The film was once translated as "Pad Man" and was adapted from the true deeds of Muruganantham, an Indian grassroots entrepreneur. Due to the high tariffs on sanitary napkins, in 2012, more than 80% of women in India still could not use sanitary products during their menstrual period. The protagonist Lakshmi (Akshay Kumar), who has a junior high school education, is looking for a low-cost method to produce sanitary napkins for the health of his wife (Radhika Apte), but is regarded as a pervert and a lunatic by the whole village; finally, he went to the big city of Delhi and met the most important beautiful partner in his life, Pari (Sonam Kapoor), and finally invented a low-cost sanitary napkin production machine and opened a patent, which brought changes to the concept of women's menstrual hygiene in India. In July 2018, India abolished the import tariff on sanitary napkins. "Powerful and strong people will not make a country strong. Only when women, mothers, and sisters are strong, can a country be strong."
