LAHORE – Eik Ladki Ko Dekha Tou Aisa Laga’s team hosted a special screening of the film for their industry friends on Thursday. Sonam, Anil, Juhi and Shelly Chopra Dhar and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra were present at the screening. Sonam’s husband Anand Ahuja and cousin Janhvi Kapoor also came along to support her at the screening.
The film is a whiff of fresh air, a huge leap forward from 2008’s Dostana. It does not seem to portray it in a hidden way in fact the basic theme of the film is to support the LGBT community.
Akshay Kumar later shared a picture from the screening along with his review, “Still thinking about this beautiful film, #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga – hats off to this woman! @sonamkapoor take a bow for making this film, deals with an important subject so wonderfully.”
Twinkle Khanna also shared her view on the film after attending it with hubby.

In a HT report, film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi has called the film a smaller release with only 800-900 screens. Predicting an opening of around Rs 2 crore, Rathi told HT, “While it’s a very non-conventional subject to be put out on the silver screen, as a society, India has become a lot more accepting of homosexuality as a concept which has been normalised now. I really hope the movie doesn’t speak about homosexuality in a serious way as that may bore the audience.”
The film released on the 1st of February.
