    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

    Excellent movie

    Kudos to the director and the cast for doing this movie. I am hoping this will set the stage for future LGBT movies in Indian cinema. An important message well conveyed in a light hearted manner with a good mix of emotions and comedy. I am glad they made this about love and kept it classy. They introduced a sense of normalcy to this very taboo topic in India. Hopefully the hearts and minds of people will change after watching this very important movie. Juhi Chawla was a delight to watch and she added the much needed lightness and humor to a very heavy subject.

    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.

    joyful

    So lovely, so innocent, feelgood and fresh! Often homosexual stories are depressed in nature, but this one is exception, it has a joyful vibes. Kudos to the makers. Music is also pleasuring, especially the title song. I really love all the roles Sonam played on screen with her high-school girl like cuteness! Sonam's lover played by Regina Cassandra has a very limited appearances but she still could steal Sonam's thunder, such a lovely face she has!

    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.
