PADMAN is a fictionalized account of Padmashri Arunachalam Muruganatham, the man who revolutionized the manufacture of the low cost sanitary napkin in India. Lakshmi is a newly married, humble welder from a rural village in the heart of India. Lakshmi’s incredible journey starts when he is shocked to discover that his wife uses an unhygienic cloth during her periods. Unable to afford a branded pad, he decides to make a sanitary napkin himself. After several attempts, his irate wife refuses to be part of his experiments. Lakshmi’s love and concern for his wife, and his determination to make the pad, leads him into situations that cause so much shock and embarrassment that it compels his wife to leave him and his village to banish him. Lakshmi doesn’t give up. His simplicity of thought, his resilience, his focus and complete disregard for convention finally leads him to his destiny.
