Film being used as a vehicle to incite change is a tale as old as time, and it is that very concept that titan of Indian cinema Aamir Khan, prolific director Kiran Rao, who has returned to the helm after over a decade, and producer Jyoti Deshpande have revived in their latest film Lost Ladies (Laapataa Ladies). The film captures the story of two brides who are accidentally mixed up on a train journey to their respective villages. What ensues thereafter is a journey of these two women simultaneously finding themselves as they wait to be found. A powerful narrative of female empowerment, the two brides are forced to question the only way of life they have ever known and ultimately find new courage to dream and challenge the deep-rooted patriarchal status quo.
