Bollywood cinema saw a significant change in the recent few years with the kind of content it is serving and the topics it has decided to talk about. It is not just concentrating on entertainment but is now aiming to well tie and balance it with thought-provoking and inspiring stories. There is more focus on the writing, plot, and performances more than just roping in megastars for big box office numbers. This should not be mistaken with the fact that trash comedies do not happen now, they do and in fact, they should, for entertainment too is a major aspect of the industry but it is the well-balanced content distribution that we are talking about. And proof of that was the year 2018.
Where there were big budget movies like Thugs of Hindostan, Zero, Race 3 of the three ruling Khans of Bollywood which flopped because the audiences refused to watch illogical stories, movies like Andhadhun, October, Badhaai Ho, Stree, Raazi became the flag bearers of the year.

The title of the movie is inspired from a very popular track ‘Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’ from Anil Kapoor’s film, 1942: A Love Story.
Up until now, mostly whenever someone has tried to push the same-sex conversation in our country through cinema has faced bans and cuts that may void the effect of the film. But a lot of hopes are riding on this one, both of the filmmakers and the audiences.

If dealt with the topic properly, this movie can sure leave a lasting impression and can fare very well.
