Really, really enjoyed Kiran Rao's #LaapataaLadies and how she abandons the smug tone underlying satirical messaging to reimagine a society still capable of fixing its follies by finding its strength in subversion in the most jaunty, jovial fashion. https://t.co/FLTVSrbRuQ

'Laapataa Ladies' is produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande. The film stars Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastav and Ravi Kishan in key roles. The script is inspired by an award-winning story by Biplab Goswami. The film is about two rural brides who get swapped and lose their way because of their veils.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kiran Rao said, “I was laapataa without really intending to be. I was in the world of storytelling, but in the background. There was that frustration where I was waiting to make the right thing. Although I do think the wait helped me find myself. My skill improved, I have a better command over my craft now''.
