I'm bawling my eyes out!! Literally everything about this movie is sheer perfection. I cannot believe I lost the opportunity to watch this movie in theaters my deepest apologies to the everyone. This movie is a gem which I will keep safe for all my life. Thankyou bollywood for giving us this amazing story about,family, friendship, acceptance, inspiration and most importantly LOVE. I will never be able to get over the fact that bollywood owns such a beautiful LGBTQ+ movie. Also, EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH IT.
I'm so soft for the kind of bond they've shown between these two. It's so rare and beautiful. Also,the fact the it had so many mainstream actors just blows my mind. ALSO!!
LOOK AT SWEETY'S FACE LIGHTING UP THE MOMENT SHE REALIZES WHO'S BEHIND HER! SO FREAKING BEAUTIFULLY DONE! Take a bow Sonam.
10/10 would recommend it to everyone.
Also, Regina's got my whole heart. I could totally see why Sweety fell for her. JUST LOOK AT HER!!
💕

“I’ve had enough! Marry Pankaj. Marry the Muslim man. Marry the Banihal App guy. My head’s about to explode! Brother Babloo lied to everyone that I have a Muslim boyfriend. I have no Muslim Boyfriend. Forget Muslim, I have no boyfriend whatsoever. Why does everyone have a one-track mind? Is it necessary; that I fall in love with a man?... I love a girl!”
- Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019)
