With regards the the movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it, not too many songs and the casting was absolutely on point. I felt Sonam Kapoor did a fantastic job FOR THE ROLE SHE WAS CHOSEN TO PLAY. It wasn't dialogue heavy on her part but it didn't need to be.Her reservist nature is part the character and prefectly portray's the type of woman that holds these kinds of feelings in her heart and hides it from a traditional indian society. It also handled it ina relasitic way FOR INDIAN SOCIETY. Ideally yes woman should be listened to without the support of a man but in indian society that's not what happens ever. If you don't realise this you'll miss a large part of them movie's point! And trust me I write this personally knowing a indian girl in her situation and I could see that personality translate onto screen.
I feel like this movie got review bombed by people unwilling to deal with the fact that they find indian woman being lesbians as uncomfortable and simply bandwagon by saying Sonam's acting is bad (and I assume they label her a crazy feminist as well?). We've come a bit further now from Dostana where being gay was the butt of the joke...and in a way the play was meant to show that. Kinda meta really
