Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga reminds me of Piku somehow,with the simple family story line and feel-good songs, also the budget. No-one expected Piku to be a superhit but it did really well at the b.o. At first, the 2 movies might not have any similarity but dig deeper and I found these 3 similarities--
1. This upcoming film underlines the relationship of a father and daughter as well. As seen in the teaser, we see Sonam Kapoor with father Anil Kapoor and it's for the first time the real father-daughter duo will be sharing screen-space.
2. The slice-of-life feel the movie portrays...the feel-good vibe and songs which are light and sparkling.
3. The queer love story notwithstanding, the movie is a family drama like Piku, with very well-etched out characters and the relationship between Sonam and Rajkumar is also pivotal to the story.
So can it break box office records? It might be a small film, but it seems to have a big heart❤️
I don't know why, am really rooting for this movie!
