The Oxford Union is a society founded in 1823 and it invites renowned leaders and influencers to discuss topics of Importance. In the past, personalities like Shashi Tharoor, the Dalai Lama, Malala Yousafzai, Salman Rushdie, and Morgan Freeman had been invited by the society. PadMan being the first Bollywood movie to be showcased and discussed at the society is a great achievement for the filmmakers as well for India.

Interestingly enough, PadMan’s plotline and subject matter is a totally unique concept which has never been explored by films, particularly in India. It’s about an illiterate man who comes to realize that menstruation is treated as a disease and there is a need to make people aware of the facts and ensure menstrual hygiene among the females of his town.
There is already a buzz about the film and reports suggest that it’s going to do a great job at the Box Office. It’s quite delightful and a sign of a progressive society that people are actually ready to discuss female hygiene and be informed about the subject matter.
