Vidhu Vinod Chopra: ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ is beyond the topic of Section 377

‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ released all over this morning and has been getting decent reviews everywhere. The film has been applauded by celebs like Akshay Kumar, Farah Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and others who watched it at a special screening. Producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra took a brave decision to work on such a script even before the Section 377 was passed.

When Vidhu was asked what it took to work on such script when the idea of section 377 was not acceptable in the society and how it was a brave decision to work on the script, he told, “This film is beyond the topic of section 377. When you watch the film you would feel that this film is about two people who love each other, the film is about the family and family values. We have always ensured that our every film has a message to give out to society for example in Munna Bhai there was Mahatma Gandhi who gave a message to society, in 3 Idiots also there was a message. In this film also we are trying to give out a big message of a lifetime that we have this life and we are not living the life to the fullest and this film will definitely inspire people to live their life how they want to live.”

The film has an ensemble cast of Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Juhi Chawla. The story of ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ will be instrumental in pushing the queer conversation forward in India. Representation of the LGBTQ community on celluloid has been a tedious one and with ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ it will be a great concept and lesson to be shared with all the parents out there.

This film also marks the debut of director Shelly Chopra Dhar. Stay tuned to Bollywood Bubble as we bring you the review of ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ in a short while.
