Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ inspired by a 2019 short film? Netizens react
One wrote- “It screams duplicity and sad to see copied/ inspired work like Laapataa Ladies presented as original for the Oscars.” Jio Studios and Aamir Khan Productions’ ‘Laapataa Ladies,’ directed by Kiran Rao, has won the hearts of the audience with its interesting story and humor. A user said on X- “Kiran Rao’s Lapata Ladies, India’s official entry to the Oscars and projected as an original work, actually seems heavily inspired by a 2019 short film titled Burqa City.” He added, “Kiran Rao made Lapata Ladies, with the same theme, replacing burqas with ghoonghats. Even the Ravi Kishan police station scene seems heavily inspired.” One wrote- “It screams duplicity and sad to see copied/ inspired work like Laapataa Ladies presented as original for the Oscars.” The comment added, “They also conveniently shifted from a Muslim to Hindu context in India just to fit a narrative feels disingenuous and unfair.” Another said, “Laapataa Ladies or Burqa City ka desi cousin? Bollywood originality or just ‘inspired’ storytelling?” Presented by Jio Studios, ‘Laapataa Ladies’ is directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande.
