Laapata Ladies- Film Review

 According to me, it's a must-watch and a mast (Hindi) watch. It reminded me of Basu Chatterjee films like Rajnigandha. 

A simple story, great acting by newcomers to this genre-particularly the female leads, lovely build-up of the rural milieu that reminded me of Peepli Live (the film).

This is how a film should be, though I have nothing against well-made masala films as well. That's a different kind of entertainment altogether.

Go watch it, for Ravi Kishan, Chhaya Kadam (the veterans) but even more for the relative newcomers- Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel. Sparsh Shrivastava is also good. 

No spoilers. There is a bit of suspense to but it is a delightful film. Good writing, editing and direction (by Kiran Rao).
