We recently listed our TOP INDIAN QUEER MOVIES and now there may be a new addition to this . Only a few months after India finally legalized homosexuality, the first mainstream Indian film to focus on a same-sex relationship has just opened to wide acclaim (the trailer below has 21 million hits already).
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (How I Felt When I Saw A Girl) tells the story of a family trying to get their daughter married, but the daughter, already in a relationship with a woman, struggles with how to inform her family about her sexuality.
Interesting enough the father is played by legendary Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor while his real-life daughter Sonam Kapoor plays the central character, Sweety. Both them and the film are getting rave reviews in the Indian press and is now playing in select movie theaters in the US.
