लापता लेडीज

Laapata Ladies is a sort of film that is very rare these days. A satire that is an eye-opener for the audience and needs everyone's attention. With unknown cast, limited budget and great script, it's a movie for all age-groups, every gender and is bound to go a long way.

This Kiran Rao's tragicomedy of two brides in rural India who accidentally get swapped during a train journey while returning from their wedding. Their misadventures after this strange event will make you laugh and the same time think about the social taboos a women has to go through in our society.

Ravi Kishan playing the cop investigating this case is a delight to watch. Very subtly and hilariously he gives movie the much needed comic side that perfectly balances the emotional cause for which the movie was made. Probably one of his best performance till date.

Newcomers Sparsh Shrivastava (Deepak), Nitanshi Goel (Phool) & Pratibha Ranta (Jaya), they all justified their casting by giving some of the memorable performances. Hats off to all of them.

Laapataa Ladies - THE BEST MOVIE OF 2024,period!

This is a perfect example of how to take a movie with a strong and inspiring storyline.

Kiran Rao is a commendable story teller, and she surely knows to have the right blend of dialogue delivery with sensibility and delicacy.

Nitanshi Goel's acting is a benchmark and she embodies it with full of life. Her emotions, innocence, vulnerability and happiness can be truly felt as she takes us through her tough journey in a completely unknown world.

Phool and Deepak's purest love, chemistry and just being there for one another when it's really needed is worth to withhold in your memory for a long time.

This movie is a big inspiration for women and future generation.

Today, I went to the theatre to experience Kiran Rao's new movie, "Laapataa Ladies." I was stunned when I watched the movie. The performances, storytelling, humor, and social messages were outstanding. Initially, I wasn't very interested in seeing her new movie, considering Kiran Rao had directed only one movie in her career, "Dhobi Ghat." However, knowing that she is Aamir Khan's ex-wife and has been a co-director, writer, and producer of many good films, I decided to give it a try.

Let's talk about the movie. The cast is entirely new; actors and actresses are all new faces to me. But they gave their best in the movie, especially Pratibha Ranta and Ravi Kishan. The social message part of the movie was really good, highlighting how women were treated like servants or slaves. They showed various issues, including agricultural problems, that exist in India.

The movie is set in the 20s era when mobile phones were just introduced in India, and the only game was the snake game on Nokia mobiles, so there was no internet, no Gen Z, and no adult scenes. It was a purely cinematic experience. The girl who stole my heart is Nitanshi Goel. She is so cute, man. I loved her. She is now added to my crush list.

Anyway, you should watch this movie if you want to see some good wholesome social drama. This movie will absolutely win your heart. I give this movie 4.5/5. Lastly, I want to share something that happened in the theatre. A guy who was working at INOX, where I watched the movie, asked me, "Sir, boi ta kemon laaglo ar etake apni koto star deben out of 5." I told him the same rating that I gave in this review.

Wow! This is one of the rare movies that actually made me cry. Tears were rolling down my cheek by the end of the movie. The three leading actors did phenomenal work but my favourite was Nitanshi Goel as Phool. Her innocence was enough to make me fall in love with her and root for her throughout the film.

The scene where Phool gets her first salary is just so heartwarming! From being this naive young girl in a completely unfamiliar place to finding her strength and becoming financially independent, her journey was beautiful. The film is wonderfully developed, and it works as a true dramedy, a positive one at that, where we are shown there is something good out of everything. You feel for the characters since the beginning and celebrate their success. Sparsh Srivastava as Deepak is so lovable and Pratibha as Jaya is witty. The bonding all the characters manage to develop is lovely. The way Phool calls out to Deepak and they both hug each other while crying, it's best scene in the whole film ! The scene where Deepak secretly holds Phool's hand and she looks at him and then after a point, lets go off her ghunghat while they keep holding hands had me with butterflies in my stomach !!! Lovely film !!

Such a beautiful way of story telling. Humour with a message hidden in it. Amir Khan productions should be a school for aspiring film makers. The way the characters are portrayed strike a chord with the societal norms. Ravi Kishan who is playing the cop is the soul of the film. Other actors too have played their part very well. The set up in the 90s is wonderfully displayed on the screen. Characters listening radios, cyber cafe etc etc. The movie sends a strong message for woman empowerment and the upliftment of women in the society. The women still being considered as some sort of slave in the society when artificial Intelligence is surpassing human intelligence.
