The film 'Laapataa Ladies' was directed by Kiran Rao and it received a lot of appreciation from the audience and critics in 2024. The film also entered the Oscars as India's official entry. But now, a year later, the film is being accused of plagiarism. Social media and Reddit posts are discussing a foreign film 'Burqa City' similar to 'Laapataa Ladies', whose story and scenes are very similar to 'Laapataa Ladies'.

'Burqa City' is a foreign short film released in 2019, which is 19 minutes long. The story of this film is about the Middle East, where a person's new bride is replaced by another woman, because both women wear burqas. This short film was a satire comedy. The story of the film 'Laapataa Ladies' is also almost the same, in which two brides are replaced because they both wear burqas. Apart from this, many issues related to women have also been shown in the film. When 'Laapataa Ladies' was being released, director Anant Mahadevan accused this film of stealing the story. He said that the story of his 1999 film 'Ghunghat Ke Pat Khol' was also based on two brides changing and finding their identity. At that time, Kiran Rao and Aamir Khan remained silent on this issue.

Now, once again the makers of 'Laapataa Ladies' are being accused of stealing the story of a foreign film called 'Burqa City', on which social media users are extremely angry. Many users say that taking inspiration is not a bad thing, but those who have the original idea should have at least given credit. Many users have called this theft of story and scenes extremely disappointing and criticized it as theft. The allegations on the film 'Laapataa Ladies' have created a lot of stir on social media and people are considering it a serious issue.
