Kiran Rao’s second directorial ’Laapataa Ladies' was released in theatres in March this year and is among the defining films of the year. While the film might not have given the numbers at the box office that will label it a blockbuster, the film sure has won hearts and continues to reach people across the country and outside through its recent Netflix release. The narrative, intent, and characters are the strong points of the film that have made a mark in the hearts of the audience.

Writer Sneha Desai who is credited for the screenplay and dialogues of the film is more than elated with the response to the film. While the role of credit often comes up for artists who operate behind the camera, Desai has had a largely positive experience. She says that she has had a great experience in the past and with 'Laapataa Ladies', it has only further cemented that belief.  “I also feel that as writers, we need to ask ourselves, 'are we also making enough?' Most of the films that we see don't induce a single wow moment at times. There are no well-crafted hooks or scenes that the audience takes back and has time to reflect on or remembers for a very long time. So, if we are not crafting good stuff, it is not fair to expect the audience to remember us. Write such great stuff that people are compelled to ask 'who wrote this?'"
