Why Our Drama Makers Need To Watch Laapataa Ladies | Abrar's Movie With Katrina | Heeramandi Cast 

The best part of Laptaa ladies was that Phool’s husband Deepak never lost his trust and faith in her! Never thought OMG, raat bar wapis nahi ayi tu meri Izzat kharab hogye! Even his family never thought that way!

Aamna and Hasan , you haven't noticed that Laapata ladies story is set in early 90s it's not today's India . Just for your information .

Also India is producing raw stories. Normal routine stories but with fresh perspectives. TVF and Amazon prime is creating amazing content. Panchayat series and Gullak is my All-time favourite. Feel good series 😊

PHOOL (flower) PUSHPA (flower) Deepak's village: SOORAJMUKHI (A flower) The bus Deepak takes to his village: PUSHPA TRAVELS (Flower) Flower: A symbol of tenderness, innocence or purity. This symbol of innocence and purity is spread throughout the village life in the film. Phool's husband: DEEPAK (lamp/ a source of light) Pushpa's husband: PRADEEP (lamp/ a source of light) A lamp can either guide you through darkness or it can burn you. Deepak is a guiding force, a ray of hope for both Phool and Pushpa in their darkest times. While Pradeep burnt his ex-wife to death. (One lamp showed the way, the other burnt down a life) Pushpa's real name: JAYA (victorious) Jaya is a rebel at heart. But, because of the social and gender expectations, she is forced to be soft, and tender like a flower (PUSHPA). Jaya especially mentions the dish made of lotus stems. She consumes a dish made of flowers (Kamal Kakdi). She symbolically consumes her tenderness her softness, and the flowery side of her character. She rebels against the social norms and expectations such as taking her husband's name and running away from her marriage to pursue her education. She strives to be VICTORIOUS. Name of the police officer: SHYAM MANOHAR SHYAM: Dark, Black (one name of Lord Krishna) MANOHAR: Lovable, one who wins our heart (another name of Lord Krishna) In the first part of the movie Shyam Manohar is shown as corrupt, and a greedy officer. Showing the dark side of his character. Thus, he is SHYAM. In the second half, Shyam Manohar wins our hearts by taking the right step by saving Jaya from her husband. Thus, he becomes MANOHAR. This shows the dual nature of power and judiciary. It can be dark and mischievous but it can also be very beautiful. These are some interesting things I observed after watching the film. This is a purely subjective observation and can vary from person to person. A story based on 2001 time period and the movie raise issue of 2024 village problem of India.

Completely resonating with aamna on Laapata ladies. We have become so habituated to witness the worst from characters in movies, to the point where we no longer expect a kind/good-hearted/pure gesture from characters in the first place. LL was such a breath of fresh air, such a feel-good watch. Left me with a restored faith in the goodness of society.

41:10 Reg Laapata Ladies, the story is set in 2001 which is mentioned in opening credits. The phone model is old, Ravi Kishan's character takes pictures with a roll camera, policemen communicate via fax and the train coaches were made to look like the old models in India as they have changed significantly in past 20 years.

Difference is Pakistan took China's help to send the satellite on Moon. India's recent mission was indigenous.

The movie is in the year 2001. There is a scene where the grandfather is listening to a match where Harbhajan Singh is bowling

Star of the movie LL was the police officer.😂

Pakistani people often compare India's worst content to their best. However, the reality is that both countries have their own unique qualities, and we don't need to compare anyone to anyone else. Instead, we can simply enjoy what we like, and if we don't like something, we can choose not to watch it. Let's avoid making unfair assumptions and focus on appreciating our own strengths. We are capable of greatness in our own ways.

Laapataa Ladies!!! Its a commendable film. Kiran Rao and her cast have done such a fabulous job. Saw it in the theatre and I would watch it again any day.

Heeramandi is a crashing bore…what an anticlimax! Laapata Ladies has shown that a movie can hit you in all the right places without huge budgets and manicured sets. Kiran Rao trumps Bhansali…and how😊

Well, I must admit, this movie took me completely by surprise, in the best way possible. Other than a small clip I saw of Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao talking about casting, I had not heard anything about it. Then, on a lazy Sunday last week, while casually browsing Netflix, I stumbled upon its thumbnail. Remembering that clip, I figured I'd give it a shot. Started watching it without any expectations, but man, was I hooked! The story just reels you in, and before I knew it, I was glued to the screen till the credits rolled. Every aspect, from the plot to the storytelling to the performances, was remarkable. It's definitely a movie worth recommending to anyone looking for something good to watch!

India sent a lander on moon only the 4th country to do so. not a satellite !! India has launched 431 satellites for 34 countries

Lapatta Ladies is an extra ordinate movie. Just loved the concept and how they focus on change. One has to work & move towards this kind of cinema which is progressive and so well done!

