The year is 2001, setting is “Nirmal Pradesh”. A rather gloomy, bewildered young lady named Phool is being sent off from her mayka to sasural. Her equally youthful husband Deepu appears more cheerful, eager to take his new bride home. Off they go on a train, his face beaming, hers concealed beneath a lonnnnnng ghoonghat. Traveling in the general compartment, they sit next to another newlywed couple, and the conversation flows, discussing kis ko dahej mein kitna mila, while the two fresh brides brace themselves for a terrifying plunge into a future ruled by advanced laws and new bosses.
Except, for destinations hoti hain cross, both the men reach their homes, the women, not so much. Kho, gayi, bhaag gayi, agwaa ho gayi? No one knows.
Adapted from a story by Biplab Goswami, with a screenplay and dialogue by Sneha Desai and directed by Kiran Rao, the film crafts the North Indian village that serves as its backdrop, with love and a gentle touch. Every room in every house, every saree worn beneath hand-knitted or locally bought cardigans, from the mix-and-match tea cups to the sleeping cots — the scenery designed by production designer Vikram Singh comes alive with acute attention to detail, open verandahs. . . of the village houses standing sunlit in stark contrast to the windowless rooms within.
Not stopping merely at the cosmetic, Laapata Ladies dips its fingers into this jar of homemade desi ghee, molding out of its characters so authentic, I felt like I was watching my own aunt in actor Geeta Agrawal Sharma. And every slimy, unreliable, corrupt police officer in Ravi Kishan.
Seasoned actors aside, Laapata Ladies' strength lies in its young cast, absolute finds by casting director Romil Modi.
Like Thank You For Coming, jiska TIFF review you can watch here, Laapata Ladies also casts social media influencers, but unlike the previous one, Nitanshi Goel has been given enough room to perform, in fact, she carries a lot of weight on her inexperience shoulders. The actor has over 10 million Instagram followers, I had NOT ONE CLUE, and our digital paths never crossed. Her interpretation of Phool's journey from innocence, to slightly more aware innocence makes your heart melt. Her simple-minded approach to life makes you want to shield her from harm. Nitanshi is lovely, and very likable, standing out in a crowd despite her character being designed to become lost in it.
A 24-year-old Sparsh Srivastav leads the cast with the emotional maturity of someone way beyond his years. Or maybe I'm just projecting because by god at 24 I was an idiot. You start off by disliking Deepak just as much as the system that has created an atmosphere where such young people are forcefully married to each other, but by the end of it, the actor so very clearly stands heads and shoulders above the rest, a stupendous find. Not because cinematographer Vikash Nowlakha has framed him in any special shots, or flattering lighting, it's just due to the sheer force with which the actor believes in the film and the apparent hunger to justify his presence in this production. Very, very good.
While I wish Pratibha Ranta's extra tanned look didn't seem like “brown face” so much, in her character Jaya lies the true heart of the writing. A woman given an unexpected chance due to a twist of fate, and yet every second of every day she lives under the fear of that being taken away. Jaya is a rare human in this entire landscape, allowing herself the luxury of momentary relaxation as she devises a plan and hunts for an escape route before diving back into the chaos.
When women tell stories of women beating the odds, big or small, we think of those who paved the way. Each step forward is built upon the foundation laid by someone else. As Kiran Rao mentioned in our interview, she introduced a character into this narrative — Manju Maai, played by Chhaya Kadam. Manju ek station par chaai bechti hai and is a benefactor to many who live on the station. Just by the simple act of allowing Phool to sit on the bench by her tea shop, Manju saves that little lost girl from the worst fate imaginable. But Manju is harsh, she has had to clear paths for herself and like any Krantikari, knows the way to bring about change is not easy. Usko kisi ne feminism nahi sikhaya, lekin itna pata hai aage kisi ki life bachaani hai toh is “fraud scheme” ke baare mein awareness laani hogi where women's worth is pegged to their utility around the household. It's a wonderful ode to mothers and grandmothers who stood in the way and took the blows. A kind of hard work that doesn't pay dividends during most of their lifetimes. Through Manju, Laapataa Ladies takes one hard look from a distance at the institution of patriarchy, and then slowly but steadily moves closer to pull the curtains back and show you the frailty of its outdated traditions. Why do they want to keep women hidden away and what happens when we find each other, our collective willpower threatening the very tenets of this "fraud scheme".
