Laapataa Ladies earn only ₹38 lakh in its opening days and around ₹17.33 crore after 50 days.
Kiran Rao has openly addressed the disappointing box office performance of her film “Laapataa Ladies,” describing it as a “failure.” The film, made on a budget of approximately ₹20 crore, struggled to attract audiences, earning only ₹38 lakh in its opening days and around ₹17.33 crore after 50 days.
Despite the initial hype, the film’s theatrical run failed to meet expectations, leading Rao to reflect on the challenges faced.
However, Rao remains optimistic about the future. She expressed gratitude for the valuable lessons learned from this experience and acknowledged the film’s better reception on Netflix India, where it was released eight weeks after its theatrical debut.
Rao views this setback as a stepping stone for future projects and emphasizes the importance of resilience and learning in the filmmaking process.
