The trailer of Kiran Rao’s latest directorial Laapataa Ladies was dropped recently. It gave a glimpse into the roller coaster ride of a ‘lost bride’. The makers released the first single from the film titled, Doubtwa, which seems to provide more insight.
The song
The first single Doubtwa gives a broader perspective on the narrative. Sung by Sukhwinder Singh, the song has music by Ram Sampath and lyrics by Divyanidhi Sharma. In the lyrical video, a policeman played by Ravi Kishan can be seen doing his best to uncover the mystery of a lost bride, with his suspicion on a woman from the village. However, despite his best efforts, the bride always seems two steps ahead even as he follows her.
About Laapataa Ladies
The trailer showed how a man unveiled his wife in front of his family and village folk, only to realise it’s the wrong bride he’s got home. Somewhere else, we see another man file an FIR at a police station for his missing wife, to a suspecting and sarcastic police officer, played by Ravi.
Laapataa Ladies stars Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava, Ravi and Chhaya Kadam in lead roles.