Rama Rao works as a Deputy Collector (MRO) in Srikakulam District (Ravi Teja) and performs duties with integrity and honesty in the face of injustices. But when he meets his ex-girlfriend Malini (Rajisha Vijayan) he finds out that his husband is missing. While inquiring about his missing ex-girlfriend's husband, Rama Rao learns that more than 20 people have gone missing in the case of red sandalwood smuggling. In that order, Rama Rao focuses on red sandalwood smuggling.
Why were the murders committed in the case of red sandalwood smuggling? What kind of investigation did Rama Rao undertake in the case of missing cases? What are the roles of wife Nandini (Divyansha Kaushik), father (Nazar), and brother (Rahul Ravindran) in Rama Rao's investigation? Did CI Jammi Murali (Venu Thottempudi) cooperate with Rama Rao? What heights has SP Devanand (John Vijay) achieved? The story of Rama Rao On Duty is the answer to the question of what kind of sensational things Rama Rao faced in his investigation.
Stars: Pankaj Tripathi, Sara Ali Khan, Vijay Varma.
Murder Mubarak Movie Review
Murder Mubarak is a delightful concoction of comedy and mystery that pays homage to the classic whodunit genre. Directed by Homi Adajania, the film boasts a stellar cast whose performances elevate the narrative to greater heights.
The Royal Delhi Club, nestled in the heart of the city, exudes an aura of exclusivity and refinement, reserved solely for the elite class. The club serves as a sanctuary for the city's privileged few, a haven where sophistication and privilege intertwine seamlessly. However, the tranquil atmosphere of the club is shattered one fateful evening when a murder occurs amidst the glittering crowd gathered for a prestigious event. Assigned to unravel the tangled web of deception and intrigue surrounding the murder is ACP Bhawani Singh (Pankaj Tripathi), a seasoned detective known for his sharp wit and unwavering dedication to justice. As ACP Singh navigates the labyrinth of lies and deception, he uncovers a web of jealousy, betrayal, and long-held grudges simmering beneath the surface of the club's glamorous facade...
Pankaj Tripathi shines as ACP Bhawani Singh, a bumbling yet surprisingly astute. . . . detective who channels the spirit of Agatha Christie's iconic sleuth, Hercule Poirot, with impeccable flair. Tripathy's portrayal brings a delightful mix of humor and intellect to the character, making him a joy to watch on screen. Sara Ali Khan delivers a captivating performance as Bambi Todi, a character who embodies both fragility and strength in equal measure. Sara brings depth and nuance to her role, drawing audiences into the intricate web of the mystery at hand. Vijay Varma impresses as Aakash Dogra, the large-hearted lawyer whose moral compass guides him through the twists and turns of the investigation. Vijay's portrayal makes him a compelling presence amidst the chaos unfolding around him in the film. Karisma Kapoor dazzles as Shehnaz Noorani, the enigmatic film star with a multitude of secrets hidden beneath her glamorous exterior. Karisma brings a sense of intrigue and complexity to her character, keeping audiences guessing until the very end. Sanjay Kapoor delivers a standout performance as Maharaja Rannvijay Singh, the rundown aristocrat with a troubled past. His portrayal is imbued with a sense of melancholy and vulnerability. Dimple Kapadia adds another layer of eccentricity to Murder Mubarak with her portrayal of Cookie Katoch, a sculptor whose eccentricities provide both comic relief and valuable insights into the case at hand. Her performance is a testament to her versatility as an actor. Additionally, Brijendra Kala impresses in his brief role, that of a simpleton knowing too many secrets, further enriching the tapestry of characters in the film. Tisca Chopra too impresses as the distraught mother.
The cinematography by Linesh Desai is commendable, capturing the essence of the story. The background score complements the narrative perfectly, adding to the tension and suspense as the mystery unfolds. However, the screenplay, adapted from Anuja Chauhan's book Club You To Death, feels somewhat muddled at times, struggling to maintain coherence amid the intricate plot twists. The film would have benefitted from a twenty minute trim. Nevertheless, the stellar performances by the entire ensemble cast keep the film afloat, ensuring that Murder Mubarak remains an engaging and entertaining watch from start to finish.
Pankaj Tripathi getting top billing, above Sara Ali Khan and Vijay Varma shows how much progressive Bollywood has become these days. Watch the film for another fine performance by the actor, as well as the entire cast.
