Phullu movie review and ratings by audience: Live updates

Director Abhishek Saxena's Bollywood movie Phullu, starring Sharib Hashmi, Jyotii Sethi and Nutan Surya, has received positive reviews from the audience.

Story: Phullu (Sharib Hashmi) is a good-for-nothing young man, who lives with his mother and sister in a village. His mother (Nutan Surya) wants him to do some work, but he travels to the city to get things for the women. During one such visit, he learns that the women in his village are ignorant about sanitary napkins. How he fights his family, village and society to make menstruation more hygienic and comfortable for women around him forms the crux of the story.

Mensuration, such a heavy word and such a beautiful thing. Its a part of women's life.its not a disease and nothing impure about it, nothing to hide. there is nothing wrong to talk about it.nothing adult or vulgar in it. My dad and my younger brother who is a school kid buys me pads.guys don't have to wait till they get married to understand what mensuration is.teach your kid about mensuration, talk to them. How will your kids respect women if they don't understand women.

An absolutely brave and empathetic attempt to lift the secrecy over sanitary pads, Phullu heralds that time of the year when we can talk honestly about that time of the month' 3 and a half stars. Subhash K Jha.
