If you know me enough, you know I have a passion for Hindi films and share my reviews with friends and family. I use LinkedIn sparingly for reviews/ recommendations — for when a film has the ability to impact humanity in a positive way. Admittedly, I’m a little late to experiencing the phenomena ‘Laapataa Ladies’ (meaning Lost Ladies) that has swept the nation, and rightfully so! Team Laapataa Ladies is 100% deserving of the accolades coming it’s way, and I’m sure its making its way to international film festivals so film lovers across the world can enjoy and learn from this gem. The ~120 minutes long film is brimming with life lessons and here are a few (in no particular order) that resonated with me: 1. Self reliance is an underrated superpower. Teach our children, especially our girls to be self reliant. 2. Learn to live happily with your own self. If we learn to do that, life becomes less challenging. 3. Believe in the goodness of humanity. There are more ‘good’ people in the world than we think! 4. There is a difference between sacrifice and lacking courage. Don’t mistake one for the other. 5. Trust is the most valuable thing someone gives to you. Value and guard the trust you receive. I hope you have a chance to watch! 🎬📽️

Kunle Afolayan is widely credited for elevating the quality of Nollywood films and consequently elevating it to the global stage. His films are known for their pristine visuals and rich storytelling, which often stray from classic Nollywood clichés. His standout films include The Figurine (2009), October 1 (2014), and Citation (2020), which explore Nigerian culture and social issues with depth and style. Afolayan is one of those Nollywood filmmakers whose work you can (almost) always count on to be of stellar quality. What African literary or film hero, dead or alive, do you want us to cover next?
