Geographically laapata ladies ❌ Socially lost ✅

"EVERY WOMAN, TOO, HAS AN ARTIST IN THEM"

It takes just a single cinematic masterpiece at a time to open the eyes of many. However, laapata ladies, a typical low-budget blockbuster delves into multiple societal issues with genuine laughs.

Every woman harbors a unique talent within regardless of her background. The film advocates female independence, sheds light on their challenges. Yet, it portrays women who lack courage - women seeking hefty dowries, bribing for their son - the actual laapata ladies. Those, geographically lost, display remarkable courage. The transformatiob of a flower-like Phool to the adaptability of independence tells us a lot. Jaya, exploring, the talents of other women to their potential is incredible.

However, the film has multiple flaws. As the saying goes, experience enriches ones writing. Similarly, I feel, the writers here, haven't traveled much on the trains, rather just by airplanes. The story set in 2001, portrays the trains which were re-built in 2018. Strange. Phool sits on the bus with no ghunghat, then why on the train? For more drama, the groom doesn't even see her face all the way until his home.

Overall, it is truly heartwarming with comedy. Almost all the characters are loveable. Manju Maayi did a great job. Ravi Kishan, as usual, FANTASTIC! Phool's character development warmed my heart. There were beautiful shots of buses along the ghats, villages, trains along the dams, could have shot some more beautiful ones of the village itself.
