Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga: Film Review

by Vanshika Chaudhary Shelly Chopra Dhar’s Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga , written by Gazal Dhaliwal, is a traditional Bollywood rom-com with conventional characters, stereotypical humour, predictable chaos, and an anticipated happy ending, for its first half. The “progressive” part of the film only comes to light after half the film is over- Sahil finally learns the truth about Sweety.

Undoubtedly Vidya Balan perfectly portrayed Devi with her thunderous laugh, spontaneous wit and humour-filled killer looks. The  film seems to take an exaggerated tone leaving no room for boredom to sweep in. The movie is split among three facets of  Ms. Devi’s life. The first  one deals with her childhood, where we get glimpse view of her poor brahmin family and her mathematical skills are used for monetary gains by her father. Despite all this the family  could not  save Devi’s ailing sister with medical care and finally she succumbs to death.  This leads her to develop a strong resentment to her family and...
