'Laapataa Ladies' gained popularity after OTT release
Laapataa Ladies had a modest box office performance when it was initially released in theaters earlier this year. However, it gained considerable popularity following its release on the OTT platform Netflix a few months later. The film's screening at the Supreme Court today is a significant achievement for this cult classic directed by Rao.
