Laapataa Ladies Box Office Report – Kiran Rao’s movie day 1 collection sees a slow start!

March 1 marked the release of Laapataa Ladies, a film produced by Jio Studios, Kindling Pictures, and Aamir Khan Productions. The Bollywood film brought in ₹65 lakh. On September 8, the film debuted as Lost Ladies at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Robyn Citizen, TIFF’s Director of Festival Programming and Cinematheque, wrote, “Lost Ladies initially feels like a colourful heist movie, with a tinkling, hummable score. But it gradually transcends this conceit, offering clever commentary in the farce of patriarchal matrimony and its stifling demands on women.”

Citizen added, “Rao’s charming, whimsical hoot unravels its intricate web of kinships with a surprising depth and an endearing hilarity. It is effervescently filmed with an impressive ensemble cast. Lost Ladies is a multifaceted story that is both a feminist coming-of-age drama and a comedy of errors,”

According to Sacnilk, the Kiran Rao-directed movie Laapata Ladies brought in ₹ 65 lakhs India net on its opening day. On Friday, Laapataa Ladies’ Hindi occupancy rate was 8.12% overall. At the box office, the movie competed with Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya’s Dune: Part Two. According to Sacnilk, the morning shows had a 7.55% occupancy rate, afternoon shows had a 7.91% occupancy rate, and evening shows had the highest occupancy rate at 8.90%.

The story of two brides who become separated on a train trip and embark on a convoluted journey is told in this rural India-set movie. Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions are the joint producers of the movie. Starring in the movie are Ravi Kishan, Pratibha Ranta, Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastava, and Chhaya Kadam.

In contrast to the women in her films, Kiran asserts that she was fortunate enough to be born into a progressive family, finish her higher education, pursue the career of her dreams, get married in the direction of her own desires, and choose to get a divorce whenever she felt like it. She said, “I feel very out of place in this kind of world in many ways. However, I’m surrounded by women and their struggles, whether they be from my family, my workplace, my cousins, or people I’ve met in the film industry. Kiran remarked, “I’ve heard stories of women who really had to fight to get what they wanted.”
