They effectively portray a realistic father-son duo embroiled in a swirl of problems. The lesser said of the movie's plot, the better; I would suggest one to go watch it directly. Highly recommended, indeed.

Lost Ladies 2023
Laapataa Ladies (2024) is an endearing tale of two lost ladies who rediscover their destinies due to unforeseen events. This character-driven work of art provides redeeming qualities for each character, reminiscent of a Ruskin Bond story brought to life. The film condemns ancient customs like dowry and spousal abuse prevalent in India, while also highlighting feminism and the right to education for women without being preachy. The lead performances by Nitanshi, Pratibha, Sparsh, Ravi Kishan, and Chhaya Kadam stand out in this movie. It sets a high standard for Indian cinema that viewers can expect more of.
