Kiran Rao’s directorial, Laapataa Ladies, features Sparsh Shrivastava, Pratibha Ranta, Nitanshi Goel, and Ravi Kishan in the lead roles. The film is based on an original story by Biplab Goswami, with the screenplay and dialogue crafted by Sneha Desai, along with additional dialogue by Divyanidhi Sharma.

Set in rural India in 2001, the film's story follows two brides who are accidentally swapped during a train journey. As their husbands embark on a quest to find the correct bride, the narrative unfolds with numerous twists and turns.

Produced by Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, the film marks Kiran Rao’s return to directing after a 14-year hiatus following her debut with Dhobi Ghat in 2010. Before its theatrical release, the film was showcased at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2023, where it received a standing ovation from the audience.

Though the film was well-received by audiences when it was later released on Netflix India, it struggled to attract viewers during its initial theatrical release.
