==Plot==
A young [[Punjabi people|Punjabi]] woman, Sweety Chaudhary, is under pressure from her traditional family to marry. She meets a young woman named Kuhu and Kuhu's brother Raza at a wedding. A year passes. In Delhi, Sahil Mirza is a playwright though not very successful, and his father, a famous film producer, thinks he should give up being a playwright. Sweety sees a rehearsal of his latest play and remarks that it is amusing but the romance is superficial. A man comes chasing her, and Sahil helps her flee. She escapes while Sahil fights the man, and Sahil accidentally hits a policeman. At the police station, Sahil learns that the man is Sweety's brother Babloo, and they live in Chaudhary Manor, Moga, Punjab. Sahil wants to see Sweety again and decides to write his next play in Moga. He is joined by Chatro, a caterer and enthusiastic amateur actress.

Sweety and Babloo's single father, Balbir Chaudhary, runs Chaudhary Garments, a clothing company. He actually wanted to become a cook, but his mother Beeji insists men do not belong in the kitchen. Babloo claims that Sweety has been going to Delhi to see a Muslim boy, so she must not be allowed to leave the house. Sahil goes to the manor with a letter for her. He sees Balbir cooking. Incorrectly assuming Balbir is the cook, Sahil pays him to give the letter to Sweety. This convinces Balbir that Sahil is Sweety's Muslim boyfriend. Sahil next pays Balbir's employee Chaubey to pass along a message to Sweety, and Chaubey tells Sahil that Sweety loves him though the family disapproves of her dating him because he is Muslim. A few individuals employed by the family bet on who Sweety will marry, with the cook Billauri betting on someone from a matchmaking app. Chaubey bets on “Mr. X”, any unknown outsider. Sweety learns Sahil is holding acting classes, and goes with Beeji and Billauri to the class. Sahil and Chatro are invited to Beeji's birthday party the following day.

At Beeji's party, Chatro bonds with Balbir over cooking. He notices Sahil enjoying the party and tells the others that Sahil is Sweety's Muslim boyfriend. Chaubey hides Sahil and brings him to Sweety's room. Sahil says he loves her. She tells him Babloo lied and she is actually in love with a girl. Sahil is astonished and too drunk to properly respond. The next day, he cancels the acting class. Billauri saw Chaubey taking Sahil to Sweety's room and blackmails him into exchanging their bets. She helps Sweety see Sahil again. Sweety explains that she did not fit in as a child and now she hides the truth about herself. She is in a relationship with Kuhu. Babloo discovered this and tried to stop it, but she continued to see Kuhu in Delhi. She is glad to have a friend to confide in, and Sahil is glad to be her friend. Sweety wants to join Kuhu in London and study art there, yet she does not want to run away from her family. Chatro tells Balbir she is divorced with kids, and feels her kids should be free to marry or not, and to marry whomever they want to, regardless of religion. This inspires Balbir to invite Sahil to dinner and announce Sweety's engagement to him, which Babloo encourages.

Sweety resolves to marry Sahil to make her family happy, though Sahil is against this. Sahil's supportive mother reminds him about a successful play he wrote that was based on a true story. He offers to write a play for Balbir's upcoming fashion show, with Balbir, Chatro, and the others as the actors. Sahil writes a romance titled ''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'', which will star Sweety and Kuhu. Balbir at first finds the story absurd, but Sahil defends it as a fresh new story. Babloo is supposed to be away but finds out about the play and reveals Sweety is actually in a relationship with Kuhu, not Sahil. Balbir leaves angrily, though Sweety declares the show will go on. As it becomes apparent the play is about a romance between two women, members of the audience start to leave, though many remain. After Balbir reads Sweety's diary and sees how she has felt lonely and misunderstood, he returns to the stage to defend Sweety and Kuhu. He is now accepting and supportive. The audience applauds. Later, Sahil's father congratulates him on his fresh new play. Sweety suggests Sahil present the play in other places for others like her. Balbir opens a restaurant and starts a relationship with Chatro. Billauri, claiming the gender of “Mr. X” is irrelevant, wins the bet on who Sweety would marry.

On [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has a 77% approval rating based on thirteen reviews, with an average rating of 6.89/10.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ek_ladki_ko_dekha_toh_aisa_laga|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Fandango (company)|Fandango]]|access-date=3 August 2020}}</ref>

[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of [[NDTV]] gave it four stars out of five and wrote, "In the context of a commercial filmmaking tradition that has usually been appallingly uncaring of LGBTQ sensibilities, ''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha''... is a whiff of fresh air, a huge leap forward from 2008's ''[[Dostana (2008 film)|Dostana]]''.  It does not seek to derive mirth and frivolity from the theme, offering instead an earnest, unapologetic depiction of the act of coming out in a conservative society." He found the story "simple enough and is told in a manner that could be faulted for being overly chaste — the same-sex lovers embrace a few times but they do not as much as plant a kiss on each other's cheeks, let alone lips — but the film achieves something far bigger than a Bollywood crowd-pleaser can....[It]...goads the audience to think differently without trying to deviate from its primary purpose, which is to deliver entertainment."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chatterjee|first1=Saibal|title=''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'' Movie Review: Sonam, Anil Kapoor's Film Is A Whiff Of Fresh Air With Daring Vision And Entertainment|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/ek-ladki-ko-dekha-toh-aisa-laga-movie-review-sonam-anil-kapoors-film-is-a-whiff-of-fresh-air-4-stars-1986640|website=[[NDTV]]|date=1 February 2019}}</ref>

Gaurang Chauhan of ''[[Times Now]]'' rated the film three and a half stars out of five, and although he faulted the comedic conflict of Sweety being mistaken by her family as "in love with a 'musalmaan'", he concluded that "Overall, ''Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'' is an important, well-intended film that is high on entertainment, boasts of great performances and rightfully deserves all the applause."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Chauhan|first1=Gaurang|title=Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga Movie Review: An important, well-intended entertainer that deserves applause|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/entertainment/reviews/movies/article/ek-ladki-ko-dekha-toh-aisa-laga-movie-review-an-important-well-intended-entertainer-that-deserves-applause/357898|work=[[Times Now|Times Now News]]|date=1 February 2019|access-date=1 February 2019}}</ref>
