Laapataa Ladies receives rave reviews from Japanese audience: 'A masterpiece as expected'

Japan Audiences’ Overwhelming Response on Laapataa Ladies

Aamir Khan Productions' Laapataa Ladies, directed by Kiran Rao, has recently hit theaters in Japan, following its remarkable journey to the Oscars, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. This comedy-drama, which delves into themes of identity, empowerment, and modern relationships, has struck a chord with Japanese audiences since its release.

Netizens have taken to social media to share their reactions. One viewer tweeted, “#花嫁はどこへ? It was really good. It's only 124 minutes long, so you can watch it quickly." Another user expressed their enthusiasm, writing, “I went with great enthusiasm on the first day it was released. It was a wonderful movie and it really moved me. I want to watch it again! It was a good morning #花嫁はどこへ #朝活."

Another tweet read, “Watched``#シビル・ウォー #アメリカ最後 の日". I didn't know this until I watched it, so I was surprised to find out it was an A24 production, but once I watched it, it all made sense! This was pretty amazing! The way the two perspectives coexist and then are reversed due to a certain trigger is extremely shocking. Up until that point, the work itself is somewhat slow, and the parts before and after are like completely different works."

The emotional resonance of the film was captured in another fan's comment: "One worrying event after another occurs, but there is a comforting feeling as if a parent is telling the child (through the story) that as long as they have faith in people, everything will be okay, that the world is not such a terrible place, and that one day they too will be tossed about by the rough waves of life, but that everything will be okay. 『#花嫁はどこへ?』"

The movie has also received praise for its nuanced portrayal of female characters. A fan wrote, "The story is wonderful in that the switched brides each grasp various things and bring about changes in themselves and the women around them through small interactions. I would like to recommend this work to many people I also recommend the pamphlet that contains detailed information about the bride's dowry and other circumstances (the binding is cute and the content is rich). This is a quick report without any spoilers. #花嫁はどこへ感想."