Amna didn’t watch Ibrar-ul-Haq’s interview, didn’t watch Afreen Afridi’s video. But still this did not stop her from calling Afridi’s video a photo op and branding Ibrar’s comment as boosting. Being a journalist, she should, at least, do her research before making a judgment and sharing her opinion.

One more thing I don’t like about Pak drama if ladies is out for one night izzat chali gayi 😡

Lapata Ladies has a beautiful story, excellent direction, and outstanding performances. We need such directories and storywriters who can create such beautiful films.

Laapata ladies should be praised very high. It's not only indian society, but it's all about South Asian. It's a cinematic excellence by kiran rao.

Assuming someone is praying for show undermines the essence of faith and the sincerity of individuals' beliefs. As Muslims, it's imperative to give each other the benefit of the doubt and refrain from passing judgment. Only the Almighty truly knows the intentions of the heart. Let's foster a community of understanding and compassion rather than suspicion and cynicism. Just because u guys have a platform to speak does not mean u can come say anything about anyone. I have seen Shaheens's interviews and he does not come off as a pretender. Allah knows best!

The world is different these days. Constant content and posts are being generated about a myriad of things, good and bad. For a young famous athlete to post content showing him practicing his deen is commendable despite whatever few negative implications may be wrapped up in the production of such content. We should appreciate such posts and such athletes that keep it positive when they can surely do so much worse. As people of pre internet generations I can understand cringing a little when seeing what could be contrived righteousness, but the impact these posts have on the youth is priceless. They don’t cringe, they couple manliness with God consciousness, fame with humility, strength with discipline. All incredibly important lessons

Offering prayer isnt a show off or display of religiosity.Does Saheen need such tactics for popularity????

Does Shaheen Shah Afreedi need likes? Why are you guys looking at it so negatively? He is a superstar and if he is praying namaz he is giving a good signal to the younger lot - would you be ok if he posts a picture dancing in a disco ? Would you negatively comment on that too? I guess not. Showing that you pray is giving a good signal to the youth - his intention he knows - why are you assuming ?

Aamna saying she doesnt like people who display their religiosity and then saying she will post her picture at Umra is sending mixed messages. Display of OTHER people's religiosity, not your own , in an attempt to encourage religiosity and normalising namaz on the street is beneficial. And no it is not better to not pray or pray inside the car because footpaths are dirty. This is what prayer mats are for, to make the prayer spot paak.

Talking Idhara-udhar ki batein jyada. India has changed a lot since 2000.

Laapata ladies is a movie of women empowerment. Proud to be Indian women.

Thank you for this gracious review of Laapata Ladies. Have sent this link to Kiran Rao and she watches every review. I head the film content at Jio Studios and was amongst the first people to view and be amazed by this small film with such a large heart. Thank you Aamna & Hasan. I follow most of your reviews ❤️

After listening to such a positive review and comments, I’ll definitely watch Laapata Ladies! I would also recommend film ‘Dor’, a bollywood film starring Ayesha Takia and Gul Panag. It almost 20 years old I guess but one of the best films on women empowerment and strength. It was released when feminism was not a household name. I’m sure you guys will love it!

Not a fan of Abrar per se, but when Billo first came out, he was huge. Hes one of those people who made Punjabi music hip. His music was everywhere at one point. The way people trolled him, especially Mishi Khan who has never done anything notable herself, was deplorable.

This is the new contemporary narration of story. 12 fail and laapata ladies. Though story is typical and heard before but the story board and scene connection is so accurate.

You have to give it to amna for a person who claims to be journalist she did little to no investigation on who were the people involved with the space project and used her inherit bias to project her anger at a project which was lead by students of a local engineering university at little to no cost. Amna really needs to address her bias and maybe invest a little time on research before trashing the hard work of students who have nothing to do with political affiliations she or anyone has, why should you be happy or applaud these kids or the project because someone else kids is achieving things that will help them in future typical desi behaviour .

Lapata ladies ne society ki hypocrisy ko jo bhigo bhigo ke tappad mara hai lajawab❤ I m started watching old dramas like daam,duaraha,rehae becuase no gd content now neither in india or pakistan

Sapne dekhne keliye sorry Nahi bolte heartwarming dialog in laapata ladies.

As an Indian, it was very interesting to see that you guys also feel the same for your content, while here in India, we look up to a lot of your dramas, we absolutely love the authentic manner Pakistani dramas portray daily life. It was surprising to see that you guys consider your content as subpar.

