Laapataa Ladies is a light-hearted rural comedy-drama set in Nirmal Pradesh in 2001 where Deepak (Sparsh Shrivastava) and Phool (Nitanshi Goel) are a newly married couple who board a crowded train to Deepak’s village Mukhi. Their compartment has other married couples as well with women clad with faces covered with a veil over their faces. On reaching home Deepak realizes that the woman he has brought is not his wife Phool but a girl who introduces herself as Pushpa Rani (Pratibha Ranta). Phool gets off at another remote station and finds herself lost. She's helped by a midget, Chotu (Satendra Soni) and Manju Maayi (Chhaya Kadam), an elderly woman who runs a tea stall on the platform. Pushpa is kind of adopted by Deepak’s family and well looked after, with the whole family involved in getting her back to her real husband. Deepak meanwhile files a complaint at the nearby police station about his lost wife where police inspector Manohar (Ravi Kishan) starts taking interest in the case and draws some startling conclusions. Will Deepak find his bride and Pushpa her groom or there’s something else to it?
