After being a critical and commercial success in its theatrical run, the much-awaited OTT release of ‘Laapata Ladies’ is finally here. The Kiran Rao directorial has been unequivocally loved by everyone and has been called one of the most important movies of recent times. In addition to being a satire on the ingrained patriarchy within us, it also deals with themes like feminism, identity, choices, and freedom of expression of women. We watched it again upon its arrival on Netflix and the second viewing made us appreciate the nuances of the movie even more.

Kiran’s movie doesn’t talk about drastic changes like Phool doesn’t straight away go and open her own shop rather it is hopeful about the little progress in everyone’s character, all growing towards a better tomorrow.
