Who Ladki hai Kahan:
Directed by: Arshad Syed
Starring: Taapsee Pannu, Pratik Gandhi, Prateik Patil Babbar
Opening on: November 22, 2024
A feminist, wisecracking, kickass cop and a chauvinistic loud-mouthed groom set out on a journey when the latter’s bride runs away from the confines of their garish wedding. Through their investigation, they argue, fight, and are comically at each other’s throats, often berating and judging each other, while unwittingly defying man-woman dynamics, societal norms, and their deep-rooted patriarchal nature. Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan? is a buddy-cop-like action- and adventure-filled caper that sheds light on topical issues while never taking itself seriously, and consequently takes us on a wild ride with this charming, hysterical duo.
