The quality of the writing is best exemplified not only by the manner in which Ek Ladki Ko Dekha. pricks the ingrained biases of the female protagonist's family, articulated primarily by the fulminations of an overly aggressive elder brother ( played with remarkable elan by Abhishek Duhan) , but also by the incrementally positive effect that the unfolding story has on the audience.
When the heroine comes out - first with a question ( Zaroori hai kya mujhe ek munde se hi pyar ho? ) and then with a firm statement ( Main ek ladki se pyaar karti hoon. Period.) - the unsuspecting man who is besotted with her breaks into drunken laughter. One presumes even the audience does just that, if not audibly. The lover is quick to regret his unthinking reaction. The audience takes a little longer to warm up to the girl's struggles but does begin to see ( well before the climax) the point that the film is making.
