Kiran Rao Reflects on the Power of Storytelling as ‘Laapataa Ladies’ Shines at the Oscars

Kiran Rao

MUMBAI: Kiran Rao, the acclaimed filmmaker known for her thought-provoking narratives, celebrates her birthday today with the spotlight on her latest triumph—Laapataa Ladies, which has garnered international acclaim, including an official entry at the 2024 Oscars.

In a recent interview, Rao shared insights into the essence of storytelling, emphasizing its profound power to shift societal mindsets. “Storytelling, it can open that little window of perception, can change very old mindsets with sometimes just a small question or a small decision,” she remarked. This philosophy has always been at the heart of Rao’s creative approach, and it powerfully connects with Laapataa Ladies, a film that deftly combines humor and social commentary.

Laapataa Ladies is a refreshing exploration of the lives of women in a small Indian town, tackling issues like autonomy, tradition, and the complexities of human relationships. The film’s narrative weaves a delicate balance between humor and pathos, inviting audiences to question long-held norms while celebrating the transformative power of choice, even in seemingly small moments.

Laapataa Ladies has been directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film starred Nitashi Goel, Pratibha Ranta and Sparsh Shrivastava in key roles. The film released in theatres on March 1, 2024 and is currently available to stream online.
