Great message. Good Rom com
I liked how they put together features of traditional Bollywood films and a modern sensitive topic that remains a taboo across India. Definitely a brave attempt from the cast and crew. The climax was however very typical and predictable. I hoped for a more realistic climax. It seemed very rushed although the movie wasn't that long compared to a lot of Bollywood films. However the acting was great from its cast. The film was quite heartwarming and inspiring. It definitely send the message it intended to. The romantic arc was beautiful. The song was fantastic. Overall an interesting romantic comedy drama film.
an unconventional film
If u r a parent n ur daughter falls in love with a girl, please ensure that she gets ur wholehearted love n support. Dont let her isolate herself. Dont let her diary become her best companion. Dont let her marry a man just to make u happy. Dont ask 'samaj kya kahega'. The makers of #EkLadkiKoDekhaToAisaLaga need to be applauded for making an unconventional film. But the entire first half is wasted in trying to narrate a regular love story. A bolder script wouldve worked wonders. Music is bad. Rating 3/5.
A brave attempt on an unconventional plot
The title is based on a song of Anil Kapoor in 1942 a love story where he is besotted by the beautiful heroine. Ironically here his daughter Sonam feels that way towards another girl. Yes this movie is an attempt to deal with same gender love though in a perfunctory manner. A simple film which is quite entertaining.
India needs More Movies like This with A list Cast
With gay rights on its front steps, it is amazing to see A list cast of Bollywood step up to its responsibilities n this extremely believable story. Must watch
