Akshay Kumar’s PadMan has become a hit in the nation, what with menstruation and its hygiene being a taboo.
With a film based on such a topic, not only the industry but also the celebrities are coming out and talking about the problems associated with the taboo and how it shall be broken.
On the other side is our neighboring country Pakistan that has banned the R. Balki directorial strangely. Not only the decision is receiving flak from Indians but also from the people of Pakistan. Take a look:
Yes, Pakistani Women menstruate too. I support #Padman and menstrual hygiene. Ban on @PadManTheFilm in Pakistan is senseless. Release it now. pic.twitter.com/KpsTL6Rc3a

Banning PadMan in Pakistan is another one of those illogical things that simply affect the business of cinemas in Pakistan.
Menstruation is a fact of life, and bringing it to mainstream consciousness is neither immoral nor un-Islamic.— Mehr Tarar (@MehrTarar) February 10, 2018
