EK LADKI KO DEKHA TOH AISA LAGA  Review

Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga review

OVERVIEW

• The first mainstream Hindi film that, somewhat gives the required respect to the theme of same-sex love, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is easy to relate to and grasp . 

• The second half is  a bit predictable . 

• The writing isn’t all top-grade, but this film has its heart in the right place and sometimes that’s all that really matters.

• The film aims to send out a message of “let love be” and “set love free” .

PERFORMANCES

ANIL KAPOOR

Just love using the adjective 'Jhakaas' for Ak . Only he can do justice to this one . What an act . Livens the movie not just with his act ,  but his presence is enough . The adorable romantic comedy between Kapoor and Juhi Chawla is a sure-shot winner .

SONAM KAPOOR

Sonam Kapoor definitely needs an applause for choosing this film. Yes , she has been extremely experimental with her roles recently but this one raised the bar a lot more higher . 

Truly fearless . I beleive no other actor could have done the same amount of justice to the character of Sweety , as Sonam does .  

Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga 

RAJKUMAR RAO 

Rajkumar is successful in delivering his mark even though among Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla . He brings smile to your faces whenever he is on the screen . Really happy to see him next in this one after 'Stree' (  I want to erase the '5wedings' memory from my mind ) .

JUHI CHAWLA

I wonder why she is'nt doing much films . She is so good . A scene stealer !!
 And her chemistry with Anil Kapoor is really interesting . Their innocent chemistry brought a genuine smile on my face  Hope we'll see more of her in the future . 

(I tried my best to explain their roles , but yaar "Inkebaare mein jitna bhi likho , kam hai ." )

REST  

Special mention to the Gifty Biji (you'll get it , once you have watched the movie ) , one more show stealer . 
The rest of the cast too has done their job pretty well .    

Dialogues

Dialogues by Ghazal Dhaliwal are sure shot winners . Specially in the first half  . Really quirky and straight to the point . Even the family drama scenes never felt boring . Such good are the dialogues . 

Music 

No one would be very interested in talking about the music of the film . I never expect a blockbuster album , but a decent one . Audience would remember only 2 songs when they are out of the theatres, title track 'Ek ladki' and 'Gud Naal' that too just because, they are remakes . Not much efforts from the makers to atleast add even a slightly rememberable new element . Disappointing !!  

Direction 

Shelly Chopra is really good at it . Handled the pressure really well , being a sister of the 'Blockbuster Producer' , Vidhu Vinod Chopra (Sanju , PK , 3 idiots , Munna Bhai) . 
Leaving aside 2-3 sequences ,  she has complete control over the movie . 
More respect for handling such a sensitive subject , the way it should be ,SENSIBLY .  

This is what Akshay Kumar has to say about the movie and the cast - 

"We just watched Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and in one word, it's brilliant. Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Juhi Chawla great performances and aptly cast and Rajkummar Rao, what a role! Guys, do watch it, I loved it . Still thinking about this beautiful film, #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga - hats off to this woman! @sonamakapoor take a bow for making this film, deals with an important subject so wonderfully."

My Opinion 

• Hats off to the makers of the film for choosing such a topic . It needed attention . 
• But choosing the subject is'nt enough . Entertainment is the top most priority . 
• And this is where the makers need appreciation . How often do we see such great subjects being totally wasted because of less attention to other aspects . 
• Vidhu Chopra along with Shelly Chopra ensures that this movie replaces the 'Dostana' example whenver someone talks about 'same sex love' . 
• Definitely a mind opener for the mostly conservative Indian audience . Highly Recommended . 

FACTS

• Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is Sonam and Anil Kapoor's first film together.
• Director Shelly Chopra Dhar is the sister of producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra and this is their first collaboration .  
• The title 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' has been taken from Anil Kapoor's film only '1942 : A Love Story' .
