I love ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga so damn much!!!! I know there’s some valid criticism of it but I can’t help but be pulled in by the story. And I especially love Sweety because her character seems so passive but really she has a steel core. Like when she’s talking to Sahil about her brother berating her for being with Kuhu and then in the next breath she says she started secretly going to Delhi to meet her despite her brother’s rage…what a badass. That’s someone with a backbone, someone who loves herself and who believes in herself and who knows that being gay is natural.

#Idk I know some people were like this movie is for straight people #But idk I just never tire of a good coming out narrative #Also for Indians specifically this story was huge #And yeah some of it was for straight people but some of it was for gay people too #Like me trying to find Indian wlw stories #I can count them on one hand #It reminds me of 15 yrs ago when I watched pretty much every show ft wlw #Because there were so few of those around #Anyway rant over #sweety x kuhu #ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga

And some more international queer cinema for those interested.

Another Way (1982) ; Cocoon (2020) ; Margarita with a Straw (2014) ; Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) ; Rafiki (2018) ; The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman (1971)

#I really need to watch much more international queer cinema huh #I liked these slightly less than the ones on my other list but they are still very very good #I mean the first five are #The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman... is trash #and not the best representation either #but it is like FUN trash #listen it's a movie called “The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman”. What were you expecting #Rafiki #Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga #The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman #Margarita with a Straw #Cocoon #Another Way #queer cinema #international cinema

Genuinely pissed that Regina Cassandra is credited as a special appearance when Kuhu is the fulcrum of ELKD?! What rubbish.

Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui and Badhaai Do are the best fucking queer films in the history of cinema and this post is a big ass FUCK YOU AND YOUR SHITTY OPINIONS to all the homophobes and (some of) our very own queer "critics" who hail problematic shit in BLs and Hollywood as the epitome of queer representation but downgrade anything genuine that Bollywood/Indian media puts out.

#eW sTrAiGhT pEoPlE pReTenDinG tO bE gAy-- #Honestly the queer people being pissed me off more than your regualr homophobes #Like the people that hate us I can understand them bashing the film #But when your own people do it???? #Honestly y'alls opinions are invalid and these are all the best fucking films ever PERIODT #queer bollywood #queer desi #LGBTQ #Bollywood #ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga #shubh mangal zyada saavdhan #chandigarh kare aashiqui #badhaai do

Once in a while, I hyper fixate over a Desi piece of media. And when I do, I'm so deep into it, I can't get out until I find another pair of gay men in some anime

I love in ek ladki when kuhu is trying to highlight her brother’s good qualities and sweety literally says NOTHING, just kind of stares, and after half a second kuhu switches tack to highlight HER good qualities

#The gaydar is on point #Love an extrovert introvert match up #kuhu x sweety #Ek ladki #ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga #She really said actually I’m pretty great too

[betweenheroesandvillains]

so close to just watching ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga just to have some kind of mood

#at least a mood that isn't bitter sad kind of angry #ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga
