In filmmaker Kiran Rao’s upcoming directorial Laapataa Ladies, two young brides in rural India go missing from a train. It leads to chaos, confusion, suspicion and a lot of searching. The comedy-drama, backed by Rao and superstar Aamir Khan, is finally set to release theatrically on March 3, 2023.
Laapataa Ladies marks Rao’s return to direction 11 years after her debut film Dhobi Ghat. The teaser of the movie dropped on Wednesday and will also be attached to the prints of Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, which opens on August 11.
The official synopsis of Laapataa Ladies reads, “When two young brides get lost from a train, the chaos that ensues is both funny and moving – accidentally sparking a journey no one expects.” The film stars Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Chhaya Kadam and Ravi Kishan.
Kiran Rao, who started her film journey as one of the assistants on the sets of Aamir-starrer ‘Lagaan’, is best known for directing ‘Dhobi Ghat’, which was released in 2010. It starred Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra and Kriti Malhotra.
