Laapataa Ladies Box Office Collection Day 1: Kiran Rao’s latest movie opens with ₹65 lakh
Laapataa Ladies, produced by Jio Studios, Kindling Pictures and Aamir Khan Productions, was released on March 1. The Bollywood movie managed to earn ₹65 lakh. The movie had its world premiere as Lost Ladies at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 8.
“Merrily paced to a tinkering and hummable score, Lost Ladies at first feels like a vibrant heist film. But it gradually exceeds this conceit, offering clever commentary in the farce of patriarchal matrimony and its stifling demands on women," wrote Robyn Citizen, the Director of Festival Programming and Cinematheque at TIFF. “Effervescently filmed, with an impressive ensemble cast, Rao’s charming, whimsical hoot untangles its labyrinthine web of kinships with a surprising depth and an endearing hilarity.
