a few days back, wrote an essay about the film on his website. Here's an excerpt from his blog, "To all the women in my life. To my wife, my mother, my sister, my daughters, my ex-wife, my girlfriends and all those that have been subjected to my societal conditioning. I know it is late. But better late than never. Sorry. Sorry if I have let my sense of entitlement stifle your growth. Sorry if I have let my patriarchal conditioning render me insensitive to your needs. Sorry if I’ve been an a*****e. I will try to change. If I don’t, SLAP me. Kheench ke maarna mujhe Thappad."
