The film stars Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Dipannita Sharma, and Aditi Sharma. Loosely inspired by the 2006 American film John Tucker Must Die, the screenplay was adapted by Devika Bhagat and Habib Faisal. The film follows a group of women who team up to exact revenge on Ricky Bahl, a smooth-talking con artist who had deceived each of them under different identities. Ladies vs Ricky Bahl was released on 9 December 2011 and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised its stylish presentation, humor, and the chemistry between Singh and Sharma, with particular praise directed towards Chopra's performance. The film also emerged as a commercial success at the box office, grossing ₹84 crore worldwide on a budget of ₹20 crore. At the 57th Filmfare Awards, Parineeti Chopra earned two nominations—Best Supporting Actress and Best Female Debut, winning the latter. She went on to win both categories at the IIFA Awards and the Producers Guild Film Awards, and also received the Best Female Debut award at the Screen Awards, the Stardust Awards and the Zee Cine Awards.
