Laapataa Ladies Faces Plagiarism Allegations Over Similarities to Burqa City

Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies, one of last year’s biggest hits and India’s official entry for the Oscars, has now found itself in the midst of controversy. Allegations have surfaced claiming that the film was copied from the 2019 Arabic short film Burqa City.

A viral clip from Burqa City—which follows a newlywed man searching for his wife after she is mistakenly swapped with another woman in a burqa—bears striking similarities to Laapataa Ladies. The Arabic film serves as a satire on patriarchal norms that obscure women’s identities, a theme echoed in Kiran Rao’s film, where burqas are replaced with ghoonghats.

The resurfaced footage has sparked a heated debate on originality and creative integrity, with many questioning whether the similarities are mere coincidence or intentional. The controversy continues to gain traction, leaving audiences divided.
