Kiran Rao's comedy film 'Laapataa Ladies', which premiered in India in March 2024, is set to release in Japan on October 4, 2024, after a successful run both in theaters and on OTT platforms, earning over 17 million views on Netflix. The film, featuring Nitanshi Goel and Pratibha Ranta, follows the humorous misadventures of two brides who become separated on a train. Rao, an admirer of Japanese cinema, expressed her excitement, calling the release a 'full-circle moment' and hoping the film's emotional core resonates with Japanese audiences. She sees this international release as a significant milestone that showcases how cinema can bridge cultural gaps. The film has been well-received in India but was financially unsuccessful at the box office, earning only 21 crores. 'Laapataa Ladies' is produced under the banners of Jio Studios and Aamir Khan Productions.
