Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies teaser gives glimpse of hilarious tale of 2 missing brides

The teaser of Kiran Rao’s directorial Laapataa Ladies released on Friday, and gave a sneak peek of a mess created around the search for two young lost brides. Rao had earlier directed the 2010 film Dhobi Ghat starring Aamir Khan, Prateik Babbar, Monica Dogra, and Kriti Malhotra in the lead roles.

The filmmaker has once again collaborated with Khan for Laapataa Ladies. The teaser of the film looks extremely entertaining while it transports us to the backdrop of rural India. While, it exudes the vibes of a clear mess set around the search for the two lost brides, it brings along humor in every frame.

The teaser starts with the character of newly wed groom Deepak Kumar, who is traveling in a train with his wife. After three days of marriage, while returning home, Kumar’s bride goes missing from the train. He lodges an FIR in the police station along with his friend. Ravi Kishan is introduced as inspector Shyam Manohar.

In another scene, a man reports to a different police station about the disappearance of his wife. The teaser shows confusion among the authorities and the family members of the brides. The quirky narrative is supported by the cast that includes Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Chhaya Kadam, and Kishan.

The film was also screened at the grand premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Presented by Jio Studios and produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, Laapataa Ladies is directed by Rao and story by Biplab Goswami.

The film releases on January 5, 2024.
