"Saw the very big hearted and moving Laapata Ladies. Sometimes all that is needed is simplicity and clarity. This film is that. I went in expecting more and finished with more than it apparently delivers. It is old fashioned in a good way and modern in a very invisible manner. It is deceptively simple in its treatment and humour," Hansal Mehta had tweeted.

Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna starrer Animal, on the other hand, had many celebs calling out the film for its patriarchal and toxic portrayal of love.
