The memes of Laapata Ladies are going viral all over. A fan wrote, “I feel like the #LaapataaLadies movie is a collective manifestation of us all feeling lost but in the most wonderful way possible.” A second fan shared the scene featuring actor Chhaya Kadam and wrote, “I have stayed alone for more than 5 years in different stages of my life, The idea of women staying alone, whether you are married or unmarried, is very foreign and uncomfortable for the ‘society’ to accept. Today while watching #LaapataaLadies, I felt so heard and seen!”
A fan praised the film and said, “A delightful and wonderful blend of comedy, love, heart set in a beautiful rustic environment amidst Arijit’s vocals and some brilliant acting from every character makes this movie an absolute winner. Ravi Kishan’s confrontation scene is whistle-worthy. Oscars ??” Another fan selected the scene where Sparsh’s character Deepak says ‘I love you’ to Nitanshi’s Phool and wrote, “#LaapataaLadies – It’s been years since I watched such a heartwarming soulful movie in Hindi. The more local a filmmaker delves into, the more global the film becomes. This is one such film, addressing Women’s empowerment, amazing storytelling, and awesome acting. And this scene, wow.”
