Laapataa Ladies (2024) Review: A Bridal Mix-Up With Bite
★★★★☆
Laapataa Ladies is Kiran Rao's gentle Hindi comedy about two veiled brides swapped on a train in rural India, and a quietly sharp satire of how women are seen.
Yes. It is a warm, funny and thoughtful crowd-pleaser for almost any audience, even if its message is delivered a little neatly by the end.
