“Women Telling Women’s Stories”
“Yayyyyyy, more Kiran Rao any day!”
With such a humongous love coming it, now everyone is eagerly waiting for the film to get release on March 1.
Laapta Ladies: Plot
The year is 2001, setting is “Nirmal Pradesh”.
A rather gloomy, bewildered young lady named Phool is being sent off from her mayka to sasural.
Her equally youthful husband Deepu appears more cheerful, eager to take his new bride home. Off they go on a train, his face beaming, hers concealed beneath a lonnnnnng ghoonghat.
Traveling in the general compartment, they sit next to another newlywed couple, and the conversation flows, discussing “kis ko dahej mein kitna mila”(How much dowry they get) , while the two fresh brides brace themselves for a terrifying plunge into a future ruled by advanced laws and new bosses.
Except, for destinations they cross, both the men reach their homes, the women, not so much. “Kho, gayi, bhaag gayi, agwaa ho gayi?” No one knows.
People behind Laapta Ladies
Adapted from a story by Biplab Goswami, with a screenplay and dialogue by Sneha Desai and directed by Kiran Rao, the film crafts the North Indian village that serves as its backdrop, with love and a gentle touch.
Every room in every house, every saree worn beneath hand-knitted or locally bought cardigans, from the mix-and-match tea cups to the sleeping cots — the scenery designed by production designer Vikram Singh comes alive with acute attention to detail, open verandahs of the village houses standing sunlit in stark contrast to the windowless rooms within.
