Director Sidharth Malhotra posteed, “Sometimes you need to get lost to find yourself in more than many ways… This gem of a film story by Biplab Goswami, brilliant screenplay and dialogues by Sneha Desai with additional dialogues by Divyanidhi Sharma says so much in lines and scenes that hit home. Kiran Rao is a master craftsmanship in bringing out performances and nuances by one and all take a bow. Sparsh Shrivastava, Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta and the icing on the cake is Ravi Kishann, he is so so good. The casting by Romil Casting is top class. Many congratulations to Aamir Khan Productions, Jio Studios and Kiran Rao.”
We here at BollySpice loved the film giving 4.5 stars. The review said, “Kiran Rao’s masterpiece, a sparkling gem of a film where the minor flaws – for instance, some initial gags on rusticity that seem too touristic—only enhance the feeling of a flawed gem , that rare kind of creation that shines with a genuine spark. There are many ways to look at Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies. No matter how we look at it, its inherent wisdom and warmth are unimpeachable.”
Presented by Jio Studios, ‘Laapataa Ladies’ (Lost Ladies) is produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande and releases tomorrow March 1st!
