New Delhi: Bollywood has never given fair treatment to the films revolving around same-sex love. It has either made a mockery out of it or denied the attention that it deserved. Films like Dostana, Student of The Year and even Kal Ho Na Ho are some of the examples of Bollywood's tryst with homosexual relationships.
However, Sonam Kapoor starrer Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga which is based on the same subject looked promising and even claimed to address the concerns of the people from the LGBTQ community.
Popular LGBT and child rights activist Harish Iyer, who is known for his fierce views on homosexuality, has reviewed Sonam's Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga.
In a series of tweets, Harish wrote, "out of the theater, but the thing is - the film hasn't left me. I can't believe what I saw. While people were waiting to find the right time and day and age for making a film like this, @VVCFilms actually went ahead and made it. The time is good. the time is now. #SetLoveFree."
