Hansal Mehta reviews Kiran Rao-directed Laapataa Ladies
On April 27, Hansal Mehta took to his X (Twitter) account and shared his review for the film Laapataa Ladies.
He wrote, “Saw the very big hearted and moving Laapata Ladies. Sometimes all that is needed is simplicity and clarity. This film is that. I went in expecting more and finished with more than it apparently delivers. It is old fashioned in a good way and modern in a very invisible manner. It is deceptively simple in its treatment and humour."
Sneha Desai on Laapataa Ladies story
Speaking about the story, the film's writer Sneha Desai stated, “The story spoke so beautifully to us because even though it was set in the heartland of India, it was primarily the story of any woman. You place it in an urban milieu and it would still call out to you, you place it in a dark milieu and it would still call out to you."
She continued that it is the universal theme of empowering women, of following your dreams, of finding yourself when you have lost track of your dreams and aspirations that called out to us and decided that they wanted to say a lot of things through their characters and this story.
Aamir Khan heaps praises on Sparsh Shrivastava
During the chat with author Neelesh Misra for Netflix India, Aamir Khan praised all the actors of Laapataa Ladies, particularly Sparsh Shrivastava, whom Aamir admitted surprised him. He said, “When I saw the film for the first time, when Kiran showed me the first cut, all the actors, including even the junior-most actors, did a great job."
He continued, "These three, he gestured toward Nitanshi, Pratibha, and Ravi, did a great job. You fulfilled your roles with such flair. But the character that surprised me was Sparsh’s. His performance shocked me. I could see the others’ performance on paper itself. But Sparsh’s character wasn’t written so clearly on paper. He had nothing to do; he was just panicking and running around. But when I saw him enact it, I was bowled over. The way he has performed it, your heart goes out to him.”
