New Delhi:
The trailer of Kiran Rao's directorial comeback Laapataa Ladies is out today. Welcome to the world of Deepak Kumar (Sparsh Shrivastav), the groom who loses his wife on the way home. Deepak Kumar, who marries Phool (Nitanshi Goel), brings home Pushpa Rani (Pratibha Ranta) instead. When Deepak's mother asks the bride to lift her ghoongta (veil), the sky falls on the groom's family – the bride is replaced. Will Deepak find his bride? The search begins. Deepak files a complaint at the local police station. When the inspector asks for the picture of the lost bride, Deepak gives him the only picture he has – in which the bride's face is hidden under a veil. Did Pushpa Rani come to Deepak's house by mistake? Police suspect she has a hidden motive. Will she find her way? We'll have to wait until the film hits theaters in March for answers.
Sharing the trailer, Kiran Rao wrote in the caption, “Ghunghat uth chuke hain. #LaapataaLadies trailer is out!” Take a look:
