Best Performances Of Taapsee Pannu

Pink

The movie ">Pink has to top the list among the best performances of Taapsee Pannu. The right of a woman to her sexuality is emphasised in the movie. Pink brought to light a dark side of our culture that the majority of us were unaware of, as well as the way that women are often held accountable even when they are the survivors of abuse. The movie depicts how despite all challenges, the women ultimately succeed, motivating other women to challenge societal standards that are prevalent.

Thappad

The next movie among the best performances of Taapsee Pannu is ">Thappad. With this Anubhav Sinha movie, Pannu established her reputation as one of Bollywood's most reliable and marketable performers. She plays a young housewife who is married into an upper-middle-class family in the film. Her days go by in peaceful monotony until one evening when her husband slaps her in the middle of a house party in front of their guests to vent his aggravation at not getting a work promotion.

The slap starts her on the path to independence by startling her awake to all the microaggressions she had been letting pass by. Critics praised the film universally, saying that Pannu gave her strongest and most compelling performance in this movie to date.

Badla

For this murder mystery, the actor teamed up with Amitabh Bachchan, who starred as her lawyer. Pannu portrays a highly successful businesswoman who is the main suspect in the murder of Tony, her lover, in this official version of Oriol Paulo's Spanish film The Invisible Guests. Tony was Pannu's lover. Her and Bachchan's connection as they try to put together what happened on that fateful evening is what will keep you interested in this intriguing mystery.

Mulk 

Thappad was not the first time Pannu and Anubhav Sinha worked together successfully on a major success. Mulk, an intense courtroom drama in which the actor plays a Hindu lawyer defending her Muslim father-in-law (Rishi Kapoor) against claims that he has ties to a terrorist organisation.

They immediately realise that they are up against a system that is rooted in religious prejudice even though they are unquestionably innocent. Mulk became a thrilling analysis of divisive communal politics because of Pannu's performance as the tough and courageous lawyer, which balanced Kapoor's reserved performance.
