Shelly Chopra Dhar's directorial Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga, that brings the father-daughter duo together on the big screen for the first time, took off to a slow start at the ticket windows on day one of its release. However, owing to a positive word of mouth, more footfalls are expected on Sunday. Co-written and directed by Shelly Chopra Dhar, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is a coming-of-age drama that deals with same-sex romance and is pegged as 'the most unexpected romance of the year'. Sonam Kapoor's Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is the solo Bollywood release on February 1, yet the film facing stiff competition from Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Vicky Kaushal’s Uri: The Surgical Strike, which are unstoppable at the ticket windows.

Talking about the movie, our in-house film critic Sreeju Sudhakaran wrote in his review, "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga's premise pushes boundaries by bringing homosexuality out of the closet. What sets the movie a few steps back is that it doesn't really push the boundaries in handling the unusual love story. Still, I would recommend Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga for its feel-good narrative, bold premise and some heart-warming performances from the lead cast." Stay tuned to this space for further updates.
