On the other hand, others claimed that the selection process was biased in favor of hindi films. The claim that the procedure is ambiguous was brought up in a social media post that said, “The fact that LAAPATAA LADIES were selected is evidence of the selection body’s ignorance of what works internationally.” Laapataa Ladies has also been accused of being a replica, with some speculating that it was a 1999 television series Ghoonghat Ke Pat Khol, starring Ananth Mahadevan.
The fact that kiran rao and her group neglected to credit the original work disappointed critics. Some, on the other hand, were happy that Laapataa Ladies—a film that was at least passably good—was selected rather than Animal, Kalki, Chhota Bheem, or chandu Champion. Laapataa Ladies is still representing india at the esteemed Oscars stage in spite of these scandals.
