Taapsee Pannu Feels Thappad Would Have Had Another Three Week Run If Lockdown Wasn’t In Place

Taapsee Pannu starrer Thappad was doing an okay business in the theatres for whatever time it stayed in them, well, two weeks to be precise. After that, the nationwide lockdown happened and the box-office run of the film came to a sudden halt.

The actress, however, feels that especially because after the lockdown a spike in the cases of domestic violence has been reported, this film would have done well if it stayed in the theatres. Speaking to Mid-Day Taapsee said, "Thappad was in theatres for only two weeks, and its numbers were rising due to positive word-of-mouth. It would have run for another three weeks. But in March, COVID-19 was a far bigger crisis than the [box-office] numbers of any movie. Everyone associated with the film got their due, and now, it's out there for others to watch too."
