Kiran Rao’s recently released movie Laapataa Ladies has moved the country to its core. Set in rural India, this comedy-drama is the story of three individuals: Phool Kumari (Nitanshi Goel), Jaya (Pratibha Ranta), and Deepak Kumar (Sparsh Shrivastav). When the lives of these three intertwine, it treats the audience with a warmth that is hard to erase or fade. Twinkle Khanna has now praised the same.

Kiran Rao reshared the same in her story and shared three emojis: a smile, a white heart, and a flower.
More about Laapataa Ladies
This movie marked the comeback of Kiran Rao in the director’s seat after almost a decade since she helmed Dhobi Ghat (2011). The movie in reference didn’t really pull any gender or strata of society but in a satirical way, it uplifted the stories of women. Recently, Kiran spoke about the same to Scroll and shared, “Comedy disarms and charms you, as opposed to talking down to you. Comedy lets you have these conversations in the guise of amusing you.”
According to her, the best way to have a conversation is with empathy and humor. She admitted that the issues she spoke about in the film had already been discussed before but because things didn’t change over time, these conversations must continue.
She added, “Biplab (writer)’s script was ripe with potential to explore all these different ideas and to build characters that were grey and fun and familiar in one way, but also surprising.” Laapataa Ladies also featured some of the finest actors in supporting roles, including Ravi Kishan and Chhaya Kadam, among others.
Bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, the Laapataa Ladies’ album has been composed by Ram Sampath and is available to stream on Netflix. It enjoys an IMDb rating of 8.5/10.
