On Friday, in New Delhi, there was a special event at the Supreme Court. Hindi film star Aamir Khan was present to witness the proceedings of the Chief Justice of India's courtroom. This was in preparation for the screening of his latest film, Laapata Ladies, for the judges.
Khan joined the top court during a hearing on promoting women in the armed forces. The three-judge bench, led by CJI DY Chandrachud and including Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, welcomed the veteran actor. He was seated in a special visitor gallery in courtroom 1.
Even the Attorney General R Venkataramani, who was appearing virtually, couldn't help but comment on the star-studded court. In a lighthearted manner, he noted that there were quite a few big names present.
Later in the evening, as part of the 75th anniversary celebrations of the Supreme Court, the film Laapata Ladies was screened in the court's auditorium. The movie, which was produced by Aamir Khan and directed by his ex-wife Kiran Rao, explores the theme of gender equality. Both Khan and Rao were also present for the screening.
A notice was issued by the apex court the previous day, announcing the screening and inviting the officials of the Registry to attend. Laapata Ladies, which was released on March 1, tells the story of two newly-wed brides who get switched while on a train ride to their husbands' homes.
The movie has been well-received by both men and women, with its insightful portrayal of various aspects of our society, including policies, media, art, and organizations that prioritize women's voices and concerns. It is a timely and important film that sheds light on the issue of gender equality.
