I am a movie buff and like to watch a lot of movies. I used to go to the movie theaters and watch most movies on the big screen. But recently, streaming platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Hoster, etc. have such a huge collection of movies. Therefore, once in a blue moon, I go to the movie theaters. Most movies get released in theaters first and about two months later they come on the platforms. Recently, I watched a movie on Netflix called La Patta Ladies. Netflix usually releases movies on Friday and it was the perfect way to enjoy my weekend with my family. We ordered dinner from our favorite place and decided to watch this movie. This movie is the story of two newly-wed brides who get exchanged during a train ride to their husband’s house. It shows the funny and chaotic situations that happen as the families and police try to find the missing woman. I really liked that. It explores themes like gender roles, marriage, tradition, and societal expectations in a humorous manner. I watched this movie because I really liked the trailer. Also, this movie is directed by Kiran Rao and this is her second movie as a director. I loved her first movie and also some other movies in which she was the assistant director. Amir Khan was co-produced this movie and he has always been my favorite actor. I knew anything coming from him would be good. The main actors in the movie are all newcomers and I had no idea about them before I watched this movie. All of them impressed me with their acting skills. I wish more directors would make movies like this in the future.
