Laapataa Ladies is a small film with a big heart... One of those films you fall in love with... Right from the novel premise to the interesting sequence of events, stellar performances and superb finale, Laapataa Ladies deserves the HIGHEST PRAISE for its originality, honesty and sincerity... DON'T MISS IT!

Laapataa Ladies, starring Nitanshi Goel and Pratibha Ranta - is a charming feminist tale set in 2001's fictional Nirmal Pradesh is a smile-inducing, tear-jerking ode to the strength and struggles of women, leaving you hopeful for their triumphant journey. Director Kiran Rao crafts a grounded fairy tale with sweetness and simplicity, using humor as a not-so-secret weapon. Lapata Ladies made me smile it also made me tear up for the strength and the struggles of women everywhere.

A girl is never smart, she is over smart. A woman is not clever, she is cunning. Laapataa Ladies tramples these age-old narratives by stating loud and clear, "A 'respectable' girl is the biggest fraud in society', as it conditions her to not question the status quo. The story doesn't allow women to play the victim card either. It sternly says, "It's not shameful to be a fool but being proud of one's ignorance is a shame." A delectable blend of heart, mind, and humour, this one's an absolute winner.
