Laapataa ladies is a comedy drama film directed by kiran rao.
I think i have seen one of the most beautiful film of this year. This is a soft, moist touch on your film sensations, spearheaded by superlative, thoughtful writing. The writers never let the social commentaries overdrive the screenplay of the film, except for one or few instances in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. The film leaves small, beautiful metaphors in places around the film. The first scene itself sets up that, when phool's mother ties a knot with some offerings in her saree's drape, that is brought back into the film again when she earns her own money and ties it in her same knot. A reflection of the aspirations of young women and how they are blindsided by inaccurate representations of traditions. There are multiple sharp attacks on veils, ghoonghat and also on hijab, when it poses threat to the investigation. This film also reflects bravely on secure and toxic masculinity between two male characters that is of deepak and pradeep.
The trio of sparsh srivastav, nitanshi goel and pratibha ranta hit the bull's eye with their superb portrayals. Nithanshi goel as phool, develops and learns to have something of her own, while also wanting to be with her husband, a character that celebrates true blood feminism. Sparsh srivastav as deepak is so so good. The love in his eyes for phool is what male characters can learn in various films. He screams of a secure, content masculine character. But my favourite of the lot is pratibha ranta as pushpa/jaya. She is fiery, unapologetic for herself and opinionated. A lively, educated character. She knows what it takes to live one's dreams, while also keeping one's kindness intact. Ravi kishan as manohar and chhaya kadam as manju maai will also make you feel good about the film. The music by ram sampath is astounding. Sajni sung by arijit singh is fabulous. The score never atrracts attention of its viewers, it always assists the scene. The cinematography is simple but the simplicity wins us over. The comedy works hugely, the dialgoues are funny and thought provoking. "Sapne dekhne ke liye maafi nahi mangte." So simple yet so effective.
This is winner film, not screaming for attention but fighting for everyone's cause. These are the kind of films that make you feel good about watching films.
