okay guys, thereβs something we need to talk about more..Β
netflix just released the filmΒ βek ladki ko dekha toh aisa lagaβ which is an indian movie about a girl whoβs into girls and how she gets the courage to come out and face her family and be with the woman she loves. sound familiar? yeah, i know itβs the basic plot of most hollywood lgbtq movies but thatβs not the point.Β
this is literally the first indian movie iβve seen on a famous platform, accessible by anyone, that actually represents the lgbtq community in all its beauty and love and affection, rather that scorning or mocking it.Β
the movie is beautiful and the scenes and the fluff and the cute couple and the emotions just make it so worth watching, and thatβs not all.
iβm an indian bisexual teenager and i wouldβve been so happy to have been exposed to a movie like this when i was younger. if i had seen this kind of portrayal in the film industry, i doubt that i wouldβve been the afraid young girl i was and i wouldβve had the courage to do what the main characters did and just BE MYSELF.Β
all i hope is that someone sees this movie, some little girl out there sees it and knows that she is not alone, that she is not abnormal. with a topic such as this, which has been treated as taboo for decades now in my country (still is kinda), when it is actually being represented and being represented well, i canβt help but wanna scream about it from the rooftops.Β
also just look at this adorableness:
anywho, REBLOG, SIGNAL BOOST THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
