The makers of Laapataa Ladies hosted a grand screening in Mumbai, attended by several stars who arrived in style. Among them was filmmaker Karan Johar. Kiran Rao, the director of the film, graced the event with her ex-husband Aamir Khan, who also serves as the film's producer. After watching the film, Karan took to his social media platform to shower accolades on the film.
Some time ago, Karan Johar posted on his Instagram account. He shared a poster of Laapataa Ladies and in the caption, he provided an in-depth review of the film, labeling it as one of the 'top films of the year' and commended Karan Rao for her exceptional creative vision in crafting this satirical comedy.

The film features Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Ravi Kishan, and Chhaya Kadam in pivotal roles. Taking place in rural India, the storyline unfolds as two young brides become lost during a train journey, leading to a series of humorous events. The film is scheduled for release tomorrow, March 1st, in theaters.
Taking place in the fictional town of 'Nirmal Pradesh' in 2001, the story revolves around young groom Deepak (portrayed by Sparsh Shrivastava), who embarks on a journey to bring his bride Phool (played by Nitanshi Goel) back to his village after their wedding. Along the way, they travel by train alongside another newlywed couple. However, their lives take an unexpected turn when the brides are inadvertently swapped, resulting in Jaya (played by Pratibha Ramba) entering Deepak's home instead. The similarity in appearance between the two brides, their matching sarees, and long veils (ghoonghat) becomes the catalyst for their ensuing turmoil or liberation.
