"Laapataa Ladies" (Lost Ladies) prompts a contemplation on the contrast between films like "Salaar," "Animal," "Pushpa," and the "KGF" franchise. Kiran Rao's film, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023, offers a quieter exploration of human nature compared to the loud, masculine narratives dominating Indian cinema. The story revolves around two brides in rural north India who swap places after their weddings, delving into existential questions as they find themselves amidst the search for them by their grooms.
