Earlier, producer and film business expert, on 'Laapataa Ladies', Girish Johar said, ''It's very niche and nuanced film and definitely there is an awareness about it. They plan to build the film on the word of mouth. I will be happy if the film opens in anywhere around Rs 1-2 crore and then it will built up accordingly.''
