Bohot pyari film hai Laapata ladies. aur is film ka title sach me classic hai ladies laapata hi hai over all. Dhoondwaai zaroori hai. par dukh ki baat ye hai ki is film ka audience ko dhundna padh raha hai. easily my favourite film right now!!”

Laapataa Ladies has received impressive reviews from the critics. The film is set in the rural backdrop of the fictional Nirmal Pradesh. The narrative opens in a second-class train car with a number of recently married couples making their way to their separate villages. The brides are all wearing long ghunghats, or veils, covering their faces. After hurriedly stepping off the train and avoiding the night’s darkness, Deepak (Sparsh Shrivastava) takes his wife’s hand and heads toward his village only to realise he has left behind the woman he has married and dragged home the wrong bride. All hell breaks loose.

gave the film a 4-star rating and wrote, “Rao manages to intertwine all these stories and juxtapose them with one another at right junctions, without being too in-your-face about it. The subtlety works beautifully as the stark contrast in each of the characters’ lives unfolds. The best part about the film is that it doesn’t make women feel victimised or play the victim card. Laapataa Ladies is a film which should be celebrated by every gender. In the season of big screen larger-than-life entertainers, Rao’s film comes across as refreshing and turns out to be a clear winner.”