I feel so glad that you guys spoke about Lapata ladies It's one of the best movies of 2024❤

If Abrar hadn’t mentioned Katrina then people would’ve said he’s making things up. Either ways he would’ve been trolled because people these days have nothing better to do! Abrar-ul-Haq doesn’t need name dropping to elevate his status. He has been a household name for years now.

Heeramandi is overly hyped but laapata ladies is amovie which will make you feel much better after watching it❤

Hats 🎩 off to Aamna and Hasan for reviewing Lapaata Ladies, regular viewer of your show and get immense knowledge and fair feedback on Drama,s Being Indian I watch Pakistani Dramas, Talents has no Borders, my Favourite are Nauman Ijaz, Bilal Abbas, Fawad Khan, Mahira, Saba, Durre, Yumna, many more singers like Aatif Aslam, are the best in the World , earlier Pakistani Stories has good and deep understanding of Our surroundings, but lately Production Houses are hell bent on destroying the whole story in Climax like Tere Bin, Ishq Murshed, no need to drag these series to a level where viewers level are tested, about Shaheen Afridi offering Namaz Ina Parking is avoidable religion is a private affair of a person, no need to show off, Rizwan do regularly on the field which is not required

If it’s in a bad taste for someone to stage a photo op of himself offering salah, then it’s equally (if not more) in a bad taste to comment on someone’s niyat behind offering salah. Also, intentionally making your namaaz qaza and doing your namaaz while sitting in a car (not facing kabah and with wrong postures) is no way better or preferred in Islam than offering it on a pavement over a jay-e-namaaz.

Amna is wrong in shaheen's case. He is offering namaz at rest area. And he is paped So what amna is saying that wo namaz na prhta , qaza kr deta??? I respect you guys both but Still today you guys are wrong N he is paped at Rest area ( qiyam o tayam)

Never pass a comment on someone religious practice because u dont know what Allah’s know.

Also one point you guys missed out on the story of Lapata ladies is based on 90s india not today's India

12 th fail and lapta lady both movies are top class

I wish ke hamary Pakistan film makers bhi kuch seekhy in se like what a beautiful film I watch movie after sooo long and Laapata ladies just love it no words ❤

LOVE the intro today! I was having a horrible day and this really cheered me up❤

Agreed with hassan. Atleast do appreciate the positive things about our country. Yeah there are multiple issues but sometimes we should highlight positive aspects as well.

Aamna’s kurta is so soothing to the eyes….looks like a very fine print on the kurta, nice summery color and breezy fit ❤❤

Lapata ladies 2001 ke story h jab Nokia mobile the bho bhi expenses or rere the 😂😂😂

Thank you Hassan that you mentioned about Pakistan moon landing. My nephew is part of that university as well .. BTW Amna... Sad to hear about your review on this achievement.

What's up with Amna today? Could only handle the first 8 mins of the show today.

Delighted by your review of Lapataa Ladies. Thanks a lot.

Let the lady speak more, her thoughts are immensely refreshing. Very soothing personality. ❤️

👋Laapta ladies storyline based in 2000-01 India.

The best thing I like in this movie is that it's so clean, no bad language, nudity, abuse or LGBT which bollywood is full with nowdays. Hope this sets a trend now of clean movies.

In a world where everyone is dancing and making reels everywhere there is absolutely nothing wrong with a video of a man praying.

We see people praying in parks, malls and everywhere in GCC and this is very normal. Why these people are getting triggered by a person who is simply praying. Very disappointing Amna and Hassan. You guys should stick to reviews of dramas/movies only and leave people who follow their religion alone.

So refreshing to see your unbiased review…haven’t seen it so far but will do it right away ❤

Don't compare guys its not good for system criticism is good on content but comparison is a kill of an art .

Loved laapata ladies🤍

I really like the way Hassan enjoying amna's ghussa😂😂😂

18:27 Hajj and umrah are a communal form of worship, very once in a lifetime opportunities for lots of people, they're not a regular form of worship. People post pictures to share their joy of reaching that milestone or achieving that dream. That's different.

Agreed! Laptaa ladies was a great watch! Loved it.

Fortunately it’s a new world where Laapata Ladies outshined SLB’s Heera Mandi ❤

What a beautiful review of a beautiful film...thanks Aamna n Hassan...❤

Vo Stories 2000 k aspas me set ki gyi hai present day India itna peechhe nhi hai 😅

Abrar was offered a role with Katrina and he declined, what a Joke 😂😂😂

*Pakistani P.R Agencies are Notorious for Suggesting Pakistani Artists to Falsely Use Indian References to Boost Their Image* *It's Highly Unprofessional, But This Behaviour is Apt for People Like Pakistanis, Where Laws Mean Nothing*

The movie is set in 2001. That explains the old Nokia phone, cinema hall movie poster and cricket commentary.

