‘Parinda’ turns 35: Anil Kapoor reflects on its timeless legacy
'Parinda' is a 1989 crime drama that tells the story of two brothers, Kishen and Karan, navigating love and the criminal underworld in Mumbai.
The trailer of Sonam Kapoor-starrer romantic drama, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is here to narrate a not-so-simple love story. The Bollywood film makes a brave attempt to bring forth a same-sex love story to the screens.
Although it isn’t the first film to deal with the LGBTQ theme, it certainly has a different approach.
The trailer of the film begins as a usual Bollywood romantic cinema. However, it takes an unexpected turn in the end. The clip starts off with Sweety’s (Sonam Kapoor) family on a lookout for a groom for her, unaware of the fact that she is actually in love with a girl. Expectedly, the family couldn’t accept it and turns against her. The multi-starrer film definitely looks promising and has already garnered huge appreciation on social media.

A *mainstream* lesbian romance is just what we needed to remind ourselves that for every #Thackeray, there will be an #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga , to help balance the rapidly skewing scales. @sonamakapoor‘s film choices of late have been quite something. ❤️

#EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga is exactly what you would expect from @sonamakapoor after #VeereyDiWedding. She is definitely changing the paradigm of how leading ladies have always been portrayed in mainstream Hindi cinema. Watch out for d trailer of this not-so-normal family drama!

There’s something about the idea of #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga which I just can’t shake. A family drama centered on a lesbian love story, the very idea of it is so damn exciting and filled with hope but there’s also an underlying fear. Man they better bloody land this.
