Kiran Rao's satirical drama ‘Laapataa Ladies’ has been earning widespread acclaim from the audience ever since its OTT release.
The comedy, centered around missing brides, is particularly lauded for the performances of its debutant actors. Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt have both praised the social dramedy on their social media platforms.
Priyanka Chopra took to her Instagram Stories and wrote, ‘Thank you for the entertainment and the education @raodyness! Congratulations on this gem (blessings and heart-shaped-eye emojis) make more movies!’
Alia wrote an appreciation post for the actors and Kiran for their work in ‘Laapataa Ladies’. She wrote, ‘Such a wonderful time at the movies…(heart emoji). These ladies @pratibha_rabta @nitanshigoelofficial (and gentlemen this side @ss_this_side @ravi_kishann) truly have my heart..@raodyness Such a beautiful film.. and what fabulous performances by the entire cast! Congratulations to all of you…’
Earlier, in an interview with news agency PTI, Kiran said that although most women have not experienced being under the veil, they could still relate to the film. She said, ‘There's some sort of universality in a woman's experience across classes and a lot of that goes unacknowledged, unseen or unrepresented in cinema.’
Kiran further added, ‘Hearing the response to the film, I realised that it's possible to change the status quo with very small interventions and reclaim some space for ourselves, even within the setup that we, maybe, cannot change. That has been nice to hear from women.’
