Welcome to the Laapataa Ladies Met Gala 2024 pageant. As the film continues to garner praise following its premiere on the massive streaming service Netflix, Aamir Khan Productions, one of the producers of Kiran Rao’s highly regarded film Laapataa Ladies, made a humorous remark on Instagram.
The post includes a photo of Phool (played by Nitanshi Goel in the movie) looking like her character while standing on the iconic staircase of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, New York (where the annual fundraising event Met Gala takes place).

The image has been artificially altered. The production company captioned the photo they shared, writing, “Our Phool blossoming in the garden of time.” Just so you know, the dress code for this year’s Met Gala was “The Garden of Time” and the subject was Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
The publicity strategy was effective, as comments on the post were immediately made on the Internet. A user wrote, “I finally watched it, I laughed, got teary-eyed. It was worth it.” Another user commented, “Isse kehte hai content.” The third user commented, “Hahah love it”. Forth user commented, “When content and cast speak louder than anything. Loved watching the film.”
Artists like Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Karan Johar have already shown their appreciation for the movie.
Starring in Kiran Rao’s ‘Laapataa Ladies’ are Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Ravi Kishan, Sparsh Shrivastava, and Chhaya Kadam. The movie effectively challenges the patriarchal restrictions that force women to become housewives and limit their ambitions.
Saibal Chatterjee, a film critic for NDTV, gave Laapataa Ladies 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, “Adapted from a story by Biplab Goswami and scripted by Sneha Desai (who has also written the dialogues with additional inputs from Divyanidhi Sharma), Laapataa Ladies is a social satire with a pronounced feminist accent that gives the film its rationale.
The film is breezy and light on its feet. It is never, therefore, in danger of being bogged down by the weighty issues that it addresses. Its simple clarion call is in favor of the rights of women who are robbed of their dreams post-marriage, and it is couched in simple methods that do not seek to draw too much attention to themselves.”
