Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies Earns Rave Reviews In Japan Following Oscar Buzz; Check It Out

Laapataa Ladies, the latest offering from Aamir Khan Productions and directed by Kiran Rao, has received an enthusiastic response from audiences in Japan since its release. Following its entry into the Oscars, the film has continued to captivate viewers with its blend of humor, emotional depth, and strong performances.

The comedy-drama follows the journey of two women as they embark on an unexpected adventure of self-discovery, exploring themes of identity and empowerment. Japanese viewers have taken to social media, sharing their admiration for the film’s engaging storyline and universal themes that transcend cultural barriers.

One viewer tweeted, “#花嫁はどこへ?

It was really good It’s only 124 minutes long, so you can watch it quickly”

Other user said, “I went with great enthusiasm on the first day it was released. It was a wonderful movie and it really moved me. I want to watch it again! It was a good morning # 花嫁はどこへ # 朝活”

There was another tweet that read, “Watched“#シビル・ウォー #アメリカ最後 の日”.

I didn’t know this until I watched it, sol was surprised to find out it was an A24 production, but once I watched it it all made sense! This was pretty amazing! The way the two perspectives coexist and then are reversed due to a certain trigger is extremely shocking. Up until that point the work itself is somewhat slow, and the parts before and after are like completely different works.”

A yet another user wrote, “Where is the bride? 97th Academy Awards India’s entry Best International Feature Film

Comments from Plan staff It all started with an impossible misunderstanding.

I went to FDFS…! What a wonderful movie…! Every single line was so wonderful that I wanted to write them down in my heart’s notebook. When I think back, when I left my son with my husband and was able to go out on my own,

A fan wrote, “O ne worrying event after another occurs, but there is a comforting feeling as if a parent is telling the child (through the story) that as long as they have faith in people, everything will be okay, that the world is not such a terrible place, and that one day they too will be tossed about by the rough waves of life, but that everything will be okay.

A user wrote, “The story is wonderful in that the switched brides each grasp various things and bring about changes in themselves and the women around them through small interactions. I would like to recommend this work to many people I also recommend the pamphlet that contains detailed information about the bride’s dowry and other circumstances (the binding is cute and the content is rich). This is a quick report without any spoilers.
