The makers had undertaken an extensive yet offbeat kind of promotional strategy for the film wherein ‘Laapataa Ladies’ was shown to college students and premiered in smaller cities before the release of the film. And even now, ‘Laapataa Ladies’ has been growing strong only through word of mouth publicity.
