If you’re looking for something touching but hilarious in a movie, watch Laapataa Ladies.
Set in 2001, somewhere in rural India, two young brides who get accidentally swapped on a train. In the ensuing chaos they each encounter a host of colourful characters, resulting in hilarious and unexpected consequences.
Director Kiran Rao does an amazing job in the movie starring Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Srivasta and Savita Malviy. Nitanshi plays the innocent Phool who is married to Deepak played by Sparsh. There is also the hilarious police officer Manohar (Ravi Kishan).
Laapataa Ladies presents some meaningful dialogues on women empowerment without being too preachy. Then there is the good mixture of music, hitting just the right tempo at the appropriate moments.
No big names, but enough to give you chuckles for two hours. Available on Netflix.
