Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga - Movie.

Finally, after a long long time, we get to watch a movie with the entire family which was full on entertainment, drama, a lot of comedy with a few very meaningful messages subtly told in a loving manner. A movie with Rajkummar Rao (as he calls himself now) in lead with Anil Jhakkas Kapoor and Juhi Chawla in support could never go wrong. Totally loved the way the family drama unfolds, making it a thrilling ride keeping the suspense alive till the very last moment as which side the tide will turn.
What I liked more about the movie was the way the taboo subject of someone's sexual orientation is touched and told never going overboard. I wish they had taken someone better than Sonam Kapoor throughout the movie was a total misfit (now that is my personal opinion of her and my wife's too), I just couldn't feel anything for her. Fortunately the little girl who plays the brief part of her younger days was way too good. Her expressions, struggle, grief was so much visible on her face and body language too was awesome, loved her. Wished big time that Sonam was able to pull it off.
120 minutes of sheer fun with so many little sub plots thrown here and there actually were the best trick for the movie to work for us. Especially the father son relationship between Kawaljit and Rajkummar, his relations with his mother (cute), Juhi Chawla's earth Shattering performance as a struggling actor and awesome cook. Anil Kapoor the Ambani of Moga and his love of cookery, his relations with his mother, daughter, son, home staff etc. Sister Brother relationship and the sea of changes it goes through in two hours. The movie has so much going on throughout that I had no complaints whatsoever and we all were thoroughly entertained. And I must say I feel proud that the makers in our part of the world are getting braver by the year to touch some untouchable subjects. Just for that reason too I wish everybody watches this gem of a movie and makes it a big hit.
