The trailer of Kiran Rao's directorial comeback, Laapataa Ladies, is out today. Welcome to the world of Deepak Kumar (Sparsh Shrivastav) the groom, who loses his wife on the way back home. Deepak Kumar, who gets married to Phool (Nitanshi Goel), brings Pushpa Rani (Pratibha Ranta) instead home with him. As Deepak's mother asks the bride to lift her ghoongta (veil), the sky falls on the groom's family - the bride gets replaced. Will Deepak find his bride? The search begins. Deepak lodges a complaint in the local police station. When the inspector asks for the lost bride's picture, Deepak hands him over the only picture he has - in which the bride's face is hidden under a veil. Has Pushpa Rani come to Deepak's house by mistake? The police have an inkling that she has a hidden motive. Will she find her way? We have to wait for the answers till the film gets released in theatres in March.
