Seeing Sonam Kapoor, a big name Bollywood actress, starring in a movie centered around a wlw relationship is so incredible. You don’t see leading Bollywood actresses taking roles like these. So I truly do applaud her. It takes courage, especially since homophobia is still prevalent in the public masses in India. Unfortunately, there will be some backlash against the movie, but I truly hope it does well in the box office. This is a massive step forward for the lgbt community in India (and south Asia!). And this is the representation that was very much needed and I am so, so glad that it is finally here and is in mainstream Bollywood. Furthermore, I am so happy to see that her father, not only supports her choice for taking this role, but is also a part of the movie! Also, the title of the movie “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aida Laga” is so clever, especially since it references a very famous song starring Sonam Kapoor’s father, Anil Kapoor. Another thing that I already love about the movie, is that Sonam Kapoor’s character is from a small town and is not a big city girl. There is a misconception in India that lgbt folks are only found in big cities and are too ‘modernized’. So this movie taking place in a small town is excellent representation for the lgbt folks residing in small towns and showcases that lgbt folks can be found anywhere in India! So, please go watch the trailer! (it has english subtitles!) The movie comes out Feb 1st :)
