As a bl watcher I never expected such a masterpiece to be released in India. I have seen a lot of bl's when I saw its trailer I liked it and thought it would be a nicely movie like okaish i never expected it to turn out to be ONE OF MY COMFORT MOVIE AND COUPLE . If I ever feel sad I am sure Amar Prem will make me smile again . I really feel like words are just not enough to praise this movie its just wow I am really speechless . Everything was infinity on 10 , And Aditya Seal (crush) is the cutest and sweetest just mind blowing . I seriously look forward to many more such movies and series (with this couple as well cuties)
Just a suggestion please make a sequal for this and make it a series where they are just being cute , getting married , loving each other , having kids etc etc
SO HAPPY.
While it is admirable to watch an LGBTQ themed film, I felt there was scope for so much more. Casting two appealing actors who are so uncomfortable with being perceived as gay is so deeply unconvincing for the audience. It was after watching this film that I felt that perhaps casting queer characters (who are comfortable with their sexuality) would have made so much of a difference. The vibe between the two protagonists were those of two besties rather than lovers. The embrace, or kiss, if it was one at all, might have passed had it been a pantomime. Certainly not for a film. That the heterosexual kiss was more convincing than the embrace of the two queer men was an absolute shame. The comic elements in the script was what worked well. One moment that stood out for me was the grandmother being accepting of her grand-son-in-law knowing that he too is a child created by God. What we definitely need are films with actors who are comfortable embodying their characters.
I just watched a movie with high hopes, as there are only a few LGBTQ-themed movies in Bollywood. However, I found that the story was lacking in many ways. Two people met by chance at the airport and quickly fell for each other, which felt a bit unrealistic. The portrayal of a gay son and his acceptance by his family in Punjab happened too easily, with minimal drama. The movie included a lot of unnecessary family drama and failed to showcase the actual challenges of being gay in an Indian family. The actors' performances were not great, and it felt like they were just going through the motions without focusing on their characters. I would say it's worth watching once, but it could have been much better if the focus had been on the storyline.
It was a less impactful yet a brave try.. Amar and Prem's romantic and emotional scenes were too bad.. everything is shown too fast and easypeasy unlike in reallife.. i loved they mentioned "who'll be the man" thing. Bee ji's character was so fun..p.s. I was so excited for this movie after songs. I am happy that a full on bollywood vibes with heroes. But i cannot take over ayushman khurana's subh mangal ziyada savdhan. What happened to daar ji?
The movie is entertaining but i thing i would not watch it again as i watch other bls many many times(call me by your name). I really appriciate the makers to pick this step.

Many people are criticising about how they failed as a LGBTQ+ movie , being gay in an Indian family, not showing those moments fully but for me this movie isn't focused on how you face difficulties for being gay in an Indian family or how much you suffer in relationships , it was just a good , romantic , simple movie with just happiness with the purpose to enjoy it with whole heart Although I also feel that everything happened so fast in the movie but as we know India is still trying to make LGBTQ+ projects so we should be patient and enjoy these little projects Personally I enjoyed it so much.
