Lara Dutta Bhupathi in the series plays the role of ACP Saumya Shukla and Rinku plays the character of Netra. In the trailer, we can see that ACP Soumya Shukla holds a big position, but describes her job as an ‘Item Girl’ to the department.
On the other hand, Netra is shown as a person who puts everyone’s priority before her own, though she does have dreams of visiting Switzerland. Her life takes a complete turn when she is detected with a tumour and has only 100 days left to live.
After this, the story follows Netra’s life. She is looking for thrills in life and is hired to be an undercover agent by an ambitious ACP Saumya Shukla who is looking for a promotion. As they both unite to accomplish their own goals in 100 days, chaos ensues. (The official synopsis).
The show has been directed by filmmakers Ruchi Narain, Ashutosh Shah and Taher Shabbir. Apart from producing and directing, Shabbir has also co-written the script. Describing the story he said ‘The story is about these two contrasting women. How they come together as a team. The story also deals with all the misogyny surrounding women.” (As published in Koimoi)
Lara described the show as led by a ‘Dysfunctional Jodi’
‘The makers have carefully scripted the show to bring alive action and humour in a very entertaining way. One of the many reasons I chose to do the show is because I have never played a cop on screen. My character is trying hard to survive in a man’s world. She has very interesting dynamics with the people in her life. We see that the more complex is a situation, the more she thrives. She is nothing like me in real life’ she said in a statement as published in Firstpost for the release of the trailer of web series Hundred.
Rinku on the other hand through an Instagram post while releasing the trailer of web series Hundred, described her character’s life as ‘Netra ke sapne toh the Switzerland ke, par zindagi nikli sandaas!’ (Netra dreams to have a dreamy life in Switzerland but it turns out to be as shitty as a toilet).
In a statement published in IndiaToday, Rinku said ‘Hundred is my first ever digital show. It has been a great working experience. This medium is on a boom right now and is one of the major sources of entertainment for most of us in these trying times. It is a pleasure to be a part of this digital world, especially a platform like Hotstar that has such wide reach. What drew me towards the character of Netra is that people will see a new side in each episode’.
Apart from both of them the show also stars Karan Wahi, Sudhanshu Pandey, Parmeet Sethi, Rohini Hattangidi, Arun Nalawde and Makarand Deshpande.
Both Lara and Rinku are doing their digital debut with Hundred and the trailer looks very promising. This mixture of Badass and Bindass will be a treat to watch.

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
