MUMBAI : Today marks the anniversary of "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha," a film that not only entertained but also sparked a crucial conversation about sanitation and social change in India. Bhumi Pednekar, who played a pivotal role in the movie also starring Akshay Kumar, reflects on the journey and the profound impact the film has had since its release.

Released in 2017, "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha," directed by Shree Narayan Singh, addressed the pressing issue of inadequate sanitation facilities in rural India through a blend of humor and drama. Pednekar’s portrayal of a strong-willed woman advocating for a toilet in her household resonated with audiences and critics alike, earning widespread acclaim and contributing to a broader dialogue on public health and women's rights.

In her reflection on the film’s anniversary, Pednekar shared, "Looking back, I am incredibly proud of 'Toilet: Ek Prem Katha.' It wasn't just a film; it was a movement. We aimed to challenge societal norms and encourage real change. The fact that the film continued to inspire discussions about sanitation and the importance of clean toilets in every household reaffirms the power of cinema to effect social change."

The film's impact extended beyond the silver screen, influencing government policies and initiatives aimed at improving sanitation infrastructure. Its success highlighted the role of cinema in not just entertaining but also educating and inspiring action on critical issues.

As we celebrate the anniversary of this landmark film, Pednekar's reflections underscore the enduring significance of "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" in shaping conversations around sanitation and social justice in India.
