After a hiatus of 13 years, Kiran Rao has returned to the director’s chair with Laapataa Ladies, following her last critically acclaimed film, Dhobi Ghat. The film’s trailer was unveiled on Wednesday, and it is jointly produced by Kiran’s ex-husband and actor Aamir Khan, along with Jyoti Deshpande. Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastav, and Nitanshi Goel play lead roles in the film.

Set against the backdrop of rural India, Laapataa Ladies revolves around the story of two young brides who get exchanged on a train. The trailer showcases the groom, Deepak Kumar, portrayed by Sparsh Shrivastav, on a desperate quest to find his real bride. Seeking assistance in his search, he meets a police officer, played by Ravi Kishan. As the investigation unfolds, the police officer becomes suspicious of the bride who got inadvertently exchanged with Deepak Kumar’s wife. This causes a lot of confusion, chaos, and moments of laughter.

Laapataa Ladies premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2023. The film received a standing ovation at the festival. The film, produced under the banners of Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, is based on an award-winning story by Biplab Goswami.
