This movie for me wasn't about the "thappad" but more about how quickly a relationship can become stale when people over react to situations and why its not good to be in a relationship with an unreasonable person.
Poorly written characters are hard to stomach, they could've been a bit more palatable to the eye and mind if not for the very obvious morality push this piece of cinema wants to achieve. Protagonist clearly pushes her own insecurities on people around her, making her outright unreasonable in most situations.
All the characters play the perfect blame game, pushing their plight on their moms and grandmoms. The audacity to undermine strength in women who came before us is just antithesis to the propoganda push by resorting to clichéd tropes by people who don't understand modern day feminism.
I prefer to think audience has the capacity to make up their minds about morality of the situations rather than make a statement. One should voluntarily suspend their disbelief to take away what the artist wants to provide in their viewing. It becomes insulting to a point when cinema tries to do what it shouldn't - Teach.
People need to understand that a relationship cannot be distilled down to one single emotion. The story of "Thappad" is what happens when a self centered, insecure and unreasonable person cannot work on a relationship and is used as a guise to push women empowerment as an issue.
Avoid it like Covid-19.
