'Laapataa Ladies' in the centre of plagiarism row
Gulf News
|April 04, 2025
Several social media users have pointed out similarities with 2019 Arabic short film, 'Burqa City'
Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies, which was India's official entry to Oscars 2025, is reportedly at the centre of a plagiarism row.
Several social media users have pointed out similarities between Laapataa Ladies and the 2019 Arabic short film, Burqa City.
Directed by Fabrice Bracq, Burqa City is a 19-minute satirical film set in the Middle East. It follows a newlywed man who mistakenly takes home the wrong woman due to identical burqas, leading to a mix-up that explores themes of patriarchy, gender-based restrictions, and the erasure of women's identities.
