  Abstract


The present research study aims to perform a critical comparative analysis of two contemporary indian films, that is, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga and Badhaai Do, by focusing on the LGBTQ+ themes and characters. The comparative analysis would be used as the methodology to compare and contrast these films on the grounds of marriage of convenience, ethical and social concerns, performance of the machismo and the iteration of the performative script. Through this analysis, a nuanced understanding of the disposition of the homosexual individuals in the indian society would be attained. The knowledge gained would be transformative in nature and would deepen our understanding of how despite the legal acceptance of homosexuality in India, the social acceptance is quite far from reality.
