Akshay 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 also praised the film on Twitter and wrote, “A wonderful movie that stays with you #EkLadkiKoDekhaTohAisaLaga is both relevant and funny. @sonamakapoor is absolutely lovely and @iam_juhi you cracked me up-we have a cousin who speaks exactly like you do in the movie! Folks go watch it !”

 

Sonam is said to be playing the role of a homosexual in the film. She has been hailed by her fans who have appreciated her for making such a choice. 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.”
