Variety

This mode of storytelling can be heavy-handed for the sake of mass appeal, but director Kiran Rao deftly combines the literal and symbolic, resulting in a crowd-pleaser filled — for better or worse — with innate goodness.

Guardian

If you can get with the larky premise, Kiran Rao’s tale of mixed-up newlyweds makes for a gently probing comedy of manners.

Rated: 3/5

The Indian Express

Kiran Rao film is unapologetically message-y, but its strongly beating feminist heart overrides the broad brush strokes. Sometimes things need to be stated loud and clear.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Contending

Lost Ladies is a charming, sometimes biting, satire that weaves a love story with an empowering tale of one woman’s fight for her freedom—and fervent desire for an education.

Rated: B

LAAPATAA LADIES is a nice feel-good movie at the intersection of mainstream and independent cinema. Certainly a bit mellow, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Rated: 7/10

Laapataa Ladies is a fun, revisionist narrative where all the pointers of patriarchy are turned on their head, but at the same time, it treats feminism as a learned process and not a quick solution.

Absolutely a must see movie. I was spellbound by the settings, and also realised how much of a critical role Indian Railways plays in connecting parts of our country.

Absolutely delightful Indian movie that's not quite a comedy, though there are some funny moments, but rather a baring of the challenges of being a woman in India (set in the early 2000s, though), especially in the vast expanse of villages. One aspect that's always hard to fathom for foreigners are the subtle or not so subtle regional and classe differences.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
