Five Engaging Films Of Taapsee Pannu You Can Watch While Waiting For Looop Lapeta

Best Taapsee Pannu films to watch: Taapsee Pannu is kickstarting the year 2022 with a quirky thriller Looop Lapeta, releasing on February 4, 2022. The actor will be seen alongside Taahir Raj Bhasin, best known for his work in films like 83 and Mardaani, in this film.  Directed by Aakash Bhatia, Looop Lapeta is the Hindi adaptation of a German movie named Run Lola Run.

The trailer of Looop Lapeta was launched on Thursday, introducing us to Savi, who is tired of running away from her past, and yet has to run as if her life depends on it, in order to save that of her "useless boyfriend". There seems to be a SciFi angle to the film as well as Savi and her boyfriend seem to be stuck in a loop that restarts the minute he ends up dead.

The premise of Looop Lapeta sounds unique and engaging, but it is still nearly three weeks away from its release. So to bid your time, here are five other Taapsee Pannu films that you can watch, or re-watch instead:
