Laapataa Ladies’ has been announced the official entry from India for the Oscars. The film directed by Kiran Rao introduced several new faces on screen and some off the camera as well. It also marked the debut feature film of writer Sneha Desai who adapted a story by Biplab Goswami to the beautiful film that we saw on screen.

Laapata Ladies' stresses on the importance of women’s independence. Beyond box-office numbers, these kind of story telling with a gender lens which makes you mull over the society in general needs to be made again and again.