I really like this lady Amana..so so dignified.I really hope all Pakistani are so dignified like her. Also I would like to mention to this host that all Pakistani actors are not famous , apart from Fawad and Atif Aslam we hardly know any other actors! There is so much content in OTT platform! There is also no time ! 😊 Kaunsa kab dekhe ! But I simply love this guest in your show..will certainly watch her wherever she is as a guest!

Amna kissi or hi zone mai hai aaj😂

Ayeza ne sanjay leela bhansali ki offer ka nhi bataya tha Ahsan ne zikr kiya jispe usne clarification di thi lkn Imran apne har interview mn 10 saal se 1 hi baat ka ghasita lagay ja raha jisko yakeen karna bhi hoga woh bhi kahage k yeh project ki popularity cash karana cha raha hai. Simple

Loved Lapata Ladies Thanks for your amazing review

I was waiting so eagerly for your review on Lapata Ladies

Omg Amna i love you and hassan😅😅never enjoyed the show that much before....Amna's frustrating mood has a great vibe and Hassan's caring mood is infatuating😊😊

Eagerly waiting for this one 🫀♥️

On the issue of Lapata, in an industry that churns out thousands of movies a year, only a few are progressive and well produced. Similarly, in an industry that produces hundreds of dramas a year, there will be a few good dramas, such as Stand Up, Breaking News, Razia, etc. You folks are a little harsh when it comes to your own industry.

We should also appreciate characters like deepak. They give us a hope that men like him still exist. Calm and simple ❤️ so unlike the toxic men in our dramas

Totally loved the podcast specially Aamna mam's perspective!

Thankyou for reviewing laapata ladies ❤

Saheen shah is not putting out or showing off religion. As u know salat is obligatory and has to be performed within a time frame,if is not near by a mosque one will say his prayers wherever he find space. Its a common practice here in middle east, v c so many ppl praying in different spots that doesnt mean they r showing off their religion. Saheen was doing the same, someone made a video as he is a celebrity. The video would have been made even if he was not praying i guess.

You can also watch panchayat series its tvf series and its really so good ......❤

Laapata ladies was the best film of till now ❤

Aamna your clarity of thought is outstanding !!! I love the way you talk !!! God bless you !!!🎉🎉🎉

Lapaata ladies: a correction that jaya didnt know it was wrong man . When deepak' mother ask ghunghat se joota ahi dekha she replied naya rishta naya joota

This is in 2001 the lapata ladies

Saw it and loved it!

Amna you are love.. each of your comment and this mood is awesome wow…

Aamna, I agree with you regarding Lapata Ladies. Superb. First I have seen in Cinema. Then in Netflix.

Lapata ladies is an eye opener for the viewer ...my favourite part is where Dadi says Women are complete in their own self.

Amina in USA there r not always place to pray when there is namaz time so we sometimes pray between our car doors so that we won’t miss our prayers.

Rakesh Sharma was the 1st Indian to land on the moon in 1984

I was dreading a long drive home then I saw notification of your new video. :) The boring journey became a fun journey😊 like being on road trip with two friends 😄 Love from Toronto

I agree with you Amna on offering namaz on pavements. Here someone commented that it’s common in West, though it’s not. We should respect our religion & not display on pavements or anywhere like that. I feel one should find an appropriate spot or pray qaza. Here is West, many broken laws and even put theirs or others lives in danger too like that. I noticed we’re not mindful of our surroundings. Now, in West, workplaces or managements etc even ask to provide appropriate place to pray so it’s safe and respectful. Religion is V easy, I personally feel some people complicate it & use religion for attention.

Never thought of it that way Aamna, she finds her voice ❤

I fully concur with Hassan. As a Muslim Indian residing in the USA for the past two decades, I have a deep appreciation for Pakistani dramas. However, upon observing their content, I find myself inadvertently forming judgments about Pakistani culture and its people. It seems to reflect a sense of insecurity that I didn't experience to the same extent in India. It saddens me to see Muslims portrayed in this manner. I've always believed in the strength of our faith, hamara strong Imaan hota hai khaufe khuda hota hai, but the content often contradicts these values, leaving me disheartened. lapata ladies and 12th fail are amazing movies..

plz do a full review on heeramandi..what is the reality and what has been shown

I think The man is simply prioritizing his faith . Praying namaz like this is very common here in the west. And is often more convenient to pray it outdoors in the open

You missed the name of Salma Aaga.. it goes back .. nice respectful discussion, first time I watched it. Subscribed to the channel. Love from India 😊

Lolx intro good hai. Aamna is pissed, i have those days too 😅😂

Lapata ladies was set up in 90s. It is not present hence the Nokia phones. It was shown at the very beginning
