In this summer, it felt like a shelter, like an oasis, like a drop of rain in the season of drought.
It takes out a courage to represent such a simple story, so innocently with the treatment to make it a master piece.
In the era of blockbusters, where per day collection is the only measure of a good or bad movie, such smooth polished gems are becoming rare to be found. But when you get it, there is no bigger satisfaction to see these gems picked up by more and more movie lovers.
Review:
Laapata Ladies, presents an Innocent, raw and honest story with a passion and personal touch.
Actors are chosen so perfectly, that they don’t form a movie cast, but a family.
For a 2 hour of narration, you find yourself indulged in an era of story setup, you find yourself drenched into time-period of early 20s. It will remind you the time of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and similar parallel film makers, who ruled the hearts of viewers with their simple but close to real social cinema.
The Scrip, story, narration, writing and cinematography, compels each other. Each character is given full justice, full frames to get developed and nurtured.
Every event has justification and impact in story progression and conclusion at end of the story.
Each frame is casted with care and passion, flawless editing and direction.
Dialogue and segments of story are well woven with each other and completes in itself. It’s a must watch, not to be missed social satire, where messages are well planted in viewer's heart and mind.
Scenes with Ravi Kishan as typical rural police inspector are stellar and leaves no spot in this clean cinema.
The experience can not be written in a small review, its a personal feel which can be felt by self, only by indulging into the flow of this river of the clean calm story, which flows on its on waves, effortlessly.
